hello@palhatchery.com
Everything goes to that address. Bugs, wrong data, deletion requests, business, and copyright and takedown notices, which are the ones handled first. There is no contact form, because a form is one more thing that can break between you and an inbox.
What to write about
- Take something down
- Send the URL. Say what you want gone. Share links come down on the word of anyone they belong to, or whose name or world data is in them, and no explanation is needed. Copyright owners and Pocketpair should read Intellectual property and takedowns below, though a plain email works too.
- Something is broken
- Tell us the page, what you did, and what your browser is. If the save reader choked, the in-app report button already sends the useful technical detail. It never sends your save.
- The data is wrong
- A breeding pair that doesn't produce what we say, a passive on the wrong pal, a spawn in the wrong place. Name the pals and, if you can, what the game actually did. This is the best mail we get.
- Delete my data
- Your collection lives in your browser. Erase in the site header removes it, and we never had a readable copy. To get something off the server, send the backup code, transfer code, or share link and it will be deleted. See the Privacy Policy.
- Advertising and business
- Same address.
Intellectual property and takedowns
Pal Hatchery is a fan-made tool. Palworld and everything in it, including pal names, characters, artwork, icons and game data, is the property of Pocketpair, Inc. This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by or approved by Pocketpair, and claims no ownership of any of their material. It appears here for identification and reference so players can look up their own game.
To Pocketpair: if any use of your material here is unwelcome, email hello@palhatchery.com and say what you want changed. We will comply promptly, up to removing artwork or shutting the site down, and you will not need to send a formal notice first.
Copyright notice (DMCA)
If you own a copyright in material appearing on this site and believe it is used without authorization, send a notice to hello@palhatchery.com including:
- your name, address and contact details;
- identification of the work you say is infringed;
- the URL or a description precise enough for us to find the material;
- a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
- a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf;
- your signature (an electronic signature is fine).
Valid notices are acted on quickly. No revenue here is tied to any single piece of content, so nothing is worth arguing about. Material named in a good-faith notice comes down first and gets discussed afterwards.
The site's own code and data
The application code is original work. Learnsets, drop tables, loot odds and every in-game name and description are our own export of the game's data files. The rest is other people's work, and not all of it comes from an openly licensed project:
- Pal stats, the 44,849-pair breeding table and icons · tylercamp/palcalc (MIT).
- Element types · paldb.cc, backfilled from KrisCris/Palworld-Pal-Editor.
- Spawn points, alpha boss locations and the world-map basemap tiles · pulled from palworld.tools, a Palworld map site, rather than from a licensed release. The tiles are renders of the in-game map and remain Pocketpair's.
- Save decompression · ooz, compiled to WebAssembly.
- Save-format reader · ported from palworld-save-tools (MIT).
Credits are negotiable. If you maintain one of these and want the wording changed, or want it removed, just ask.
Reporting a security issue
Good-faith reports are welcome. They will never be met with legal action. Email hello@palhatchery.com, describe what you found, and give a reasonable window to fix it before publishing. Please don't test against other people's data or degrade the service for anyone else.
Response times
One person runs this as a hobby. Replies are not instant. Copyright notices and data deletion requests are handled first, and in any case within 30 days.
