Yard Sale Treasure Finder Privacy Policy

Estimates are informational only

The app produces estimates of resale value using AI and public marketplace data. Estimates are not appraisals, offers, or guarantees. Actual value depends on condition, authenticity, completeness, fees, shipping, local demand, and timing.

Information we collect

Photos you submit. When you scan an item, the photo(s) you choose are uploaded to our backend and sent to an AI service and marketplace lookups to generate a value estimate. Photos are not analyzed until you submit a scan; selecting a photo does not upload it.

Scan details. Item information you add (notes, brand, model, condition, asking price) and the resulting estimate, comparable listings, and related metadata are stored with your account.

Account information. If you create an account, we store your email address. You can also use the app with an anonymous session, in which case we store only a randomly generated identifier.

Subscription & purchase information. Auto-renewable subscriptions are processed by Apple. We receive transaction identifiers and entitlement status to unlock features and enforce scan limits; we do not receive your full payment details.

Diagnostic data. Basic technical logs (for example, error states) used to operate and improve the service.

How we use information

We use your information to analyze your photos and produce resale-value estimates and comparable listings; to save your scans and Treasure Chest so you can return to them; to manage your account, subscription entitlements, and scan limits; and to operate, secure, and improve the app.

Service providers

We share data only with providers that help us run the app: Supabase (backend database, authentication, and file storage); AI provider(s) (to analyze your submitted photo and item details and generate an estimate); marketplace data sources such as eBay (to retrieve comparable listings used in the estimate); and Apple (to process subscriptions). We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising or tracking across apps.

Data retention and deletion

Your scans and account data are retained while your account is active. You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time in Settings → Account → Delete Account inside the app. This removes your scans, saved items, and account from our servers and cannot be undone. You can also email us to request deletion.

Children

The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your choices

You can use anonymous mode to avoid providing an email, delete individual scans or your entire account from within the app, and manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and post the revised version here.
