Privacy Policy
In short
- Hoardly has no accounts, ads, analytics or tracking.
- The developer does not collect, receive or sell any personal data.
- Your collection is stored only on your device.
- Camera images are analyzed on your device and are never saved or sent anywhere.
- Linked games exchange only player names, colors and scores, directly between phones on your local Wi-Fi.
1. Who we are
Hoardly: Card and Lore Tracker ("Hoardly" or "the app") is a free, unofficial fan app for Disney Lorcana players, available for Android and iOS. It is developed and published by Alberto Corso, an independent developer ("the developer", "we"). This policy explains what information the app handles and where it goes.
2. Data the developer collects
None. Hoardly has no user accounts, no servers of its own, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking. The developer does not collect, receive, store, share or sell any personal data about you or about how you use the app.
The only time the developer receives information from you is if you choose to write an email, for example to report a bug. In that case your email address and message are used only to reply and are not shared with anyone.
3. Data stored on your device
To work, the app keeps the following on your device, in its private storage:
- your collection: which cards you own and how many normal and foil copies;
- the card catalog and card images, downloaded as a local cache for personal viewing;
- the price history recorded since you started using the app;
- your settings, such as theme, language and currency;
- the player name and color you choose for game mode.
This data never leaves your device unless you decide to export or share it, or through your device's own backup, as described below.
4. Camera
The camera is used only while the card scanner or the QR scanner is open. Images are analyzed directly on your device (Google ML Kit on Android, Apple Vision on iOS) to recognize the card name, the collector number or a QR code. Images are not saved and are not sent to the developer or anyone else.
5. Internet connections
Hoardly connects to the internet only to download public data. It doesn't send any information about you or your collection. Like any website you visit, these services receive standard technical information needed to answer the request, such as your IP address, and handle it according to their own privacy policies.
| Service | What is downloaded | When |
|---|---|---|
| LorcanaJSON and the image servers it references | Card data and card images | When you update the catalog |
| Cardmarket | The public price guide | At most once a day |
| European Central Bank | The euro to US dollar reference rate | Together with the prices, at most once a day |
The "Open on Cardmarket" button opens Cardmarket's website in your browser, where Cardmarket's own terms and privacy policy apply.
6. Linked games on your local network
In a linked game, players' phones find each other and connect directly over your local Wi-Fi network (using Android Network Service Discovery or Apple Bonjour). Only player names, colors and scores travel between the phones. Nothing goes through the internet or through any server, and nothing is kept after the game ends.
7. Backups, exports and QR codes
- Android automatic backup. If backup is enabled on your phone, Android saves the app's collection, settings and the last year of price history in your personal Google account (card images are excluded). When you reinstall the app, it restores them and tells you so, and you can choose to start over instead. You can turn this off in your device's backup settings. This backup is managed by Google under its own privacy policy; the developer has no access to it.
- Device backups on iOS. Your iPhone's own backups may include the app's data, according to your device settings. The developer has no access to them.
- Hoardly backup and CSV export. These files are created only when you ask for them and are shared only where you choose.
- Collection QR code. The QR code is shown on your screen and read by the camera of your other device. It never goes through the internet.
8. Third-party components
On Android, card and text recognition uses Google ML Kit, which runs on your device. Google ML Kit may send Google anonymous diagnostic data, such as device model and recognition performance, to improve its service. It never includes your photos or your collection. See Google ML Kit's terms and Google's privacy policy.
On iOS, recognition uses Apple's Vision framework, which runs entirely on your device.
The app contains no advertising SDKs, analytics SDKs or crash-reporting services.
9. Permissions
- Camera: to scan cards and collection QR codes. You can deny it and still use the rest of the app.
- Internet and network state: to download the catalog, prices and exchange rates, and to connect phones in a linked game.
- Local network (iOS): to find and connect to other phones in a linked game.
10. Children
Hoardly does not collect personal data from anyone, including children. It contains no ads, no in-app purchases and no ways to communicate with strangers: linked games only connect phones on the same local network.
11. Keeping and deleting your data
Your data stays on your device for as long as you keep the app. You can delete everything at any time from Settings → "Delete everything and start over", or by uninstalling the app, which removes all its data from the device. To delete an Android backup, manage it from your Google account or device backup settings.
12. Your rights
Depending on where you live, data protection laws such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation give you rights over your personal data, including access, correction and deletion. Since the developer does not collect or hold any personal data through the app, there is no data about you to access or delete on our side: all your data is on your device and under your control. For any question about your privacy, you can contact us at the address below.
13. Changes to this policy
If the app changes in a way that affects your privacy, this policy will be updated and the effective date at the top of the page will change. Significant changes will also be described in the app's release notes.
