This Privacy Policy explains how the TIQ — Antique Identifier app ("TIQ", "we", "us") handles your information. We built TIQ to be private by design: you do not create an account, and we keep on your device everything we reasonably can.
Photos you scan. When you identify an item, the photo (and any optional text details you add) is sent securely to our processing server and to our AI and visual-search providers solely to generate your identification, history, and value estimate. We do not use your photos to advertise to you, and we do not sell them.
Your collection. The antiques you save — images, titles, notes, and estimated values — are stored locally on your device. We do not upload or back up your collection to our servers.
Diagnostics & usage. Like most apps, we may collect anonymous, aggregated diagnostic and usage data (for example, crashes and feature usage) to keep the app stable and improve it.
Purchases. Subscriptions are handled by Apple and our subscription provider (RevenueCat). We receive your subscription status, not your payment card details.
To deliver identifications we use trusted providers, including OpenAI (AI analysis), (visual matches), Apple (purchases and review prompts), and RevenueCat (subscription management). These providers process data only to perform their service.
Scan images are processed transiently to produce a result and are not retained on our servers for profiling. Your saved collection remains on your device until you delete an item or uninstall the app.
You can delete any saved item at any time from your collection. Uninstalling the app removes your local collection. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID settings.
TIQ is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
TIQ provides research estimates and identifications generated by AI and market data. They are not certified appraisals or guarantees of authenticity or value. Always verify high-value items with a qualified specialist.
