Privacy Policy — Comic Book Value Scanner Gradr

Effective date: 10/24/2025 Comic Book Value Scanner Gradr (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains how we handle your information.

1) What we collect

Your scanned comics, photos, grades, notes, and preferences are stored locally on your device. The app requests camera permission to scan barcodes and covers, optional Photo Library permission to save or import images, and optional notification permission for reminders you enable. No account is required and we do not ask for your name, email, or other personal identifiers.

2) How we use your data

Core features such as identification, collection management, the grading assistant, and history run on your device. We use an AI service (OpenAI GPT-5 mini) only for information retrieval related to comics, for example to parse titles or summarize public metadata. We send minimal, text-only prompts for this purpose. We do not send your photos, personal information, or full collection data to OpenAI.

3) Data sharing and selling

We do not sell your data. We do not share your data with marketers or unrelated third parties. OpenAI acts solely as a processor for the limited text prompts described above.

4) Data retention

Because your collection data lives on your device, you control retention. Deleting the app removes the local data. If you use device backups such as iCloud, Apple may store encrypted copies according to your system settings.

5) Security

Local data is protected by your device’s passcode and biometrics. AI requests are transmitted over HTTPS, and we avoid including personal data in those requests.

6) Your choices and controls

You can deny camera, photo, or notification permissions, though certain features may not function without them. You can delete individual items or all local data at any time. You can also disable AI lookups in Settings to use the app offline only.

7) Children’s privacy

Gradr is not directed to children under 13, or the relevant age of consent in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8) International use

Text prompts may be processed by OpenAI on servers outside your country. By using the app you consent to this limited processing for the purposes described in this policy.

9) Changes to this policy

When we make material changes, we will update the effective date and, when appropriate, display an in-app notice before the changes take effect.
