Privacy Policy for Minty
Last updated: April 16, 2026
Minty, also referred to as Mercury in development materials, is a trading card collection and portfolio app. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information when you use the Minty mobile application.

Information We Collect
Account Information
When you create or use an account, we may collect:
- Email address
- Authentication provider information, such as Google sign-in profile information
- User ID and session information
- Account metadata, such as selected app preferences
Authentication is provided through Supabase and, if you choose Google sign-in, Google.
Collection and Portfolio Data
Minty stores information you add to manage your trading card collection, including:
- Cards in your collection
- Collection names
- Card quantities
- Card conditions
- Purchase, sale, and trade records
- Price paid, sale price, and related portfolio values
- Selected portfolio display preferences
This data is used to provide collection tracking, portfolio summaries, transaction history, and related app features.
Camera and Card Scan Data
Minty requests camera access so you can scan trading cards.
When you use card scanning:
- The camera is used to capture a card image.
- The image is processed on your device to prepare it for card matching.
- Minty creates a derived numeric card image embedding from the image.
- The derived embedding is sent to our backend to find matching card records.
- Captured scan images are stored temporarily in the device cache and are deleted when they are no longer needed.
Minty does not use the camera for background recording, surveillance, or any purpose unrelated to card scanning.
Subscription and Purchase Information
Minty uses RevenueCat to manage subscriptions and in-app purchase status. RevenueCat may process:
- App user ID
- Subscription status
- Purchase product identifiers
- Purchase, renewal, cancellation, and expiration information
- Store platform information, such as Google Play or Apple App Store purchase data
Minty does not directly receive or store full payment card numbers.

- Device type and operating system
- App version
- Crash or diagnostic information

How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Provide and maintain the app

Data Retention
We retain account, collection, transaction, and subscription-related data for as long as needed to provide the app, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain business records.
Temporary card scan images are stored in the device cache and are deleted when no longer needed by the scan flow.

Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
Minty is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
