Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how AntiqLab：Antique ID & Value (“the App”, “we”, “our”, “us”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the App.
By downloading or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Images You Upload

When you use the App to scan or identify an item, we collect and process the image you provide.
Images are used only for the purpose of generating AI-based identification, historical information, valuation estimates, and visual matches.

We do not claim ownership of your images.

1.2 Analytical Data

We may collect anonymized information to improve performance and user experience, such as:

  • App usage patterns
  • Feature interactions
  • Scan success rates
  • Crash logs and diagnostics
  • Device model, operating system, and non-identifiable technical information

This data does not personally identify you.

1.3 Optional User Feedback

If you choose to submit feedback, comments, or improvement suggestions, we may collect the text you provide.

1.4 No Account Required

The App does not require users to create an account to access core features.
We do not collect personal identifiers such as:

  • Name
  • Email
  • Phone number
  • Address

unless voluntarily submitted.

2. How We Use Your Information

We may use collected data for the following purposes:

  • To analyze images and generate identification results
  • To provide historical context, value estimates, and visual matches
  • To improve AI models, accuracy, and app performance
  • To fix bugs, enhance stability, and optimize overall experience
  • To develop new features or improve existing ones
  • To protect against misuse or security risks

Images may be temporarily stored for processing but are not used to personally identify any user.

3. How AI Processing Works

The App uses machine learning models to analyze uploaded images.
During this process, your image may be transmitted securely to servers that perform:

  • Object recognition
  • Style and material analysis
  • Historical pattern matching
  • Market comparison modeling
  • Visual similarity search

We do not use your images to build a personal profile or identify you.

4. Data Retention and Deletion

4.1 Image Retention

Uploaded images may be temporarily cached for processing and performance optimization.
They are not stored long-term unless explicitly needed for:

  • Improving AI model quality
  • System analytics using anonymized data

You may delete images from your device at any time.
If future versions of the App support user accounts, additional deletion options will be provided.

4.2 Anonymized Data

Usage statistics and technical data may be retained in aggregated, non-identifiable form for product development and analytical purposes.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data.

We may share anonymized or aggregated data with:

  • AI model providers
  • Analytics tools
  • Service providers involved in app performance
    only to support App functionality and improvement.

We do not share your images with advertisers or third parties unrelated to core App operations.

6. Third-Party Services

The App may use third-party tools such as:

  • Analytics services (e.g., app performance tools)
  • AI model providers
  • Cloud infrastructure providers

These services may collect non-identifiable technical information according to their own privacy policies.
No third-party service receives personally identifiable information from us.

7. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data:

  • Encrypted transmission
  • Secure servers
  • Access control and monitoring

No system is completely secure, but we continually work to improve protection.

8. Children’s Privacy

The App is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age of digital consent in your region).
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If we become aware of unintended data collection, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

9. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your region, you may have certain rights regarding your data, such as:

  • The right to access non-identifiable information we store
  • The right to request deletion of collected data
  • The right to restrict processing of certain information
  • The right to withdraw consent

Because the App does not collect identifiable personal data, most rights apply only to anonymized usage information.

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect improvements or changes in our practices.
By continuing to use the App after updates, you agree to the revised Policy.
