AI Antique Identifier

LogicGridApps, operated by Mukesh Thummar, Gujarat, India ("we," "us," "our"), values your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, process, and safeguard the information you provide when using our mobile application, AI Antique Identifier (the "App").

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you consent to the data collection and processing practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

Specifically, you should be aware that:

• Information presented about an antique item (name, origin, era, material, style, provenance) is retrieved via automated AI analysis and may not reflect the exact or true characteristics of the physical item you scanned.
• The App may occasionally misidentify items, provide partial information, or display data for a similar but different item.
• Antique identification involves expert judgment, tactile inspection, and provenance verification — none of which the App is capable of performing remotely.
• Data sourced from the web may contain errors, outdated records, or conflicting historical accounts. We do not independently validate this data.
• When the App cannot confidently identify an item, it may display a general error or incomplete result rather than fabricated information. If your item is common, modern, or the photo is of poor quality, results may be unreliable.

Use the information provided in the App for educational and general reference purposes only. Do not rely on this data for professional, legal, financial, or commercial decisions.

Regarding estimated price information displayed in the App:

• Approximate only: Price ranges are derived from general web data and AI inference, not from real-time auction results, dealer pricing, or expert appraisal databases.
• Actual value may be lower or higher: The real market value of your item may be significantly lower or significantly higher than the estimated range shown. Many factors affect an item's actual value — condition, provenance, rarity, current market demand, region, and buyer/seller dynamics — none of which the App can fully assess.
• Not a professional appraisal: The App is not a licensed appraiser. Price estimates should never be used as the basis for buying, selling, insuring, estate planning, or tax purposes.
• Market fluctuation: Antique values can fluctuate significantly over time. Prices shown are based on data available at the time of analysis and may be outdated.
• No financial liability: LogicGridApps accepts no liability for any financial loss or gain resulting from actions taken based on the estimated prices shown in the App.

Always consult a certified antique appraiser or specialist dealer before making any financial decisions about your antique items.

We believe in data minimization. The App is designed to allow you to scan and identify antiques without creating an account or providing personal details.

Personal Data

We do NOT collect any directly identifying personal details (such as your name, email address, physical address, phone number, or contact list).

Non-Personal & Technical Data

We collect certain technical data automatically to support app stability, performance, and ads monetization:

• Device Information: Device model, OS version, language settings, screen density, network state, and CPU architecture.
• Application Diagnostics: Crash logs, performance metrics, load times, and error indicators (via Firebase Crashlytics).
• Mobile Advertising ID (AD_ID): The Google Advertising ID for showing personalized advertisements via Google AdMob, subject to your device settings and consent. This identifier may also be shared with Meta Audience Network (Facebook) for ad mediation purposes.
• App Usage Events: Anonymized interaction events (screens visited, features used) via Firebase Analytics. No personally identifiable information is attached to these events.

The core feature of the App is identifying vintage items from photographs. To do this, the App requests permission to access your device's Camera and/or local Storage.

Images you scan are not linked to your identity, are not retained beyond the session analysis period, and are not shared with any party other than the visual analysis pipeline described above.

The App is free to use and is supported by advertising revenue through Google AdMob. To serve ads, AdMob may collect and use the following data on your device:

Data Collected by Google AdMob

• Google Advertising ID (GAID / AD_ID): A resettable identifier used to serve relevant, personalized ads. Required by the com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID permission declared in the App manifest.
• Device & Network Information: IP address, device model, OS version, language, and connection type used for ad targeting and fraud detection.
• App Interaction Signals: Which screens or ad placements are viewed, clicked, or completed — used for ad performance measurement.

Types of Ads Shown

• App Open Ads: Shown when the App is first launched or resumed from the background.
• Interstitial Ads: Full-screen ads shown at natural transition points (e.g., after scanning an item).
• Rewarded Video Ads: Optional ads you watch to unlock full AI identification results. You must watch the entire ad to receive the reward.

Opting Out of Personalized Ads

You can reset or delete your Google Advertising ID at any time in Android Settings: Settings → Google → Ads → Reset Advertising ID or Delete Advertising ID. When deleted, only non-personalized ads will be served.

Google's data practices are governed by the Google Privacy Policy and AdMob Publisher Policies.

The App uses Meta Audience Network (formerly Facebook Audience Network) as an ad mediation partner through the Google AdMob mediation SDK. This means Meta may serve advertisements within the App.

Data Collected by Meta Audience Network

• Mobile Advertising Identifiers: Google Advertising ID (GAID) on Android, used to personalize ad delivery.
• Device & Location Signals: Device hardware data, IP-based approximate location, OS version, and network information used for ad targeting.
• App Usage Data: Information about how you interact with ads served by Meta within the App (impressions, clicks, completions).
• Facebook/Instagram User Data (if applicable): If you are logged into a Facebook or Instagram account on your device, Meta may link ad interactions to your Meta account for measurement and attribution purposes, in accordance with Meta's own data policies.

Meta's Data Use Policies

Meta Audience Network operates under Meta Platforms, Inc.'s data policies. Their data collection, use, and sharing practices are governed by:

• Meta Privacy Policy
• Meta Audience Network Publisher Terms
• Meta Audience Network Policy

Opt-Out Options

• Reset or delete your Google Advertising ID in Android Settings.
• Adjust your Facebook ad preferences at: facebook.com/ads/preferences.
• Use the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool at: optout.aboutads.info.

The App integrates the following third-party services that collect and process data in accordance with their respective privacy policies:

Your antique collections, custom category folders, and scan history are saved locally on your device's internal SQLite database (via Room Database).

• No history or collection data is uploaded to our servers.
• If you uninstall the App or clear the App's data in Android System Settings, all your saved collections, items, and scan history will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
• Crash reports sent via Firebase Crashlytics are retained by Google for a limited period for debugging purposes only.

The App is not designed or directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with any data, please contact us at logicgridapps@gmail.com, and we will take necessary steps to ensure any data is cleared.

We are committed to securing your information. Because all personal antique history is stored locally on your device, the security of this data depends on the security settings of your phone.

We recommend protecting your device with a secure PIN, pattern, or biometric lock to prevent unauthorized access to your collections and history.

Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, or Indian Digital Personal Data Protection Act), you have rights regarding your data:

• Right to Delete: You can wipe out all scanned items and collections at any time by deleting individual items in the App, resetting the App storage, or uninstalling the App.
• Right to Opt Out of Ads: You can disable interest-based ads by adjusting your Android Settings (Settings → Google → Ads → Reset/Delete advertising ID).
• Right to Opt Out of Meta Ads: Adjust Facebook ad preferences at facebook.com/ads/preferences.
• Right to Object: You may contact us at logicgridapps@gmail.com to raise concerns about how data is processed.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
