Who We Are

Commander Oracle (trading as MTG Oracle, accessible at mtgoracle.gg) is an independent fan-made website for Magic: The Gathering Commander players. The site is operated by an individual based in the United Kingdom and is not affiliated with Wizards of the Coast, Hasbro, or any other MTG publisher.

For privacy-related enquiries, you can contact us at admin@mtgoracle.gg.

What Data We Collect

Commander Oracle does not collect or store any personal data directly. We do not have user accounts, contact forms that store submissions, or any server-side database.

However, the following third-party services are active on this site and may collect data about your visit:

  • Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics: We use Google Tag Manager (container GTM-59QP7CV6) to load Google Analytics. Google Analytics collects anonymised usage data including pages visited, time on site, browser type, operating system, and approximate geographic location (derived from IP address). Your IP address is anonymised before it is stored. This data is processed by Google LLC under their own privacy policy.
  • Scryfall API: When you use our tools, your browser makes requests directly to the Scryfall API (api.scryfall.com) to fetch card data and images. Scryfall may log these requests. We do not pass any personal information to Scryfall.
  • EDHREC API: Deck recommendation and synergy data is fetched directly from EDHREC (json.edhrec.com). EDHREC may log API requests from your browser.

Cookies

We do not set any first-party cookies ourselves. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to distinguish unique visitors and sessions. These are analytics cookies, not advertising cookies.

The cookies set by Google Analytics typically include _ga (expires after 2 years, used to distinguish users) and _ga_[ID] (expires after 2 years, used to persist session state).

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by adjusting your browser's cookie settings.

Affiliate Links

Some links on Commander Oracle are affiliate links. When you click a buy link on a card and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer at no extra cost to you. The retailers we currently work with (or have applied to work with) include:

  • Card Kingdom (cardkingdom.com) via their partner programme
  • Manapool (manapool.com) via their referral programme
  • Cardmarket (cardmarket.com) via their affiliate programme

Clicking an affiliate link does not share any personal information about you with us. The retailer's own privacy policy applies once you navigate to their site.

Affiliate links are used to help cover the costs of running this site. They do not influence which cards are recommended: all recommendations come from EDHREC synergy data.

Third-Party Services

Our tools make live API calls to the following external services. Each operates under their own privacy policy:

Exchange rate data used for currency conversion is fetched from api.exchangerate-api.com. No personal data is sent in these requests.

Your Rights Under UK GDPR

If you are based in the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, you have rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Because Commander Oracle does not collect personal data directly, most of these rights relate to data held by our third-party service providers (principally Google Analytics).

Your rights include:

  • The right to access data held about you
  • The right to request deletion of your data
  • The right to object to processing of your data
  • The right to data portability
  • The right to withdraw consent at any time

To exercise rights relating to Google Analytics data, please refer to Google's privacy controls. For any other queries, contact us at admin@mtgoracle.gg.

If you believe your data has been handled unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Data Retention

As Commander Oracle holds no personal data directly, there is no retention period applicable to our systems. Google Analytics retains anonymised usage data for 26 months by default, after which it is deleted automatically.

Children's Privacy

Commander Oracle is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information via this site, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
