Privacy Policy

Effective November 12, 2026

GradeIT ("we", "us") is a mobile app that identifies trading cards from photos, estimates their condition and shows market prices. This policy explains what information the app handles and why. We keep it short because we collect very little.

In one paragraph: GradeIT has no accounts and no ads. Your collection is stored on your phone. Card photos are sent to our server to identify the card and estimate its condition, and are not kept afterwards. We do not sell or share personal information.

Information the app handles

Card photos. When you scan a card, the photos you take are sent over an encrypted connection to our server, which analyses them to identify the card and estimate its condition. To identify the card, the photo is also sent to a third-party card-recognition service (CardSight AI). Photos are processed in memory and deleted once the result is returned; we do not store them, and we do not use them for any other purpose.
Card names and searches. The names, sets and numbers of cards you scan or search are sent to pricing and catalog services (JustTCG, TCGdex, Scryfall, and marketplace listing searches) to fetch prices and images. These requests contain card details only, never anything that identifies you.
Your collection ("binder"). Cards you save are stored only on your device. Deleting the app deletes them. We cannot see your binder.
Settings. Preferences such as your price alert threshold and server settings are stored on your device.
Technical logs. Our server keeps short-lived operational logs (request timing and errors) to keep the service working. They contain no photos and no personal details.

Information we do not collect

No account, name, email, phone number or payment details are required or collected by the app.
No precise location. The camera is used only to photograph cards.
No advertising identifiers, no ad networks, no analytics or tracking SDKs.
No contacts, messages or files other than the photos you choose to take or pick.

Permissions

Camera is used to photograph cards. Photos access, when you grant it, is used only to pick an existing card photo. You can revoke either in your phone's settings; scanning will then be unavailable.

Third-party services

To provide its features the app relies on these services, each receiving only what is listed above: CardSight AI (card identification from photos), JustTCG and TCGdex (card catalog and prices), Scryfall (Magic card data), and marketplace listing searches for sold-price references. Each operates under its own privacy policy.

Data retention

Photos: not retained after processing. Price and catalog data: cached on our server as public, non-personal information. Operational logs: rotated automatically within days.

Children

GradeIT is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Since the app collects no personal information, no child data is retained.

Security

All traffic between the app and our server is encrypted (HTTPS), and the server accepts requests only from the app.

Your choices

You can stop all data handling by deleting the app, which also deletes your binder. Because we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to export or delete on our side; if you believe otherwise, contact us and we will check.

Changes

We will update this page when the app's data handling changes, and update the effective date above. Material changes will also be announced in the app or on our X account.
