PriceSnap Privacy Policy
Last updated: 23 September 2026
1. Scope
PriceSnap is an Android app that uses photographs to provide AI-assisted resale-price estimates. This policy explains what PriceSnap collects, why it is used, where it is processed, and how you can request deletion.
2. Information we process
Depending on the features you use, PriceSnap may process:
- Photos you capture or select for an appraisal.
- Appraisal results, item descriptions, prices, condition information, timestamps, and cached thumbnails saved in the app’s local storage.
- Account information when you sign in: email address, Firebase user identifier, display name, authentication provider, and account status. Guest sign-in creates an anonymous Firebase account.
- Information needed to provide, secure, and troubleshoot the service, such as request metadata and diagnostic or crash information from the app and its service providers.
PriceSnap does not operate its own advertising or analytics system and does not sell personal information.
3. How we use information
We use information to authenticate you and maintain your account; analyse submitted images and return an appraisal; save and display your local scan history; provide support, maintain security, and diagnose errors; and comply with legal obligations.
PriceSnap does not use submitted photos for its own advertising, profiling, or model training.
4. Service providers and overseas processing
Photos and appraisal requests are sent over HTTPS to the PriceSnap API, hosted by Vercel, which sends the image to Google Gemini for analysis. Authentication is provided by Firebase Authentication. These providers may process information in New Zealand, the United States, or other countries where they or their service providers operate. Their handling of information is governed by their own privacy terms.
Do not submit sensitive, confidential, or identifying images unless you are comfortable with this processing.
5. Local storage
Scan history and cached thumbnails are stored locally on your device until you delete them, clear PriceSnap storage, or uninstall the app. Android backup is disabled for PriceSnap. Local app data is protected by Android and your device; PriceSnap does not separately encrypt the Room database.
6. Retention and deletion
PriceSnap does not intentionally maintain a permanent server-side image library. The API processes an image to fulfil the appraisal request. Vercel, Google, Firebase, or other providers may retain operational records or submitted content under their applicable terms, and PriceSnap may not be able to retrieve or delete provider-controlled copies.
To remove local history, use Settings → Delete scan history. To remove all local app data, clear PriceSnap storage in Android settings or uninstall the app. To delete a PriceSnap account, use the account deletion control in the app or contact us at the address below. Account deletion does not automatically delete information retained independently by Google, Firebase, Vercel, or other providers.
7. Security
PriceSnap uses HTTPS for data in transit and restricts scan history to private app storage. No electronic service is completely secure. The app’s development configuration may enable diagnostic HTTP logging; users should use a production build and should never submit sensitive content to a development build.
8. Children
PriceSnap is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us so we can take reasonable steps to delete it.
9. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information controlled by PriceSnap. You may also withdraw use of optional account features by signing out or deleting your account. We may be unable to identify anonymous provider logs or delete copies controlled independently by a service provider.
10. Changes
We may update this policy when the app, providers, or data practices change. The revised policy will show a new “Last updated” date and will be made available in the app or repository where reasonably practicable.
