Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 24, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how The Daily Rip ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use The Daily Rip mobile application and the website thedailyrip.app (together, the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to this Policy.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide

• Account information. Email address and password when you create an account, plus the handle, display name, avatar, and bio you choose for your profile.
• Collection data. Cards you mark as owned or watched, portfolio holdings you add (including optional cost basis, quantity, grade, and acquisition date), and set-completion progress.
• Photos. Card photos you choose to upload, and images you submit through the card scanner. Scanner images are processed to identify the card and are not used to identify people.
• Content you post. Messages, chat posts, reactions, and reports you submit in community features.
• Support communications. Emails you send us.

Information collected automatically

• Usage and device data. App version, device model, operating-system version, language, and coarse usage events (for example, that a scan was performed, used to enforce daily limits).
• Crash and diagnostics data. Crash reports and performance diagnostics so we can fix problems.
• Push tokens. If you enable notifications, the device push token needed to deliver them.

Information we do not collect

• No precise location.
• No contacts and no address-book upload.
• No advertising identifiers, and we do not show third-party ads.
• Payment card details are never seen by us — purchases are processed entirely by Apple.

2. How we use information

• Provide the Service: accounts, portfolios, charts, alerts, community features, and cross-device sync.
• Identify cards you scan and enforce plan limits.
• Deliver notifications you have enabled (price alerts, restock alerts, community activity).
• Process subscriptions and unlock paid features (via Apple and our subscription-management provider).
• Keep the community safe: automated filtering of prohibited content (for example, payment solicitation in chat), review of reports, and enforcement of our Community Guidelines.
• Debug, secure, and improve the Service.
• Comply with law and enforce our Terms of Use.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

3. Public information

Some information is public by design, controlled by your settings: if you enable a public profile, your handle, display name, avatar, bio, follower counts, photos you upload, and — only if you additionally enable them — your portfolio value and holdings are visible to other users and visitors. Messages you post in public community rooms are visible to their members. You can make your profile private at any time in the app.

4. Service providers

We share information only with processors that run the Service for us:

Market data shown in the app comes from licensed data partners and public marketplace records; your personal information is not shared with them. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the rights, safety, or property of users or the public, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale (with notice where required).

5. Data retention

Account data is retained while your account is active. Chat messages, photos, and portfolio data are retained until you delete them or your account. Crash logs and diagnostics are retained for a limited period. When you delete your account, personal data is deleted or de-identified within 30 days, except records we must keep for legal, security, or fraud purposes.

6. Deleting your account and your rights

You can permanently delete your account in the app (Me → Settings → Delete account) or by emailing support@thedailyrip.app from your account email. Deletion removes your profile, holdings, photos, messages, and follows.

Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to:

• Access a copy of your personal information;
• Correct inaccurate information;
• Delete your information;
• Object to or restrict certain processing;
• Data portability;
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, email support@thedailyrip.app. We respond within the time required by applicable law and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. California residents: we do not sell or "share" personal information as defined by the CCPA/CPRA. EU/UK residents: our legal bases are performance of contract (providing the Service), legitimate interests (security, moderation, improvement), and consent (notifications); you may lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority.

7. Security

Data is encrypted in transit, access to production systems is restricted, and database access is governed by row-level security so users can only read what they are entitled to see. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affecting your personal data occurs, we will notify you as required by law.

8. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

9. International transfers

We operate from the United States and our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where required, transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

10. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced in the app or by email, and the "Effective date" above will always reflect the current version.
