Privacy Policy for AliCards

Last updated: July 29, 2026

What information we collect

How we use it

To operate the app's core features: identifying and valuing your cards, syncing your collection across your devices, letting you share showrooms, and showing you a feed of people you follow. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Third parties involved

Card photos and text you submit for identification, grading estimates, or market value lookups are sent to Anthropic (the AI provider) to generate a response, including using web search to find current market data. Anthropic's own privacy practices apply to that processing — see Anthropic's Privacy Policy.

What's public vs. private

Your full card collection is private by default. Showrooms you explicitly create, and your public profile (display name, avatar, and the showrooms you've made), are visible to anyone with the link, or to people who look you up to follow you. Don't include anything in a showroom or public profile you wouldn't want a stranger to see.

Data retention and deletion

You can permanently delete your account at any time from the Profile screen in the app ("Delete My Account"). This immediately and permanently removes your login credentials, your card collection, your settings, your profile information, your follow relationships, and your private messages. Showrooms you previously shared publicly are kept accessible via their existing links, but are no longer associated with your account.

Security

Passwords are hashed, not stored in plain text. Sessions use signed tokens. That said, no system is perfectly secure, and this app currently stores data in files on a server disk rather than a hardened database — appropriate for early use, but worth upgrading before handling data at scale or for sensitive use cases.

Children's privacy

This app is not directed at children under 13 (or the relevant age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect information from children under that age.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
