Card Value
Get the app What the app collects
Card Value does not collect your personal data or send your collection to the developer. There is no Card Value account or sign-in, and the app contains no advertising, analytics or tracking tools.
This policy describes the app and how to contact us. Online catalog requests, Apple’s iCloud service and information you choose to email us are explained below.
Your collection and settings
Your cards, binders, lists, alerts and settings are stored on your device. When iCloud is available for the app, collection data syncs through your own private iCloud database. The developer does not receive that collection or have access to your private iCloud data.
You can manage the app’s iCloud access in your device’s Settings. Apple provides iCloud under its own privacy policy.
Camera and photos
The camera is used to read cards after you give permission. Text recognition runs on your device. Scan images are not uploaded to the developer or to a remote image recognition service.
If you choose a photo to scan, the app processes that selected image on your device. Card names, set codes or numbers identified during a scan can be used to request public catalog information, as described below.
Card information and market values
Card Value connects to online services to retrieve card information, card images and available market data.
These requests use public card identifiers or search terms to retrieve the information you need. They do not upload your scan photos, collection lists, purchase records or iCloud data.
Like other internet requests, they expose your IP address and basic request information to the receiving service. Those services may keep technical logs under their own policies. The developer does not collect your app data; online services still receive the network information needed to respond to these requests.
Price alerts and exports
Price alerts use local notifications on your device. Permission is optional and can be changed in iOS Settings. No developer-operated push service receives your alerts.
CSV and PDF exports, backups and shared images are created when you request them. You choose where to save or share those files; the app does not automatically send them to the developer.
Deleting your data
Delete cards or lists inside the app to remove them from the collection. When sync is available, deletions also sync to your other devices through iCloud.
Deleting the app removes its local app data. Data already stored in iCloud or exported elsewhere may remain; manage it separately in iCloud Settings or wherever you saved the export. Apple explains how to manage iCloud storage.
Children’s privacy
The app does not collect personal data from users, including children, and does not use advertising or behavioral tracking.
Support correspondence
If you choose to email support@tcgpricescanner.com, we receive your email address, message and any attachments you send. This information is used to respond to your request. Emailing support is optional and separate from using the app.
Changes to this policy
If the app’s privacy practices change, this page will be updated with a new date.
