Privacy Policy

About This Site

MtG-RC (mtg-rc.com) is a free, unofficial Magic: The Gathering rules reference supported by Google AdSense. This policy explains information processed by MtG-RC and its service providers, why it is used, and the choices available to you.

Advertising, Cookies & Identifiers

Google AdSense and its advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites. When ads are served, third parties may place or read cookies and may use web beacons, IP addresses, browser or device identifiers, and similar technologies to deliver, measure, and protect advertising. Depending on your settings, location, and consent choices, ads may be personalized or non-personalized.

Read Google’s Privacy Policy and How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.

To opt out of personalized advertising, use Google Ads Settings, the DAA opt-out tool, or the NAI opt-out tool.

Ask AI, Resolve & API Requests

When you submit a question to Ask AI or Resolve, the question, selected card names, relevant rules and card Oracle text, and up to 10 recent conversation messages are sent to OpenAI through Replit’s AI Integrations service to generate an answer. OpenAI and Replit process this information under their own privacy policies. Do not include sensitive personal information in questions.

The application does not intentionally store question text or generated answers in its server database. It logs request metadata such as question length, retrieved-rule counts, token usage, and response time, not the question text.

To enforce API rate limits and prevent abuse, the API derives a SHA-256 hash from the client IP address and uses it as a rate-limit key. The application does not store the raw IP address in its rate-limit table. Counters use 60-second windows and expired records are cleaned up. Replit’s hosting infrastructure may process connection information to operate and secure the service.

Third-Party Services

• Google AdSense and Funding Choices serve ads and consent messages and may process advertising identifiers as described above.
• Google Fonts loads typefaces from Google’s servers.
• Scryfall provides card imagery, Oracle text, and set data; requests are made from your browser and may be logged by Scryfall.
• Replit hosts the site and provides the AI integration service; OpenAI processes submitted AI questions and context. See the Replit Privacy Policy, OpenAI Privacy Policy, and Scryfall Privacy Policy.

Local Browser Storage

Bookmarks, theme and language preferences, saved/recent answers, and deck lists are stored in your browser where those features are used. Saving these items does not upload them to MtG-RC’s application server. You can remove browser storage through your browser’s site-data controls.

Consent and Privacy Choices

When personalized ads are served to users in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, Google requires a Google-certified consent management platform integrated with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. MtG-RC uses Google Funding Choices for AdSense; the message and choices shown depend on your location and the live AdSense configuration. Google’s consent tools can also display privacy choices for applicable US state regulations.

Use the site-wide Privacy and cookie settings link to reopen the European consent message and change or withdraw that choice. If the settings message does not open, contact privacy@mtg-rc.com.
