1. Introduction
RetroKeeper (“we”, “our”, “the App”) is a video game collection management tool. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
2. What We Do Not Do
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising or cross-app tracking. Camera images are processed on-device and are not stored or transmitted to our servers.

We collect only the data necessary to provide the App’s functionality:
- Account information — email address and display name, used for authentication and syncing.
- Collection data — game titles, conditions, completeness, purchase prices, and personal notes you enter.
- Camera input — used for barcode scanning and AI-powered game recognition. Raw images are processed on-device only; only the derived game identifier is sent to our servers.
- Usage data — anonymous interaction data (features used, screens viewed) to improve the App. This data is not linked to your identity.
- Diagnostics — crash logs and performance data to fix bugs and improve stability. This data is not linked to your identity.

6. Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored securely using industry-standard cloud infrastructure provided by Firebase and Apple iCloud. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We apply reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorised access.
7. Data Retention & Deletion
Your collection data is retained for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from the App’s settings. Upon account deletion, all personal data is permanently removed within 30 days.
