StoXcar Diecast Garage ("the app") helps NASCAR diecast collectors identify their cars and estimate their value. This page explains what the app collects and why. Questions: support@stoxcargarage.com.

Photos you scan

• When you take or pick a photo, it is sent to our server and on to Google's Gemini AI service to identify the diecast. We do not keep scan photos on our server, unless you save the car to your Garage (see below).
• If "Save a copy to my gallery" is on, a copy of your photo is saved in a "Diecast Garage" album on your phone. It stays on your phone.

Prices

• To estimate a value, the car's details (such as year, driver, number and sponsor) are used to search eBay listings, through eBay's services and through OpenWeb Ninja, a third-party data service. No information about you is sent with these searches.

Your account and Garage (only if you sign in)

• Signing in is optional and uses Google. We receive your Google account ID, name and email address.
• Cars you save to your Garage (car details, photos, price estimates and their history, price paid, date acquired and notes) are stored on our server under your account, so you can see them on any phone.
• You can delete your account and your entire Garage at any time - see Delete your account.

Share my diecast (optional - only if you say yes)

• After you sign in, the app asks whether you want to "Share my diecast". Nothing is shared unless you say yes - either then, or later by turning on the switch when adding a car, or in the app's Settings. You can turn it off any time in Settings; cars already shared stay in the shared data (they are not linked to you, so we can't find them).
• While it is on, a copy is saved each time you add a car to your Garage. When you turn it on, the app asks whether to also share the cars already in your Garage, or only new ones - older cars are shared only if you choose that.
• If you do, we save a separate copy of: the car's details (year, driver, number, sponsor, series, scale, line, finish, brand, release), in package or loose, condition, autographed and who signed it, its DIN number and edition size (Elite cars) and whether it is a special number, the price you paid, the date you got it, the price estimate shown at the time (and when it was checked), and the date and time it was shared.
• This copy does not include your account, name, email, photos or notes, and it is not linked to your account or your Garage.
• StoXcar Renaissance uses this data to build collector price information (for example, what collectors typically pay for a car) and may show it in the app as totals or averages - never as one person's purchase, except as below.
• Notable sales: if the DIN is a special number - a "door number" (matching the car number), 0001, the last of the run, or the car's year - that car's price paid and month may be shown in the app individually as a notable sale, without your name or account. Because a special number is unique to one car, someone who later sees that same car (for example, for sale online) could tell what was paid for it.

Barcodes, corrections and abuse prevention

• Price check results. We keep the result of each price check (the car's details and the low / typical / high prices found) to track how values change over time. This does not include who ran the check, your app ID, network address or anything you paid.
• Barcodes you confirm. When you scan a barcode and confirm the car, we save the barcode with the car's details, so future scans of that barcode are faster and more accurate for everyone.
• Scan reviews. When you confirm a car's details, we save what our AI identified next to what you confirmed, to measure and improve accuracy.
• An anonymous app ID and a scrambled network address. The app creates a random ID on your phone, sent with requests to our server. With barcode confirmations and scan reviews we also save a one-way scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address - never the address itself. These are used only to prevent abuse of the shared barcode database (limiting submissions, detecting and removing false information). They are not used for advertising or tracking, and uninstalling the app deletes the app ID from your phone.

What the app does NOT collect

Precise location, contacts, advertising IDs, or hardware device identifiers. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

Services we use

• Google Gemini - photo identification (terms)
• Google Sign-In - optional account sign-in (Google privacy policy)
• eBay - listing data (eBay privacy notice)
• OpenWeb Ninja - sold-listing data (openwebninja.com)
• Cloudflare - hosts our server and database (Cloudflare privacy policy)

Keeping and deleting data

• Your account and Garage are kept until you delete them. Deleting your account removes your account, sign-in sessions and every car in your Garage.
• Shared price data (only if you turned on "Share my diecast") is not linked to you, so it stays when you delete your account, and we can't find which entries were yours.
• Barcode confirmations and scan reviews are kept while they are useful for identification and abuse prevention. To ask us to delete data from your phone or account, email support@stoxcargarage.com.
• All data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS).

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13.
