Privacy Policy

Welcome to CardChecker (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and web service (collectively, the “Service”).

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2.1 Information You Provide

• Account registration information (name, email address)
• Card images you upload for analysis
• Collection and watchlist data you create
• Transaction and credit purchase history

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

• Device information (device type, operating system)
• Usage data (pages visited, features used, timestamps)
• Camera access data (only when you actively use the scanner)

We use the collected information to:

• Provide card identification, pricing, and grading services
• Maintain your collection and watchlist
• Process credit purchases and manage your account
• Improve our AI models and service quality
• Send service-related notifications (price alerts, account updates)
• Ensure security and prevent fraud

When you upload card images for analysis, the images are processed by our AI systems to identify cards and assess condition. Images are:

• Sent to our secure servers for processing
• Analyzed using computer vision and AI models (including third-party AI services such as Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude)
• Stored temporarily during the analysis process
• Not shared with other users unless you explicitly create a public report

We may share your information with:

• Service Providers: Third-party services that help us operate (cloud hosting, AI processing, payment processing)
• CardMarket: We retrieve public pricing data from CardMarket; your personal data is not shared with them
• Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

We retain your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time through the Account settings page.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access and receive a copy of your personal data
• Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Data portability
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise these rights, please contact us at the email below.

Our app may request access to your device camera to scan trading cards. Camera access is used solely for card image capture and is never activated without your explicit action. You can revoke camera permissions at any time through your device settings.

Our Service is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
