What data does Jewelry Identifier collect?

We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, or precise location. The app uses Google Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to collect pseudonymous usage and crash data, which is not linked to your identity and is never used for advertising or cross-app tracking. A randomly generated device identifier counts your free identifications, and images are processed through third-party AI services for jewelry identification.

How is my privacy protected when using the app?

We do not store user prompts or personal information, and we do not sell or share your information. Your images are processed securely through third-party AI services. Analytics and crash data are pseudonymous and are not used for advertising — we do not collect the Advertising Identifier (IDFA) and ad personalization is disabled.

Privacy Policy | The Jewelry Appraisal

Thank you for using Jewelry Identifier andThe Jewelry Appraisal (thejewelryappraisal.app), developed by the LatteCodelabs team. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and disclose information when you access our iOS app, this website, and their related services.

Information We Collect

User-Provided Information: We do not collect your name, email address, contacts, precise location, or the contents of your identifications for our own use. We do collect pseudonymous usage and diagnostic data, described under Analytics and Crash Reporting below.

Device Identifier: To count the identifications included with the free tier, the app generates a random identifier the first time it launches and stores it on your device. It is not derived from your hardware, is not linked to your name or an account, and is used for nothing but the free-scan count.

Data Retention

We do not store user prompts or personal information. Analytics and crash data are held by Google and deleted automatically once the applicable retention period expires. General usage data may be retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy.

Analytics and Crash Reporting

We use Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics to understand how the app is used and to diagnose crashes. These services collect a pseudonymous app-instance identifier, the Identifier for Vendors (IDFV), device model, operating system version, country, the names of in-app actions you take (for example, starting a scan or opening the subscription screen), and crash diagnostics.

This information is not linked to your name, email address, or any account, and it isnot used for advertising or to track you across other companies' apps or websites. We do not collect the Advertising Identifier (IDFA), and ad personalization is disabled. See Google's privacy policy for how Google handles this data.

Website Analytics and Cookies

This website uses Google Analytics 4, which sets first-party cookies to measure page views and referrers, and Ahrefs Web Analytics, which is cookieless. Standard web server logs (such as browser type and country) may also be recorded. We use this only to understand which guides are useful and to improve the site. This site does not run advertising and does not sell audience data.

Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties.

Jewelry Identification Disclaimer

While we aim to provide accurate identification results, the app's jewelry identification feature is not guaranteed to be fully accurate, and the guides published on this website are educational reference material. You should not rely solely on either to determine the authenticity, materials, or value of any piece. A formal appraisal for insurance or sale should be performed in person by a certified gemologist or licensed appraiser.

Use of Third-Party AI Services

Our jewelry identification feature is powered by a third-party AI service provider, such as OpenAI or other similar providers. When you upload images or submit related queries, this data is processed through these external AI services. Please review the privacy policy of the respective provider to understand how your data is handled.

In-App Purchases

We use Apple's StoreKit framework to manage in-app purchases. Your purchase data is processed through Apple's secure payment system in accordance with Apple's privacy policies and terms of service.

Sharing Usage Data with Apple

By using our app and making in-app purchases, you agree that we may share your usage and content consumption data with Apple for the purpose of handling refund requests. This includes how you accessed or interacted with purchased features. This data is shared strictly in accordance with Apple's policies and only as necessary to support refund decisions.

Security

We take appropriate and reasonable security measures to protect any data we collect.

Service Limitations

We reserve the right to limit the number of identifications available to free users and may change or discontinue any part of the service at our discretion.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes within the app or on this website.
