Privacy Policy

MySellingMate is built to respect your privacy. This policy explains what we process, why, and the choices you have.

What we process When you scan an item, the photos you take leave the device so we can identify the object and estimate its resale price. We send only the photos and the item details those two tasks need. How the processing works Your photos do not go straight to the AI providers. They go first to our backend, a Firebase Cloud Function operated by Google, which forwards them to OpenAI and to Perplexity. Google therefore processes your photos and item details on our behalf. That function runs in Google's europe-west1 region, so this part of the processing stays in the European Union. The AI providers OpenAI identifies the item and Perplexity researches the price. They process your photos and item details solely to return that result to the app, and their handling of the data is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We do not use your photos to train our own models. The anonymous identifier Each installation of the app gets an anonymous identifier from Firebase Authentication. Our backend uses it to check that a request really comes from the app and not from somewhere else. It is not an account: the identifier itself carries no personal details, and we do not connect it to your name, your email address or any other contact detail. Firebase Authentication is not a regional service, so that identifier is transferred to the United States. Your photos are not. The image processing itself stays in europe-west1. Where your data lives Your scan history and the photos you keep are stored on your iPhone. We do not host your library on our servers. There is no account to create, and we do not track you across apps or run advertising analytics. Your choices You can delete any scan, or wipe everything at once, from inside the app at any time. Deleting your data also clears the related photos from your device. Because your history lives on your device, removing the app removes your data with it. Contact Questions about privacy?
