Privacy Policy
Attiko is an inventory app. It knows what is in your home, and we treat that as the most sensitive data we could hold. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what we will never do with it.
The short version
- Your inventory belongs to you. You can export all of it, at any time, for free.
- We never sell your data. Item-level data leaves Attiko only when you choose to send it: to a marketplace, a community post, or an insurance report, each with a review step first.
- We do study what people collect, in aggregate and de-identified form, to improve Attiko and to publish trends. No one can trace those insights back to you or your items.
- We do not embed third-party analytics or advertising SDKs that can see your items.
- Photos you scan are sent to an AI provider only to identify the item, and are not used to train AI models. To confirm what an item is and find current prices, a short text description of it may be searched on the web; your photo never is.
What we collect
Items you scan. When you scan an item, the photo is sent to our AI identification service, which returns a name, category, condition estimate, and value range. The resulting record (photo, details, location, value) is stored in your library.
Where it is stored. Your library is stored on your device and, once you create an account, in Attiko's cloud database so it syncs across your devices and the web app at app.attiko.ai, and survives a lost phone. Our database and photo storage are hosted by Supabase in the United States, encrypted in transit and at rest, and protected by row-level access rules so only you (and anyone you later explicitly share with) can read your items. Employees do not browse individual libraries. A copy stays on your phone so the app works without a signal, and the two are kept in step when you are online; deleting an item in one place deletes it everywhere.
Account details. To create an account we store the email address you sign in with (or the identifier and address Apple or Google provide), a display name if you add one, and your plan. Signing in is by a one-time code sent to your email, or through Apple or Google; we never see or store a password. If you sign in with Apple and choose Hide My Email, the relay address Apple gives us is the address we use.
Scan records. For each scan, our server keeps a record of its cost, timing and the AI model used, with no item details and no photo, so we can watch what scanning costs us. If you delete your account these records are kept with the link to your account removed.
Waitlist email. If you join the waitlist on attiko.ai, we store your email address to notify you when the beta opens. Form submissions are processed by Netlify, our website host.
Support email. If you write to support@attiko.ai, we keep the correspondence so we can help you.
What we do not collect
- No advertising identifiers, no cross-app tracking, no fingerprinting.
- No analytics SDK that can observe item names, photos, values, or locations.
- No contacts, no precise location. "Location" in Attiko means the shelf or bin you typed in, not GPS.
How we use what people collect
Understanding what people collect is part of why Attiko exists. It tells us which categories to support better, which valuation sources to invest in, and where the market is moving. To do that, we analyze library data in aggregate, de-identified form: for example, "vinyl scans grew 30% this quarter" or "the median Pokémon collection is 40 cards." We use those insights internally to build a better product, and may publish them at that level.
What this never includes: your name, email, account identifier, photos, item locations, or anything that would let someone reconstruct what is in your home. We do not share or sell individual item records, and we do not use your data to target advertising.
You can opt out of having your library included in aggregate research on the Account page in the app or on the web. Opting out does not change which features you get.
AI processing
Item identification is performed by a third-party AI provider (Anthropic) under terms that prohibit using your photos or the resulting data to train their models. The photo you choose to scan is sent from your phone to our server and from there to the provider, only for the purpose of identifying that item; the key that authorizes those requests lives on our server, never in the app. To check that identification and find current market prices, the AI provider may then run web searches for the item's description, such as a card's name, set, and variant. Those searches contain only that description: never your photo, your name or account, or where the item is kept. Value estimates are ranges with a stated source; we never claim precision we do not have.
If a photo shows a product barcode (on a DVD, game, book, LEGO set, or similar), the barcode is read on your device first, and only its number is sent to a product catalog (UPCitemdb, or Open Library for books) to find out what the item is. Your photo is not sent to the catalog. When the catalog knows the item, we then send the AI provider a short text description of it, such as its title and maker, to estimate its value, and no photo at all. If the catalog does not know the barcode, the photo is scanned as described above.
When we share your data, and only with your say-so
The only time item-level data leaves Attiko is when you choose to send it somewhere. Today that means three kinds of destinations:
- Online marketplaces (such as eBay), when you list an item for sale or donate a portion of a sale through eBay for Charity.
- Communities (such as Reddit), when you post a price check from your own account.
- Insurance providers or advisors, when you export an inventory or estate report to send them.
Each of these is a separate action you take, on a specific item or report, with a review step that shows you exactly what will be sent before it goes. Nothing is pushed automatically, and connecting an account does not by itself share anything. What you send is then governed by that service's own privacy policy. Attiko does not take a commission on your sales.
Your rights
- Export. Export your full library at any time from within the app.
- Delete. Deleting an item removes it from your library on every device. The Account page has a Delete account button: it removes your account, every item and every photo from our servers immediately, and from the phone you deleted it on. There is no undo, and we do not keep a copy. Already-aggregated statistics cannot be reversed but contain nothing that identifies you.
- Opt out of research. Exclude your library from aggregate analysis on the Account page, or by emailing us.
- Waitlist removal. Email support@attiko.ai and we will remove you.
If you are in California, the EU, the UK, or another region with a privacy law that grants additional rights, those rights apply and you can exercise them by emailing us.
Children
Attiko is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that affects how your data is handled, we will update the effective date above and, where we have your email, tell you before the change takes effect.
