Overview

Item Value Checker ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our service.

Information We Collect

Images: When you upload an image to estimate its value, we temporarily process it to search for similar items on eBay. Images are not permanently stored on our servers and are only cached temporarily to improve performance.

Technical Information: We collect basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and device information to prevent abuse and improve our service.

Price-watch notifications (optional). If you tap "Watch price," your browser's push subscription and a thumbnail of your item are stored so we can notify you when its estimated resale value moves. We delete this when you unsubscribe or the subscription expires. We never sell it.

How We Use Your Information

To communicate with you if you contact us

Data Sharing

We use eBay's API to search for similar items. When you upload an image, it is sent to eBay's servers for processing. Please refer to eBay's Privacy Policy for their data handling practices.

We do not sell your personal information for money. We do use the third-party analytics and advertising services described in the "Analytics, Advertising, and Cookies" section below, which receive information about your visit and may use it for their own advertising and measurement. Aside from the image search described above, we do not share the content you submit with other parties.

Analytics, Advertising, and Cookies

We use third-party services to measure how the site is used, to display ads, and to monitor performance and errors. These services set cookies in your browser and receive information about your visit.

Google Analytics 4. We use Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC) to measure traffic and understand how the tool is used. It sets cookies (including _ga and _ga_*) and collects pages viewed, time on site, interactions with the estimation tool, outbound link clicks, and custom events such as estimated value ranges, item categories, and page-performance metrics. Google processes this under its own privacy policy and may combine it with data from other sites. You can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.

Google AdSense. We display ads through Google AdSense (Google LLC). To serve and measure ads and to detect invalid traffic, AdSense loads and connects to other Google advertising domains. These set advertising cookies and collect information about your activity on this and other sites. You can manage or opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings.

Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights. We use Vercel's analytics to monitor performance. They collect Web Vitals (such as Largest Contentful Paint and Cumulative Layout Shift) and basic page-view data, sent to Vercel, to keep the site fast.

Sentry. We use Sentry to catch and debug errors. It collects JavaScript errors, stack traces, page paths, browser information, and performance metrics, sent to Sentry, so we can fix problems. See Sentry's Privacy Policy.

Cookies and your choices. The services above set cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may work less well.

Data Retention

Uploaded images are cached for up to 6 hours to improve performance. After this period, they are automatically deleted from our servers.

Your Rights

We do not create user accounts, and we do not permanently store the images you upload. The third-party analytics and advertising services described above do set cookies and collect usage data. You can opt out of those through the links in the "Analytics, Advertising, and Cookies" section above or through your browser settings, and you can request access to or deletion of data held by Google directly from Google.

Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption, rate limiting, and input validation to protect your data during transmission and processing.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
