TROVE PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: June 30, 2026

Trove ("we," "us," or "the app") helps you find secondhand and thrift stores and
identify items you photograph. This policy explains what information the app
collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. We aim to collect as little
as possible and to be plain about it.


INFORMATION WE COLLECT

- Photos you take or select. When you use Identify Item, the photo is sent to our
  processing service and to our AI providers so the item can be analyzed. If you
  choose to save an item, the photo and its results are stored in your account so
  you can see them later in History.

- Approximate or precise location. When you use Find Stores, the app uses your
  device location to search for nearby stores. Location is used to perform your
  search and is not used to track you over time.

- Account information. If you create an account, we store your email address to
  sign you in and to associate your saved items with you.

- Subscription status. Trove Pro subscriptions are processed by Apple. We (through
  our subscription provider, RevenueCat) receive whether your subscription is
  active. We do not receive or store your payment card or full billing details.

- Basic app and diagnostic data. Limited technical information (such as app errors
  and anonymous usage counts, including an on-device count of free identifications
  used) may be processed to keep the app working and to enforce free-tier limits.


HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

- To identify photographed items and generate descriptions, value estimates, and
  repurposing ideas.
- To find and display secondhand stores near your chosen location and to help plan
  visits.
- To create and maintain your account and your saved History and Favorites.
- To provide, manage, and restore Trove Pro subscriptions and to apply free-tier
  limits.
- To maintain, secure, and improve the app.


SERVICE PROVIDERS WE SHARE DATA WITH

We use trusted third parties only to operate the app. They process data on our
behalf:

- Google -- Maps and Places (store search) and Gemini AI (item analysis and image
  generation).
- Anthropic -- Claude AI (item analysis).
- Supabase -- secure backend, authentication, and storage of your saved items.
- Apple -- subscription billing through the App Store.
- RevenueCat -- subscription management (active/inactive status).

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


DATA RETENTION

Saved items remain in your account until you delete them or delete your account.
Photos submitted for identification are processed to produce your results; photos
you do not save are not retained by us for long-term storage. Our AI providers may
process submitted images transiently to return a result in accordance with their
own terms.


YOUR CHOICES AND RIGHTS

- Location. You can allow or deny location access in your device Settings at any
  time. Denying it only limits the Find Stores feature.
- Saved items. You can delete individual saved items in the app.
- Account and data deletion. You can request deletion of your account and
  associated data by emailing us at the address below. We will delete your data
  unless we are required to keep it by law.
- Subscriptions. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple
  ID settings.


CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Trove is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect
personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided
us information, contact us and we will remove it.


SECURITY

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your
information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work
to safeguard your data.


CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by
updating the "Last updated" date above.
