App: Collectible Identifier – AI Scan
Contact: [email protected]
Last updated: 21 January 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use Collectible Identifier – AI Scan (the “App”) and related services (the “Service”). The Service is provided by the developer of the App (“we”, “us”, “our”).

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways, depending on how you use the App.

  • Photos and images you provide. If you choose to capture a photo with the camera or select images from your Photo Library, we access those images to perform antique identification. When you start an identification, the App uploads the selected images to our backend service at https://antique.coderelay.dev for processing.
  • Text you provide. If you use the in-app AI assistant or send messages, the text you enter is sent to our backend service to generate a response.
  • Device and app information. When the App communicates with our backend, it sends technical information such as device model, iOS version, preferred language, locale, app version, and a pseudonymous identifier derived from your device (IDFV) used as a user identifier.
  • Server log data. Like most online services, our servers may automatically receive basic log information (such as IP address, request time, and request metadata) to operate, secure, and debug the Service.
  • Support communications. If you contact us (for example, by email), we receive the information you send (such as your email address and message content).
  • Purchase information. If you purchase a subscription or other in-app purchase, Apple processes your payment and we do not receive your full payment details. We may receive and/or process purchase-related information such as product identifiers, purchase status, and App Store receipt/transaction identifiers to provide paid features, restore purchases, and prevent fraud.

The current version of the App does not request App Tracking Transparency permission and does not use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA) for advertising or cross-app tracking.

We do not collect precise location data, and the App does not request access to your contacts, calendar, microphone, or Bluetooth.

2. How We Use Information

  • Provide the Service. To upload images, run antique identification, deliver AI assistant responses, and display results.
  • Maintain and improve. To troubleshoot, debug, and improve reliability, performance, and user experience.
  • Security and fraud prevention. To protect the Service, prevent abuse, and enforce our Terms.
  • Support. To respond to inquiries and provide customer support.
  • Purchases. To provide paid features, validate and restore purchases, and prevent fraud.

3. How We Share Information

We share information only as described below:

  • With our backend service. Images and text you submit are transmitted to our servers (including https://antique.coderelay.dev) to provide the identification and chat features.
  • With service providers. We may use vendors to help operate the Service (for example, hosting, storage, and security). They may process information on our behalf and under our instructions.
  • Legal and safety. We may disclose information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect users, and protect our rights and property.
  • With Apple. We may share App Store receipt or transaction information with Apple to validate purchases and manage subscriptions.

We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for third-party advertising purposes.

4. Your Choices & Controls

  • Camera and Photo Library permissions. You can control access in iOS Settings. If you do not grant permission, some features (such as scanning or selecting photos) may not work.
  • Local data. The App stores certain data on your device (such as chat transcripts and saved identification records). You can delete saved records in the App where available, or remove the App to delete local data.
  • Server-side deletion requests. If you would like us to delete certain information associated with your use of the Service (for example, uploaded images or chat content stored on our servers), contact us at [email protected].

5. Data Retention

We keep information only as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

  • On-device. Chat transcripts and saved identification records are stored locally on your device until you delete them in the App (if available) or uninstall the App.
  • On our servers. Images and messages you submit may be retained for the time needed to process your requests and for security, debugging, and service integrity, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
  • Purchases. We may retain limited purchase-related information (such as receipt or transaction identifiers and subscription status) as needed to provide paid features, restore purchases, comply with legal obligations, and prevent fraud.

6. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

7. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

8. International Users

If you use the Service from outside the country where our servers are located, your information may be transferred and processed in those locations. Depending on where you live, you may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, or objection to certain processing. To exercise your rights, contact us at [email protected].

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the “Last updated” date above and, when appropriate, provide additional notice within the App.
