Privacy Policy

How Diamond Pulse handles data

Last updated: July 7, 2026. This policy is written for the current public web app, early-access accounts, the Red Diamond Pro subscription path, and the Card Import browser extension.

Overview

Diamond Pulse is an independent MLB The Show Diamond Dynasty decision tool. The current app is mostly browser-based: you can search cards, use market and program tools, and manually enter squad or inventory information. Future account, subscription, cloud-save, and Sony-account-linking features will not go live until the related privacy and security handling is updated.

Information you provide

You may enter card names, manual prices, squad slots, inventory rows, program preferences, watchlist-style choices, and similar gameplay-planning information. When account features are enabled, you may also provide an email address, password or authentication method, profile settings, saved squads, saved inventory, saved searches, subscription status, and support messages.

Local browser storage

Some current tools save information in your browser using local storage. This can include squad selections, inventory imports, tool preferences, or other data you enter so the app remembers it on the same device. Local storage is controlled by your browser and can be cleared through your browser settings. Local browser data does not automatically travel across devices.

Usage and technical data

Like most websites, Diamond Pulse and its hosting providers may process technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages requested, timestamps, error logs, and similar diagnostic information. This helps operate, secure, debug, and improve the app.

Cookies, analytics, and tracking

Diamond Pulse may use essential cookies or browser storage for login, security, preferences, and saved tool state.

Diamond Pulse uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand aggregate site usage, such as page views, referring sites, and general country or device type. Cloudflare Web Analytics is privacy-first: it does not use cookies, does not fingerprint or track individuals across sites, and does not collect personal data. It is used only to see which pages and tools are used so the app can be improved. If advertising, affiliate links, cross-site tracking, or personally identifiable analytics are added later, this policy will be updated before those tools are used in a meaningful way.

Email we send you

If you create an account, Diamond Pulse may send you email about the service itself: a welcome message, notes on what has changed or been fixed, security or account notices, and replies to support messages you send us. These are part of running the app.

We may also occasionally send product news, such as a new tool or a roadmap update. Every message of that kind includes a working unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing stops all non-essential email immediately without affecting your account. Account, security, billing, and support replies are not marketing and will still reach you.

Diamond Pulse does not sell, rent, or share your email address with advertisers, and does not add you to third-party marketing lists. Email is delivered through a third-party email provider, which processes your address for the sole purpose of sending these messages. You can also reply directly to any email we send and reach a real person.

Accounts, subscriptions, and payments

Diamond Pulse may use Supabase for authentication and cloud data, and Stripe for Red Diamond Pro payments and subscription status. Diamond Pulse does not store full payment card numbers on its own servers. Payment processors may collect and process billing information under their own policies and security controls.

Sony, PlayStation, and account linking

Diamond Pulse does not connect to or authenticate with your Sony, PlayStation, MLB The Show, or console account, and does not receive or store credentials for those services. The optional Card Import extension described below works only with inventory data you choose to prepare from your own signed-in browser session; it is user-provided data, not an account link. If direct account linking is offered later, it should use a permitted, secure flow and a dedicated policy update explaining what is accessed, why it is accessed, how long it is kept, and how you can disconnect it.

Card inventory imports (Card Import extension)

Red Diamond Pro members can use the optional Diamond Pulse Card Import browser extension to manually import their MLB The Show card inventory. Every import is user-initiated: the extension only reads your inventory when you click Prepare, the prepared data stays in your browser tab's memory and expires after a few minutes, and nothing is sent to Diamond Pulse until you confirm the import on the Diamond Pulse import page while signed in to your Diamond Pulse account.

What Diamond Pulse stores when you confirm an import: a hashed public catalog key for each card, the item type, the quantity, the import timestamp, extension version, consent version, normalization version, row status, and import session metadata tied to your Diamond Pulse account.

What is never collected: Sony, console, MLB The Show, or PlayStation credentials, cookies, tokens, or authentication headers; browser storage; raw page bodies or raw API responses; stubs balance; program progress; market prices; order or pack history; names; full IDs; or full URLs from the source site.

Your controls: from the import page you can export your stored import data or permanently delete all stored import rows and sessions at any time. Each new confirmed import replaces your previous imported inventory snapshot. Imports are manual and user-initiated; this is user-provided browser-session data, not live sync, automatic sync, or an official MLB, Sony, San Diego Studio, or PlayStation integration.

How information is used

Diamond Pulse may use information to provide and improve the app, remember your tool settings, operate account and subscription features, personalize recommendations when user data is enabled, respond to support requests, protect against abuse, debug errors, comply with legal obligations, and communicate important service updates.

How information is shared

Diamond Pulse may share information with service providers that help run the app, such as hosting, authentication, database, payment, email, analytics, security, or support providers. Diamond Pulse may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, to investigate abuse, or as part of a business transfer. Diamond Pulse does not sell user inventory, squad, or gameplay-planning data.

Retention

Local browser data remains on your device until you clear it or the app replaces it. Future account data should be kept for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, maintain security, or keep reasonable backups. You may request deletion of account data once account support processes are live.

Your choices and privacy requests

You can clear local browser data through your browser. Once accounts are live, Diamond Pulse should provide a way to access, correct, export, or delete account data where required by law and technically feasible. If you are a New Jersey resident or live in another state with consumer privacy rights, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or opt out of certain uses of personal data depending on whether the law applies to Diamond Pulse at that time.

New Jersey note

Diamond Pulse is operated from New Jersey. New Jersey has a consumer privacy law that may apply to businesses that process personal data at certain scale thresholds. Diamond Pulse should review those obligations as traffic, accounts, subscriptions, analytics, and personalization grow.

Children

Diamond Pulse is not directed to children under 13 and should not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 provided personal information, contact Diamond Pulse so the information can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.

Security

No website or online service can guarantee perfect security. Diamond Pulse should use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate for the stage of the product, especially for accounts, payments, cloud saves, or future account linking.

Third-party links and data sources

Diamond Pulse may link to third-party websites or use public data sources. Third-party websites and services are governed by their own privacy policies. Diamond Pulse is not responsible for their privacy practices.

Independent fan tool

Diamond Pulse is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Sony Interactive Entertainment, San Diego Studio, PlayStation, Major League Baseball, MLBPA, or MLB Advanced Media.

Changes and contact

This policy may be updated as the app changes. Before paid accounts or account linking launch, this policy should be reviewed again. Privacy questions can be directed to privacy@diamondpulse.io.
