Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how Card Value Scanner (“we,” “us,” or “our”) may collect, use, store, share, and delete information when you use our website or mobile app. Card Value Scanner is a Pokémon card value scanner that identifies cards from photos and shows market prices, graded values, and collection totals for collectors and sellers.

Card Value Scanner is an unofficial fan tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by The Pokémon Company, Nintendo, Creatures, or GAME FREAK.

Information We May Collect

• Card scan data: photos you upload or capture, matched card details, scan timestamps, saved collection entries, and export history.
• Account data: email address, display name, login credentials, subscription or purchase status, and support messages.
• Device and app data: device type, operating system, app version, language, crash logs, performance diagnostics, and general usage analytics.
• Website data: IP address, browser type, pages viewed, referral source, and cookie or similar technology identifiers when you browse cardvaluescanner.io.

How We Use Information

• Identify Pokémon TCG cards from photos and display market-price estimates, graded-value ranges, and collection totals.
• Maintain your saved scans, collection dashboard, exports, and account settings.
• Improve recognition accuracy, pricing workflows, reliability, security, and customer support.
• Send service notices, policy updates, and optional product messages where permitted.
• Comply with law, enforce terms, prevent abuse, and protect users and the service.

Sharing, Retention, and Security

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with service providers that help us host the app, process images, deliver analytics, prevent fraud, handle payments, or answer support requests. Those providers may use data only to perform services for us.

We retain information for as long as needed to provide the service, maintain records you request, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal obligations. Security measures may include encryption in transit, access controls, and monitoring, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices

• Review and update account details in the app where available.
• Request export, correction, or deletion of personal data through the support contact below.
• Delete the app from your device; server-side data may remain until you request account deletion.
• Adjust browser cookie settings for the website. Some features may not work without essential cookies.

Children and Contact

The service may be used by families, but parents or guardians should supervise minors who scan or save card collections. If you believe a child provided personal information without appropriate consent, contact us so we can review and delete it where required.

For privacy questions or deletion requests, contact us through the support channel listed in the app or on cardvaluescanner.io.

Policy Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above and may provide additional notice in the app or on this page. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
