Sports Card Scanner - CardValo
Effective Date: September 3, 2026
Thank you for using Sports Card Scanner - CardValo ("Application"). This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, processed, and protected when you use the Application.
By using the Application, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
The Application and its third-party service providers may automatically collect certain information when you install and use it, including:
Your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address
Device type and operating system
App usage statistics
Screens or features accessed within the Application
Date and time of your sessions
Duration of your activity within the Application
Advertising identifiers, where applicable
Diagnostic information used to improve performance and reliability
This information is collected to operate, improve, secure, and maintain the quality, stability, and functionality of the Application.
The Application allows users to:
Photograph the front and, optionally, the back of a physical sports trading card
Identify the player or subject, manufacturer, set, year, card number, parallel, serial number, and available grading details
Receive a confidence score, visible condition observations, and an estimated value range

The Application uses Google's ML Kit Document Scanner, which operates through Google Play services, to assist with card capture, framing, edge detection, perspective correction, and cropping. The Application itself does not request or hold direct camera permission.
The cropped front image and any optional back image are transmitted to Google's Gemini model through Firebase AI Logic. These images are processed to identify the card, describe its visible condition, and estimate its value. Processing by Google is subject to Google's applicable privacy terms and policies.
Scan history and any cards, folders, favourites, or related collection information saved by the user are stored locally on the user's device. The Service Provider does not claim ownership of card images processed through or stored by the Application.
Users should ensure that photographs contain only the trading card and do not include personal, confidential, or sensitive information in the background.
The Application may request the following permission:
Internet access is required to:
Send card images for identification and analysis
Retrieve card information
Estimate market values
Load curated online content
Open sold-listing searches in the user's web browser
Deliver advertising, where applicable
Provide analytics and diagnostics

Collected and processed information may be used to:

Card images are processed to provide the requested scanning and identification results. The Service Provider does not use card images to claim ownership of users' cards or photographs.
The Application may use trusted third-party services that process information according to their own privacy policies and terms. These services may include:
Google Play Services
Google ML Kit Document Scanner
Firebase AI Logic and Google Gemini
Google AdMob
Google Analytics for Firebase
Firebase Crashlytics
Depending on the service and the user's settings or choices, these providers may process information such as IP addresses, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, usage information, diagnostics, and card images. The Application does not control how an external website opened in the user's browser collects or processes information.
Information may be disclosed only when necessary:
To provide the Application's scanning, identification, valuation, advertising, analytics, and diagnostic functions
To comply with legal obligations
To protect the rights, safety, or security of users or the Service Provider
To investigate fraud or misuse
To respond to lawful governmental requests
To trusted service providers who process data on behalf of the Service Provider under applicable contractual or confidentiality obligations
The Service Provider does not sell users' locally stored card collections or scan histories.
The Application strives to provide useful card identification, visible condition observations, estimated pricing, and collection-management features.
However, card identification results, confidence scores, condition observations, grading details, market values, price ranges, sold-listing search results, and related information are provided for informational purposes only. They are not guaranteed to be complete, accurate, or up to date.
The Application does not provide professional card grading, appraisal, investment, or financial advice. Trading-card prices can change frequently and may vary based on authenticity, condition, grading company, market demand, location, and other factors. Users should independently verify a card and its value before buying, selling, insuring, or making other financial decisions.
Cards, folders, favourites, scan history, and related collection information stored locally remain on the user's device until the user deletes them, clears the Application's data, or uninstalls the Application.
Information processed by third-party services may be retained according to those providers' applicable privacy policies and retention practices. The Service Provider retains information under its control only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, maintain, and improve the Application or to comply with legal obligations.
Because locally stored information remains on the user's device, the Service Provider may not have access to it and may be unable to delete it remotely. Users can remove local information through the Application's available deletion controls, by clearing the Application's storage in Android settings, or by uninstalling the Application.
If you have a privacy or deletion request concerning information controlled by the Service Provider, please contact:
Email: shrjeelaamer@gmail.com
Requests will be processed within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law.
You may:
Choose whether to scan the optional back of a card
Delete saved cards, folders, favourites, or scan-history entries using available Application controls
Control certain advertising or privacy preferences through available consent options and device settings, where applicable
Stop all future information collection by uninstalling the Application using the standard uninstall process available on your device or through the application marketplace
The Application is not intended for children under the age of 13.
The Service Provider does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. If it becomes aware that such information has been collected, it will take reasonable steps to delete it promptly.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the Application, please contact:
Email: shrjeelaamer@gmail.com
Reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards are implemented to protect information under the Service Provider's control against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Information stored locally is also affected by the security of the user's device. Users should protect their devices with appropriate security measures and keep their operating systems and Google Play services updated.
While reasonable efforts are made to protect information, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet is completely secure.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time.
Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised Effective Date.
Your continued use of the Application after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
