Scanventory Privacy Policy
Plain language first: your inventory stays on your phone. This page names the few moments data leaves it, and what happens then.
Starter document. This page is plain-language starter language, published so the app has a policy in place from day one. It has not yet been reviewed by an attorney and will be updated once that review happens.
The short version
Scanventory is a home and collection inventory app. Your inventory lives on your device — we have no account system and no server copy of it. We never sell personal information, run ads, or track you across apps. Two optional features send limited data out — barcode/card lookups and photo identification — and both are named plainly below.
What is stored on your device
Items, rooms, collections, values, and photos you attach are stored only in the app's storage on your phone. If you delete the app, that data is deleted with it, so keep your own backup of anything you can't replace (the app can export reports as CSV files on paid plans).
Barcode lookups
When you scan a barcode, the app sends that barcode number — and nothing else — to Open Food Facts, Open Beauty Facts, Open Products Facts, and UPCitemdb to identify the product. No name, account, or device identity is sent with it.
Card lookups
When you search for a trading card, the app sends your search terms to TCGdex (api.tcgdex.net) and displays the results, including market prices TCGdex sources from TCGplayer and Cardmarket. Reading the text on a card by photo (OCR) runs entirely on your device using Google ML Kit; those photos are not transmitted.
Photo identification (optional)
If you choose “Identify with AI,” the photo you select is resized and sent over an encrypted connection to our identification service, which uses an AI vision model to suggest what the item is. The suggestion is shown to you for confirmation; nothing is saved unless you confirm it.
Our service holds the photo in memory only long enough to produce the suggestion and then discards it — we do not store or log photos sent for identification, and they are never sold.
Purchases and subscriptions
Paid plans are sold through the App Store or Google Play and processed by our purchase provider, RevenueCat. RevenueCat receives your purchase record and an anonymous app user ID generated by the app (not your name or email) so your subscription stays active across reinstalls, and may collect device information needed to prevent fraud. Your payment details go to Apple or Google only — we never see your card number. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in your store account settings.
What we never do
No advertising. No sale or rental of personal information. No cross-app or cross-site tracking. No analytics profiles built about you.
Children
Scanventory is a general-purpose inventory tool and does not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles data — for example, by adding a feature that sends data somewhere new — we will update this page with a new effective date before that change ships.
