SnapWorth ("we", "our", or "us") operates the SnapWorth mobile application. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service.
We collect photos you submit for valuation or for a legit check. Photos are sent to our server, processed by an AI model to identify the item and estimate resale value, or to look for the usual signs of a replica, and are not stored after the response is returned.
We collect an anonymous device identifier (UUID) for rate limiting (20 scans per hour) and to limit how many devices can use one subscription. This ID is not linked to your identity, except that if you subscribe it is kept with Apple's record of your purchase, described below.
To tell a reinstall from a genuinely new device — so a free allowance cannot be reset by deleting and reinstalling — we send Apple's DeviceCheck token when your device first verifies itself. Apple stores two bits against the hardware on our behalf; we store the token to read them. It contains no personal information and cannot identify you.
If you subscribe, the app sends our server Apple's signed record of your subscription purchase, and sends it again each time it checks your subscription. We verify Apple's signature and keep the record, together with the device identifier above, for up to 400 days after the app last sends it: so that Pro keeps working between app launches, and so that one subscription can be used on only a limited number of devices. It contains the subscription you bought, its price and currency, its purchase and expiry dates, the App Store country, and Apple's identifiers for the purchase. It does not contain your name, email address, Apple ID or payment details. Apple may also tell our server when a subscription renews, lapses or is refunded, and we may ask Apple for a subscription's current status to answer a support request.
Once Invite a friend is available in the app, our server makes and keeps an invite code for your device, whether or not you open it, and, when someone claims an invite, a record linking the two devices: their identifiers, the code, when it was claimed, and the Apple offer codes handed out. These are kept for up to 400 days, so that each invite is rewarded once and rewards stay within the yearly limit.
If you turn on Share sale prices to improve estimates (Settings → Privacy; it is off by default), the app sends our server a record for each flip you mark as sold: the estimate SnapWorth gave when you scanned it, with its confidence, the item's category and condition, and whether a brand was identified; the price it sold for and its currency; the scan and sale dates; the App Store country; and the app version. It never sends the photo, the item's name, your notes, the price you paid, or your device identifier. Each record carries a random identifier made for that sale and a random token made for your install, used only to delete your records; we keep a keyed hash of the token, not the token. Records are kept for up to 400 days. Un-marking a sale, or deleting the item or your scan history from the app, deletes its record, even after you turn sharing off. Delete my shared sales in Settings deletes every record your install sent and turns sharing off.
We collect anonymous usage analytics to understand how the app is used and improve it. Using TelemetryDeck, we record in-app events — such as opening the app, starting a scan, viewing the paywall, and completing a purchase — along with your device model, operating system version, app version, locale, time zone, screen size, and device orientation. The analytics SDK also reports how your accessibility settings are configured — such as Reduce Motion, Bold Text, Increase Contrast and your preferred text size — and counts of how often and on how many separate days you have opened the app. A one-way salted hash is used as an anonymous identifier. This data contains no photos, item names, prices, or advertising identifiers (IDFA), is not linked to your identity, and is never used to track you across other apps or websites. You can turn analytics off at any time in the app's Settings.
Photos are used only to generate the valuation or legit check you requested. Analytics data is used only in aggregate to understand usage and improve the app. Shared sale records are used only to measure how far our estimates are from real sale prices, and to improve them. We do not sell, rent, or share your photos, device identifier, or analytics data with third parties, except for the service providers below and as required by law.
Google (Gemini API). Photos you submit are transmitted to Google's Gemini API, which identifies the item and estimates its resale value, or reads a legit check's close-ups. Google processes them under its API terms of service and does not use them to train its models. Photos are not retained by us after the response is returned.
Apple (DeviceCheck). Receives the device token described above, and stores two bits against your hardware so a reinstall does not reset the free allowance.
TypeSafe (Jev). May receive text about an item to answer a yes/no check on it: when you ask for a listing draft, the draft's title and description with the item name, brand, category and condition it was written from, to check that it does not claim the item is authentic or in better condition than the scan shows; and the brand and model the AI identified with the titles of sold listings found for it, to check that they are the same product. Never the photo, and never your device identifier, name, email address or location.
TelemetryDeck. Receives the anonymous usage events described above. It never receives photos, item names, prices, or identifiers.
Telegram. To monitor the service, operational information may be relayed to the operator through Telegram: the name of an item the AI identified and its estimated price range; and, so that a support request can be answered, a one-way salted hash of your device's attestation key together with that device's scan count, first and last activity dates, and subscription state. The hash is not the device identifier itself and cannot be reversed to it, and it is not an advertising identifier. This operational record is kept for up to 400 days after the device last uses the service or, for a subscription, after the app or Apple last tells us about it. Never the photo, and never your name, email address or location.
Photos are not stored after the response is returned. Your scan history is stored on your device and can be deleted at any time from the app's Settings.
From each scan our server keeps the following, without the photo and without your device identifier: daily counts of scans, categories and brands, and a short list of each day's highest-value scans — the item name the AI gave, its brand, category and estimated price range, and whether it was made on the free or Pro plan. These are kept for 35 days after the day of the scan. The operator can see them, and uses the week's highest-value scans, through Google's Gemini API, to draft ideas for SnapWorth's social-media posts — so a post may mention an item someone scanned, never who scanned it. Beside each category, brand and highest-value scan we also keep a short tag for each device that scanned it: a keyed hash of your device's attestation key, which is neither the device identifier itself nor the hash described under Telegram. It is kept as long as the entry, and used only to count how many different devices stand behind an entry before the app shows it to anyone.
In the app, everyone can see this week's most-scanned categories and brands, each shown only once at least five scans back it. Pro subscribers also see the week's highest-value finds, shown as brand, category and estimated price range only — never the item name, the photo, or who scanned it. A find is a single scan, so one of yours may appear there.
The operational record described under Telegram, the subscription record and referral records are kept for up to 400 days after they were last updated, as described above. Messages relayed through Telegram stay in the operator's chat until the operator deletes them.
SnapWorth is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes are effective when posted on this page.
