Privacy policy
Effective November 8, 2026
Heat Seekers is made by Marvelous Life LLC, a Washington limited liability company ("we"). It's an app for card collectors: you add your cards, it tracks what they're worth, and it helps you buy and sell them. This policy says what we keep, why, who else sees it, and how to delete it.
What we keep
- Your email address, if you sign in with one, to send sign-in codes and open your cards on another phone.
- Your collection: the cards, Seeker cards, lists, deals, prices, notes and photos you add, and your settings. They're saved to our cloud under a private profile code so they're on every phone you sign in on.
- Your eBay link, if you connect an eBay seller account: eBay's access token for it, your eBay user name, and the orders and listings the app reads or makes for you.
- Alerts: if you turn on notifications, the device address your phone gives us to send them.
- Diagnostics: short logs when something goes wrong (for example a failed sync), kept 7 days.
- Usage counts: how many scans, lookups and Claude features you've used this day or month, to apply plan limits.
- Codes and invites: the show, shop, creator or invite code your account used, your own invite code, and how many friends joined with it, to give the free months they come with and to count creator referrals.
- The waitlist: if you join it on our website, your email and which link or code brought you there (for example a card show's QR code), to tell you when the iPhone app opens. Email [email protected] to be removed.
We don't use advertising, ad trackers or analytics SDKs, we don't sell your data, and we don't track you across other apps or websites.
Who else sees it
- Anthropic (Claude AI). When you scan a card, pre-grade it, ask for a listing or ask a question, the photos and card details that feature needs (and your question) are sent to Anthropic's Claude to answer it. The app asks your permission first. Anthropic doesn't train its models on this data. Your email and eBay account are never sent.
- eBay. Card names are searched on eBay to find sold and listed prices. If you connect your eBay account, the app reads your sales and creates the listings you ask for there.
- Price and grading sources (PriceCharting, SportsCardsPro, TCGplayer prices via TCGCSV, PSA, CompSniper): only card names, numbers and PSA cert numbers are sent to look up prices and slabs, never anything about you.
- Cloudflare hosts the app and its database and sends our sign-in emails.
- Apple delivers notifications and, when subscriptions start, handles payment. We never see your card details.
If you share your collection or a show-day card with a link or QR code, anyone with it can see what you chose to share.
How long we keep it
As long as you have an account. Deleting a card deletes it from the cloud. We keep backups of the database only to recover from a failure: daily copies for 30 days, weekly copies for 12 weeks and monthly copies for 12 months, then they're removed. A deleted account is never restored from a backup.
Deleting your account
In the app: Settings › Account › Delete account and data. That deletes your profile, cards, photos, eBay link, trackers, alerts and email from our cloud right away and clears the phone; backups age out as above. You can also email [email protected] and we'll do it for you. Disconnecting eBay alone is in Settings too.
Children
Heat Seekers isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Your rights
You can see and export your data in the app (Settings › Backup › Export backup), correct it at any time, and delete it as above. Residents of California and other states with privacy laws can make any request by email; we answer within 30 days.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the app will tell you. Questions: [email protected].
