Privacy Policy

Information we collect

We collect information you provide when you create and use an account, including your email address, optional display name, bullion holdings, transaction or activity information, watchlist price targets, notification preferences, and other portfolio information you choose to enter.

We may also process technical information needed to operate the service, such as authentication session information, push-notification subscription information, basic device/browser information supplied in normal web requests, and service logs used for security and reliability.

How we use information

We use this information to authenticate your account, save and display your portfolio, calculate portfolio values and history, provide requested price alerts and other notifications, maintain service reliability, prevent abuse, and provide customer support.

Market data and third-party services

Benza Bullion uses service providers to operate the app, including Supabase for authentication, database, backend functions, and account storage. Benza Bullion's backend retrieves reference market pricing from third-party market-data services and may cache the latest successful quotes to improve reliability. Benza Bullion does not sell your personal information or use your portfolio information for cross-app advertising tracking.

Push notifications

If you enable notifications, Benza Bullion stores the technical subscription information needed to deliver alerts. You can disable notification categories in Settings and can also disable notifications through your device or browser settings.

Bullion Scan Assist and private inventory

Bullion Scan Assist reads photos on your device. Scan processing does not send your photos or recognized markings to an external AI service. Scan diagnostics stay on your device. If you save a holding with scan photos, item photos, receipts, or private notes, those records are stored with your account in private cloud storage so you can access them with your holdings. You can remove the holding or delete your account to remove those stored records.

Pro purchases

Apple processes in-app purchases. Benza Bullion verifies signed purchase information and stores the product, transaction identifier, subscription status, and expiration information needed to provide and restore Pro access. Benza Bullion does not receive your payment card details.

Data retention

We retain account and portfolio information while your account is active and as reasonably necessary to provide the service, meet security obligations, resolve disputes, or comply with applicable law. Portfolio history may be retained to provide long-term account charts and analytics.

Browsing without an account

You can browse public metal prices, news, and the bullion calculator without registering. Public browsing does not create a Benza Bullion account or save a personal portfolio. Your device may cache public quotes, news, and display preferences; service providers may process technical request information to deliver these features.

Account deletion

You can initiate permanent account deletion from within Benza Bullion under Settings. Deleting your account removes your Benza Bullion authentication account and associated portfolio data that is not required to be retained by law. Account deletion cannot be undone. A minimal Apple purchase identifier may remain without your Benza Bullion account association to prevent duplicate purchase claims.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No internet service or storage system can guarantee absolute security.

Children

Benza Bullion is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Your choices

You may update your display name and email, change or recover your password, export a personal copy of your Benza Bullion data, manage notification preferences, sign out, or delete your account from Settings. For other privacy questions or requests, contact us at benzabullion@gmail.com.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the service evolves. The effective date above will be updated when material changes are made.
