Privacy Policy
Effective date: 2026-05-05
This Privacy Policy describes how The Daily Rip ("we", "us", or
"our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information about you
when you use our mobile application, our website at thedailyrip.app,
and any related services (collectively, the "Service").
We are committed to handling your information responsibly. If you
have questions, email privacy@thedailyrip.app.
This Policy is incorporated into our Terms of Service.
1. Who we are
The Daily Rip is operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME — to be filled in by
publisher; e.g., "The Daily Rip, Inc.", "Nicolas Coculuzzi (sole
proprietor)", or your LLC name]. For purposes of the European Union
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the United Kingdom Data
Protection Act 2018 ("UK GDPR"), and the California Consumer Privacy
Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA/CPRA"),
we are the controller of personal information processed through
the Service.
If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you can contact us about
your data at privacy@thedailyrip.app. We have not appointed an
EU-based representative under Article 27 GDPR; if our user base in
the EU grows materially we will do so.
2. Information we collect
We collect only what is necessary to operate the Service. Below is
the full inventory.
2.1 Information you provide
Account information
- Email address (required to sign in)
- Password (stored hashed; we never see plain text)
- Handle (username)
- Optional: display name, bio, avatar image, 5-digit US ZIP code
Collection and portfolio data
- Cards you mark as owned
- Watchlist entries and any alert thresholds
- Holdings (quantity, cost basis, optional acquisition date, optional
grade bucket)
- Photos you upload of cards you own (limited to images)
Communications with us
- Email, in-app chat, or other support communications you send
AI assistant prompts
- The text of your question and the relevant card identifier when
you use the "Ask AI" feature
2.2 Information collected automatically
- Device and app metadata: app version, OS version, device model,
language, timezone
- Network metadata: IP address (used briefly for rate limiting and
security; not retained long-term as a unique identifier)
- Push notification tokens: anonymous device identifiers issued
by Apple Push Notification service or Firebase Cloud Messaging,
used solely to deliver notifications you have opted into
- Crash and error reports: when crash reporting is enabled, we
receive anonymous stack traces with no user identifiers attached
(see Section 5.5)
- Usage signals: aggregate, non-identifying counters (e.g., how
many users opened a screen) used to improve the product
We do not use cookies on the mobile apps. The website uses only
strictly-necessary cookies (e.g., for authentication); we do not use
advertising or third-party analytics cookies that track you across
sites.
2.3 Information from third parties
- Subscription status from RevenueCat (which receives entitlement
data from Apple or Google after you subscribe)
- Public card and price data (eBay, PriceCharting, etc.) — this
data is about cards, not about you, but it is associated with your
watchlist and portfolio when you save it
We do not buy lists of personal information from data brokers.
2.4 What we do NOT collect
- Real legal name (unless you put it in display name)
- Phone number
- Precise geolocation; we collect only your optional ZIP code if you
choose to enter it
- Government-issued ID
- Health, biometric, or genetic data
- Financial-account or payment-card information (handled by Apple/
Google)
- Contents of your Camera Roll beyond photos you specifically pick
- Cross-app or cross-site advertising identifiers; the iOS app does
not request App Tracking Transparency (ATT) permission because
we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites
3. How we use your information
We use the information described above for the following purposes.
Where required by law, we identify the legal basis under GDPR.
| Purpose | Examples | GDPR legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Provide the Service | Authenticate you; render your portfolio, watchlist, and feeds; deliver alerts you set up | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Process subscriptions | Verify entitlement; deliver paid-tier features | Performance of a contract |
| Communicate with you | Account verification, billing receipts, security alerts, support replies | Performance of a contract / legitimate interests |
| Operate AI assistant | Send your prompt + card context to OpenAI to generate an answer | Performance of a contract |
| Prevent abuse and ensure security | Rate limits, free-tier caps, fraud detection | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| Comply with legal obligations | Tax records, valid law-enforcement requests | Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
| Improve the product | Aggregate usage analytics, crash diagnosis | Legitimate interests |
| Marketing communications (only with consent) | Product newsletters, where you opt in | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — withdrawable any time |
We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-
context behavioral advertising, and we do not use your data to
train AI models (we have not opted into any AI training uses with
our subprocessors).
4. Public content
By default, your profile is private. If you toggle your profile
public from the in-app profile screen, the following becomes visible
at thedailyrip.app/u/{your-handle}:
- Your handle, display name, bio, avatar
- Your card-photo gallery
- Aggregate stats (total card count, total photo count)
You separately control whether your holdings list and your
portfolio dollar value appear on the public profile. Both are
off by default; turning them on is opt-in.
You may toggle any of these off at any time. We do not control
copies that third parties may have already saved (e.g., screenshots,
search-engine caches).
5. Sharing with third parties
We share information with the following categories of third parties.
A current list of subprocessors is in Section 11.
5.1 Service providers (subprocessors)
We use the following providers to operate the Service. They process
data on our behalf under written agreements that limit them to that
purpose:
- Supabase — hosting, database, authentication
- Apple Push Notification service / Firebase Cloud Messaging —
push notification delivery
- RevenueCat — subscription state management
- OpenAI — AI assistant (your prompt + card context only)
- Sentry — anonymous crash and error reporting (when enabled)
- Cloudflare / [HOSTING PROVIDER] — DNS, edge delivery, DDoS
protection for the website
5.2 Marketplaces and data sources
We pull public price data from third parties (eBay, PriceCharting,
etc.). We do not send your personal data to these sources.
5.3 Legal compliance
We may disclose information when we believe in good faith that it is
necessary to:
- Comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or
governmental request;
- Enforce these Terms, including investigation of potential
violations;
- Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or
technical issues;
- Protect against harm to our rights, property, or safety, or that
of our users or the public.
Where legally permitted, we will notify you of a request before
disclosing your information.
5.4 Business transfers
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets,
financing, or bankruptcy, your information may be transferred to the
acquiring or successor entity. We will notify you (e.g., via email
and a notice on the Service) before your information is transferred
and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
5.5 Crash reporting
When enabled, anonymous crash and error reports are sent to Sentry.
We configure Sentry not to capture user identifiers. Crash reports
may include device model, OS version, app version, and a stack
trace.
6. International data transfers
We are based in the United States. Information we collect is stored
and processed in the U.S. and in any country where our subprocessors
operate. If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, your data is
transferred to the U.S. under appropriate safeguards, primarily the
Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission
(and, where applicable, the U.K. International Data Transfer
Addendum). Copies are available on request.
7. Data retention
We retain your information for as long as your account is active and
as needed to provide the Service. Specific retention rules:
- Account profile: retained while your account is active
- Holdings, watchlist, owned-card lists: retained while your
account is active
- Card photos: retained while you keep them in the app; deleted
within 30 days of your removal of the photo
- AI prompt history: retained for up to 90 days for abuse
prevention, then de-identified or deleted
- Push tokens: retained until you log out, disable notifications,
or uninstall the app
- Subscription records: retained as long as required by tax and
accounting law (typically 7 years)
- Anonymous crash reports: retained per Sentry's defaults
(typically 90 days)
- Backups: encrypted backups may persist beyond active deletion
for up to 30 days, after which they are overwritten
When you delete your account (Section 9), we permanently remove
identifiable data within 30 days, subject to the retention exceptions
above.
8. Security
We use industry-standard technical and organizational measures to
protect your information, including:
- TLS (HTTPS) for all data in transit
- Encryption at rest for the database
- Row-level security (RLS) at the database layer — every query
is automatically scoped to your auth.uid(), so even an
application bug cannot expose another user's data
- Hashed passwords (never stored in plain text)
- Multi-factor authentication for admin access to our systems
No system is impenetrable. If we become aware of a personal-data
breach affecting you, we will notify you and the relevant
authorities as required by law (typically within 72 hours under
GDPR).
9. Your rights and choices
9.1 In-app controls
From the in-app profile screen you can:
- Edit or remove your handle, display name, bio, avatar, ZIP code
- Toggle your profile public/private
- Toggle public-holdings and public-portfolio-value
- Add, edit, or delete watchlist entries, holdings, owned cards,
photos, and alert thresholds
- Export your portfolio as a CSV
- Delete your account, which cascade-deletes your data within 30
days (see Section 7)
9.2 Email
You can opt out of marketing emails via the unsubscribe link in any
marketing email. Transactional emails (account verification,
billing, security alerts) cannot be opted out of while your account
is active.
9.3 Push notifications
You can disable push notifications via the system settings on your
device.
9.4 GDPR rights (EEA, UK, Switzerland users)
You have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you;
- Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data;
- Erase your data ("right to be forgotten");
- Restrict or object to certain processing;
- Data portability — receive your data in a structured,
machine-readable format;
- Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on
consent;
- Lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority;
- Not be subject to a decision based **solely on automated
processing** that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
To exercise these rights, email privacy@thedailyrip.app. We will
respond within one month (extendable to three months for complex
requests, with notice). We may need to verify your identity before
acting.
9.5 California rights (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
- Know what categories of personal information we collect, the
sources, the purposes, and the categories of third parties we
share with (this Policy provides that information in Sections 2,
3, 5, and 11);
- Access the specific pieces of personal information we have
collected about you;
- Delete your personal information, subject to certain
exceptions;
- Correct inaccurate personal information;
- Limit use of sensitive personal information (we do not use
sensitive personal information for any purpose other than as
permitted by law without your consent);
- Opt out of "selling" or "sharing" — we do not sell or share
your personal information for cross-context behavioral
advertising. There is therefore no opt-out link required, but you
may confirm this with us at any time;
- Non-discrimination — we will not discriminate against you for
exercising any of these rights.
To exercise California rights, email privacy@thedailyrip.app with
"California Privacy Request" in the subject line. You may designate
an authorized agent to act on your behalf, in which case we will
require written authorization and may verify your identity directly.
We respond to Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals on
thedailyrip.app as a valid opt-out preference signal.
9.6 Other U.S. state rights
Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon,
Montana, Iowa, Delaware, New Jersey, Tennessee, Maryland, Minnesota,
New Hampshire, Indiana, Kentucky, Rhode Island, and other states
with comprehensive privacy laws have similar rights to those listed
in 9.5. Email privacy@thedailyrip.app with the subject line "Privacy
Rights Request" and your state of residence. We honor verified
requests within the timeframe required by your state's law.
9.7 Brazil (LGPD), Canada (PIPEDA), and other jurisdictions
Residents of Brazil, Canada, Australia, and other jurisdictions with
data-protection laws have rights similar to those above. Use the
same contact: privacy@thedailyrip.app.
10. Children's privacy (COPPA)
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not
knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we
learn that we have collected such information without verified
parental consent, we will delete it promptly.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has
provided personal information to the Service, please contact us at
privacy@thedailyrip.app and we will delete it.
For users between 13 and 16 in the EEA/UK, we rely on parental
consent where required by local law.
11. Subprocessors
A current list of the third-party processors we use:
| Subprocessor | Purpose | Region |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase, Inc. | Database, auth, storage, edge functions | United States |
| OpenAI, L.L.C. | AI assistant model inference | United States |
| RevenueCat, Inc. | Subscription state management | United States |
| Apple Inc. | App distribution + push notifications | United States |
| Google LLC | App distribution + Firebase Cloud Messaging | United States |
| Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.) | Crash reporting (when enabled) | United States |
| Cloudflare, Inc. | DNS, CDN, DDoS protection | Global |
| [HOSTING PROVIDER] | Web hosting for thedailyrip.app | [REGION] |
We may add or remove subprocessors. Where required by law (e.g.,
GDPR Art. 28), we will notify you via email or in-app notice in
advance of any new subprocessor with access to your personal data.
12. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
The mobile apps do not transmit "Do Not Track" or "Global Privacy
Control" signals because we do not engage in cross-app tracking.
The website at thedailyrip.app honors GPC signals as a valid opt-
out preference signal under California law.
13. Third-party links and services
The Service contains links to third-party services (eBay, TCGplayer,
help articles, etc.). Once you leave the Service, this Policy no
longer applies. Please review the third party's privacy policy.
14. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy occasionally. If we make material
changes, we will notify you via the Service or by email and update
the Effective date at the top. Material changes take effect no
sooner than 30 days after notice (or such shorter period as required
by law). Your continued use of the Service after the new Policy
takes effect constitutes acceptance.
