Privacy

Your data stays local

Your card metadata, images, settings, and exported files live on your computer (for example, in a local SQLite database plus your local files/folders). We do not have access to your library data.

No automatic cloud sync

There is no automatic upload of your data to any cloud service. You control when and how your data moves.

Update checks are minimal

When you check for updates, a simple request is made to see if a newer version is available. This request includes only basic metadata (app version, OS) — no card data or library information.

Telemetry is minimal and opt-in

CardStride Studio includes optional, opt-in telemetry to help us improve reliability and support your subscription. You can enable or disable telemetry in Settings & Support at any time.

What we may collect (when opted in): Crash reports (error messages and stack traces), coarse usage metrics (feature usage counts), credit consumption for billing, and basic system info (app version, OS).

What telemetry does not collect: Card images, listing content, library data, or personal inventory information. Telemetry does not access your cards or listings. AI Identify and other AI-assisted features may send selected card images you choose to a third-party AI provider, as described below — that is separate from telemetry. If you contact support, you may explicitly generate and attach a support bundle (logs and diagnostics); support bundles do not automatically include card images or account credentials unless you separately choose to include them.

Third-party integrations

When you connect your eBay account, CardStride Studio uses OAuth. We do not ask for or store your eBay password. OAuth tokens are stored locally on your device. Your use of eBay is governed by eBay's privacy policies and terms.

If you use AI Identify or other AI-assisted card-detail features, CardStride Studio may send the card images you select to a third-party AI provider to suggest details and help fill listing fields. You review results before publishing. We do not sell this data. We do not use your card images to train our own models.

Email collection

We collect your email address when you download the app, create or sign in to your account, and when you contact us for support or product communication.

• We use your email for CardStride Studio communications (download and account access, product updates, important notices, and support follow-up)
• We do not sell your email address or user data
• You can request deletion or unsubscribe at any time
