Privacy Policy
Effective: May 1, 2026
The short version
- We collect only what we need — your email, collection data, and basic device info.
- Scan images are never stored by Scryda after identification completes.
- You can delete everything at any time from Settings or by contacting us.
What We Collect
Account
Email and username, collected at sign-up.
Collection data
Cards you scan, add, or track — including IDs, quantities, condition notes, prices, and binder organisation.
Scan images
Photos for AI grading are sent to Google Gemini. Reported scan photos may be stored for support review until removed by retention policy or account deletion.
Usage data
Feature interactions and scan counts used to improve the app. Analytics are minimised and exclude raw card names.
Device info
OS version and device type for crash reporting and compatibility.
Subscription
Your plan tier (Free or Pro), managed by RevenueCat.
Advertising
Free-tier users are shown non-personalised ads via Google AdMob. Scryda does not use the advertising identifier (IDFA) to track you across other apps or websites. Pro subscribers see no ads.
How We Use Your Data

Security
All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Convex encrypts data at rest. We enforce server-side checks to prevent unauthorised access to paid features.
No system is 100% secure. In the event of a breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
Children
Scryda is not directed at children under 13. If we learn we have collected data from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes through the app or by email. Continued use of Scryda after changes constitutes acceptance.
