CDLens ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application for CD scanning, identification, and collection management.
CDLens does not require an account. We do not collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, or phone number to use the app.
When you scan a disc, cover, or barcode, CDLens uses your camera or photo library to capture an image. The image is processed to identify the release and is not retained by us afterwards. We do not store or share your raw scan photos on our servers.
Your CD collection, including saved releases, condition grades, custom collections, and notes, is stored locally on your device. We do not upload your collection to our servers unless you explicitly enable a cloud backup feature.
We may collect anonymous usage statistics to understand how the app is used and to improve our service. This data does not identify you personally and includes things like feature usage, crash reports, and performance metrics.
The app stores the following information on your device:
We use locally stored and anonymous information to:
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share limited information with third-party services we use to operate the app, including:
We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, property, or safety.
We use industry-standard security measures to protect any data we transmit. Your collection data is stored locally on your device and is not accessible to us. While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure.
Your collection data and app preferences are stored locally on your device and remain there until you delete the app, reset your data from the settings, or sign out of any optional cloud backup. We do not retain scan photos on our servers after recognition completes.
CDLens is suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.
CDLens may rely on a small number of third-party services for essential functionality, including image recognition, discography data, market pricing, and anonymous analytics. These services are chosen to align with this privacy policy and are bound by their own privacy practices.
CDLens uses computer vision and machine learning to identify CDs from your camera. Depending on the scan mode (Disc, Cover, or Barcode), recognition may run on your device or via a secure cloud endpoint. We only use uploaded images to return a result back to you; we do not store them long-term.
CDLens complies with both Apple's App Store and Google Play Store guidelines:
