This GitHub Pages policy is designed to replace the older Google Sites destination with a clearer, app-specific privacy page.
Current privacy disclosure snapshot
The current App Store privacy label lists identifiers for tracking and advertising, plus photos/videos for app functionality.
Scope and developer
This Privacy Policy applies to Coin Scanner & Coin Detector, published by Muhammad Ahsan Shaaf. It explains how information may be processed when you use AI coin scanning, two-side photo analysis, collector tools, value calculators, metal readings, saved history, subscriptions, advertising, and support.
This policy should be read together with the privacy information shown on the App Store product page.
Current App Store privacy disclosure
The current public App Store privacy label indicates that Identifiers may be used to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies.
It also identifies Device ID as data that may be collected and linked to you for third-party advertising and developer advertising or marketing.
The label identifies User Content — Photos or Videos as data that may be collected for app functionality and not linked to your identity.
Coin photos and image analysis
When you use the AI Coin Scanner, you may capture or choose photos of the front and back of a coin. Those images are processed to provide identification results and related collector information.
Selected images may be sent to service providers acting on behalf of the App where remote AI processing is needed. The intended purpose is to provide the requested identification and analysis.
Only submit images you are authorized to use. Avoid including unrelated people, personal documents, or sensitive information in photos.
Device identifiers
Device identifiers may be processed for advertising, marketing measurement, consent management, fraud prevention, frequency controls, technical operations, and related purposes. The current App Store privacy label identifies Device ID as linked to you for third-party advertising and developer advertising/marketing.
Advertising and tracking
The App contains advertising and may use third-party advertising technology such as Google AdMob. Advertising providers may process identifiers, ad interaction data, consent signals, approximate technical information, and related data subject to platform permissions and applicable law.
Where Apple’s AppTrackingTransparency framework applies, tracking-related processing should follow the choice you make. You can change relevant privacy permissions in iOS Settings.
Google’s privacy information is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Premium subscriptions and StoreKit
Coin Scanner Premium subscriptions and other in-app purchases are processed through Apple’s App Store and StoreKit. We do not receive your complete payment-card information.
We may receive transaction identifiers, entitlement status, product identifiers, renewal state, or similar purchase information needed to unlock Premium features, restore purchases, prevent fraud, and respond to billing-related support requests.
Metal Detector and device sensors
Metal Detector mode uses supported iPhone sensors to display changes in magnetic fields. Magnetometer information is used to provide the requested sensor-based feature.
Magnetic readings are not reliable proof of coin composition, authenticity, grade, rarity, or value.
Saved history and local data
The App may allow you to save coin scans, reports, or collector history on your device. Locally stored information generally remains on your device until you delete it through the App, reset relevant app data, or remove the App, subject to device backup behavior.
Support communications
If you contact us by email or WhatsApp, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, contact details, device model, iOS version, app version, screenshots, purchase details, and the contents of your support message.
Service providers and sharing
We may use service providers for App Store billing, advertising, AI processing, infrastructure, crash or technical services, security, and support. Providers may process information only as necessary to perform those services, subject to their terms, our configuration, and applicable law.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law, legal process, fraud prevention, security, or to protect legal rights and users.
Retention and deletion
We aim to retain information we control only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the App, support users, maintain security, prevent fraud, comply with legal/accounting obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
Third-party providers may retain information according to their own documented retention practices and our service configuration.
You may request deletion of personal information we control by contacting ahsanshaaf@gmail.com. Some records may need to be retained where required by law, security, fraud prevention, accounting, or legitimate dispute resolution.
Your choices and rights
- Camera / Photos: manage permissions in iOS Settings.
- Tracking: manage tracking permission in iOS privacy settings where available.
- Subscriptions: manage or cancel Premium through Apple ID subscription settings.
- Advertising choices: use platform and consent controls where available.
- Access / deletion: contact ahsanshaaf@gmail.com.
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights such as access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability.
Children's privacy
The App is a general utility and collector tool and is not designed as a child-directed service. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.
Security and international processing
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information processed. No online service can guarantee absolute security.
Service providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, appropriate safeguards should be used for cross-border processing.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the App, advertising providers, AI services, subscriptions, legal requirements, or data practices change. The “Last updated” date will be revised when changes are made.
