Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 27, 2025

1. Introduction

CardScope ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in our Pokémon card collection and pricing application.

2. Data We Collect

CardScope is designed with privacy as a core principle. We collect minimal data:

• Local Device Data: Your card collection, pricing history, and app preferences are stored locally on your device using AsyncStorage
• No Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any personally identifiable information
• No Account Required: You can use CardScope without creating an account or providing any personal details

3. How We Use Data

• Pricing Data: We fetch public pricing information from eBay's Finding API to show market values for Pokémon cards
• Card Database: We maintain a local database of Pokémon cards (from Pokémon TCG API) for card identification
• Camera Access: Used only for scanning cards; images are processed locally and not uploaded

4. Data Storage

All your collection data is stored locally on your device. We do not have access to your collection, and we do not store your data on our servers. Your data stays on your device.

5. Third-Party Services

CardScope integrates with the following third-party services:

• eBay Finding API: To retrieve public pricing data for cards (no user data shared)
• Pokémon TCG API: To retrieve card information and images (public data only)

These services have their own privacy policies. We do not share any of your personal information with these services.

6. eBay Account Deletion

If you use eBay through CardScope and later delete your eBay account, we will comply with eBay's Marketplace Account Deletion notification requirements. Since we do not store eBay user data on our servers, there is no data to delete. All data is local to your device.

7. Data Deletion

You have complete control over your data:

• Delete individual cards from your collection within the app
• Clear all collection data in the app settings
• Uninstall the app to remove all local data

8. Children's Privacy

CardScope does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The app is designed for general audiences and does not require personal information to function.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of CardScope after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

11. Your Rights (GDPR/CCPA)

Since we do not collect or store personal data on our servers, there is no personal data for us to access, correct, or delete. All data is stored locally on your device and under your control.
