Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 29, 2025
Overview
VinylCheck is designed with your privacy in mind. We collect minimal data and never sell your information to third parties.
Data We Collect
Discogs Account Data
When you sign in with Discogs, we access:
- Your Discogs username
- Your collection (records you own)
- Your wantlist (records you want)
This data is stored locally on your device to enable offline functionality. We do not upload your collection data to our servers.
Authentication Tokens
Your Discogs OAuth tokens are stored securely in your device's Keychain. These tokens allow the app to communicate with Discogs on your behalf.
Camera Access
VinylCheck uses your camera solely to scan barcodes. No images or video are stored or transmitted. Camera access can be revoked at any time in your device settings.
Data We Don't Collect
- We do not collect analytics or usage data
- We do not track your location
- We do not use advertising or ad tracking
- We do not share any data with third parties (except Discogs API for core functionality)
Third-Party Services
VinylCheck connects to the Discogs API to search their database and access your collection. Your use of Discogs data is also subject to the Discogs Privacy Policy.
Data Storage
All data is stored locally on your device:
- Collection and wantlist data is stored in a local database
- Authentication tokens are stored in the iOS Keychain
- User preferences are stored in local app storage
You can delete all locally stored data by signing out of your Discogs account in the app settings, or by deleting the app.
Data Security
We use industry-standard security practices:
- OAuth tokens are stored in the iOS Keychain, which provides hardware-level encryption
- All communication with Discogs uses HTTPS encryption
- No sensitive data is transmitted to our servers
Children's Privacy
VinylCheck is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
