Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 12, 2026

JewelSnap (“the App”) is published by Valeriy Loveiko. This policy explains what data is processed when you identify jewelry, use Expert Chat, manage a collection, or purchase a subscription.

Data you provide

When you start a scan, the photos you capture or explicitly select are sent over HTTPS for AI analysis. Prompts may include your optional reanalysis note. Expert Chat sends the text you enter and relevant generated jewelry details. Do not include people, documents, addresses, account details, or other unnecessary personal information in photos or messages.

AI processing and international transfers

The App automatically chooses an AI route based on app language, device region, and App Store storefront, or a developer-only test setting:

This means AI data may be processed outside your country, including outside mainland China. Our proxies authenticate and forward requests and do not intentionally persist photos or chat history. AI providers may temporarily process or retain request data under their own service terms, security, abuse prevention, and legal obligations. We do not claim that processing is entirely domestic or that providers never retain data.

On-device data

Saved photos, scan results, collection entries, and chat history are stored locally on your device. They remain until you delete them in the App or remove the App. They may be included in an iCloud device backup if you enable that Apple feature. Historical AI-generated content is not translated or reprocessed automatically.

Subscriptions

Payments are processed by Apple. The App uses RevenueCat to retrieve product offerings and maintain subscription entitlement status. RevenueCat may process a pseudonymous app user identifier, product and transaction information, storefront, app/device technical data, and request diagnostics. JewelSnap does not receive your full payment-card details.

Operational logs

The App and proxies may record limited technical events such as operation, selected backend, locale/storefront signal, latency, status, fallback reason, request ID, and aggregate token usage. We do not intentionally log photos, base64 image data, full prompts, chat history, or provider credentials.

Permissions

Camera access is used to take jewelry photos. Photo-library access is used only for items you select. You can change these permissions in iOS Settings. The App does not request contacts or precise location.

Use, sharing, and retention

Data is used to provide identification, visible-identifier review, authenticity guidance, value estimates, chat, subscriptions, security, and service reliability. We do not sell personal information or use jewelry photos for advertising. Data is shared only with the processors described above, Apple, and service providers required for operation, or when legally required. Retention by external processors is governed by their applicable terms and configuration.

Your choices

You can delete scans and chat in the App, reset local data from the available settings, revoke camera/photo permission, manage subscriptions through Apple, or uninstall the App. Contact us for privacy questions. We may need limited technical details to investigate a request, and we cannot delete data that only exists on your device.

Children

The App is not directed to children under 13 or the minimum digital-consent age in their jurisdiction. Do not submit a child’s personal information.

Important limitation

AI identification, authenticity guidance, and price estimates are informational and are not certificates or professional appraisals. For costly sales, purchases, insurance, or legal decisions, consult a qualified gemologist or appraiser in person.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy when providers or features change. The effective date above identifies the current version.
