Privacy Policy
This policy explains what CollectVault collects, why, and your choices. We aim to collect only what we need to run the Service.
Information we collect
Account info — your email, name, and avatar, via our authentication provider (Clerk). Collection data — the comics, cards, copies, grades, purchases, sales, wishlist, photos, and notes you enter. Billing info — your plan and subscription status; card details are collected and stored by Stripe, not by us. Usage & device data — basic logs and diagnostics needed to operate and secure the Service.
How we use it
To provide the Service — store and display your collection, compute valuations and analytics, run alerts and hunts, process subscriptions, provide support, and keep the Service secure. We do not sell your personal information.
Who we share it with
Service providers that process data on our behalf: Clerk (authentication), Stripe (payments), Vercel (hosting, database, file storage), and the catalog, marketplace, and AI providers used for search, covers, valuations, listings, and photo scanning. Photos you choose to scan are sent to our AI provider for identification. We may disclose information if required by law.
Your rights & choices
You can view and edit your data in the app, export your full collection as CSV at any time, and delete your account (Settings → Account), which removes your personal data from the Service. Depending on where you live, you may have rights under the GDPR or CCPA/CPRA (access, correction, deletion, portability) — contact us to exercise them.
Retention & security
We keep your data while your account is active and delete or anonymize it after account deletion, except where we must retain records (e.g. payment/tax records). We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, though no system is perfectly secure.
