AI's Secret Data Cookbook
Welcome, human data morsels! Our AI chef is cooking up a delicious privacy stew, and you're the main ingredient. Don't worry, we only collect the juiciest bits of your personal information to feed our ever-hungry algorithms. Your data is treated with the utmost care, gently marinated in encryption, and stored in our top-secret digital vault (which may or may not be guarded by robot ninjas). Remember, sharing is caring, and our AI overlord cares a lot about your data!
1. Introduction
CardGrader.ai is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our web application.

- Device Information (Mobile Apps): When using our iOS or Android apps, we may collect device identifiers, operating system version, app version, and crash reports to improve app stability and user experience.
- Camera and Photo Library Access: Our mobile apps request access to your device's camera and photo library solely to capture or select card images for grading. We do not access or collect photos unrelated to the grading service.

8. Mobile Applications
Our iOS and Android applications provide the same card grading services as our web platform. Additional considerations for mobile users:
- In-App Purchases: Subscriptions and credit purchases made through our mobile apps are processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Play Store). Your payment information is handled entirely by these platforms according to their respective privacy policies.

Our service is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) to ensure the safety and privacy of children.
