You agree to provide accurate and complete information when creating or using your account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and device. You are also responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

If you believe your account has been accessed without permission, please contact us as soon as possible.

When you delete your account, we will delete or de-identify personal data associated with your account, subject to legal, security, fraud prevention, backup, accounting, dispute resolution, or other legitimate retention requirements.

Some data may remain in backups or logs for a limited period before being securely deleted or de-identified. Deleting your account does not automatically cancel any active App Store subscription. Subscription cancellation must be managed through your Apple ID subscription settings.

5. Card Scanning Feature

Card AI may request access to your device camera so you can scan trading cards or sports cards.

By using the scanning feature, you understand and agree that:

  • Scan results may not always be accurate.
  • Image quality, lighting, angle, card condition, language, finish, set variation, parallel version, grading label, or database limitations may affect recognition results.
  • You are responsible for reviewing and confirming scan results before saving cards to your collection.
  • Scanned images may be processed temporarily to identify cards and provide the Service.
  • We may use aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified technical information to improve scanning performance and app quality.

You may not use the scanning feature to upload unlawful, harmful, infringing, abusive, or unauthorized content.

6. Card Data, Prices, and Value Information

Card AI may display card information, market prices, estimated values, historical data, grading-related information, collection totals, or other reference data.

You understand and agree that:

  • Price and value information is provided for general informational purposes only.
  • Card AI does not provide financial, investment, appraisal, grading, tax, legal, or professional advice.
  • Displayed values do not guarantee that a card can be bought or sold at that price.
  • Actual market prices may vary based on condition, grading, authenticity, demand, platform fees, shipping, taxes, buyer behavior, seller behavior, and other factors.
  • You are responsible for independently verifying any information before buying, selling, grading, trading, insuring, or valuing any card.

We are not responsible for losses, decisions, transactions, missed opportunities, or disputes arising from your reliance on card data, scan results, price estimates, or value information shown in the app.

7. Collection Records

Card AI may allow you to save cards, edit collection details, add purchase prices, set quantities, choose finishes, record grading information, organize cards, and track collection value.
