Privacy Policy
CoinScan ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Personal Information You Provide:
– Photos of coins you choose to scan
– Notes or labels you add to coins in your collection (stored only on your device)
Automatically Collected Information:
– Device information (model, operating system, language, region)
– App usage events (screens viewed, scans performed)
– Purchase and subscription status
– Crash reports and diagnostics
– Mobile advertising identifier (where permitted by the OS)
– Install attribution data
HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
We use the information we collect to:
– Identify coins from the photos you scan
– Process purchases and manage subscriptions
– Analyze usage patterns to improve features
– Monitor app stability and fix issues
– Measure the performance of our advertising campaigns
– Comply with legal obligations
HOW COIN SCANNING WORKS
When you scan a coin, the photo is sent over a secure connection to our backend, which forwards it to Google's Gemini Flash-Lite AI model for identification. The photo is processed in real time and is not stored on our servers or retained by Google for model training. Once the result is returned to your device, the image is discarded from memory. We do not maintain a database of users or coins.
Your coin collection is stored locally on your device only. It is not transmitted to our servers and is removed when you uninstall the app.
THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
We use trusted third-party services to help operate our app:
– Payment Processing: We use RevenueCat to manage in-app purchases and subscriptions. RevenueCat processes transaction data to validate purchases and manage your subscription status.
– Analytics & Crash Reporting: We use Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics to collect anonymous usage data and crash reports. This helps us understand how the app is used and fix issues to improve stability.
– Coin Identification: We use Google's Gemini API to identify coin images. Images are sent to Google for processing in real time and are not stored after delivery.
– Advertising Attribution: We use the Meta App Events SDK and the TikTok Events SDK to measure whether an ad on Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok led to your install, and which key events (such as trial start or subscription) followed. CoinScan does not show ads inside the app.
These services may collect and process data according to their own privacy policies. We only share the minimum data necessary for these services to function.
DATA RETENTION
Coin photos sent for identification are not retained on our servers. Your coin collection is stored locally on your device only and is removed when you uninstall the app. Analytics, crash, and attribution data are retained by our service providers according to their standard retention periods.
DATA SECURITY
We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
YOUR RIGHTS
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
– Access your personal information
– Correct inaccurate data
– Delete your personal information
– Object to or restrict processing
– Data portability
CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Our service is not intended for users under 17 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 17.
CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy in the app and updating the "Last updated" date.
