Collection storage and privacy

For your privacy, your collection is stored exclusively on your mobile device. It is never backed up to any server. Therefore, it's your responsibility to protect and back it up frequently.

🔙

Collection import/restore

A new or existing collection can be imported in a CSV format. Use the following example, to compose your CSV file that would be ready to be imported to the app: 

id,year,title,type,form,weight,purity,notes,quantity,paid,label,labelColor,cert,certGrade,certVendor,container,location,country,imageurl,reserved1,reserved2,reserved3,reserved4,reserved5,reserved6,created,updated
,2019,Canadian Maple Leaf&comma; roll of 20,gold,coin,1,0.999,Bought this roll on apmex.com.<new-line><new-line>Some of these could be certified with 70 grades&comma; need to go through the roll and pick which ones to send to PCGS,20,34999.99,,,,,,PCGS205,Bank Vault,ca,https://i.imgur.com/4OBOcqi.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Bv3wHJM.jpg,,,,,,,,

Please note:

  1. First row, should contain all the fields names as displayed above.
  2. CSV fields are separated by comma, if you want your fields content to contain some commas (as a part of content), should be replaced with HTML entity &comma; instead.
  3. CSV fields cannot have new line breaks. In order to have new lines properly imported without breaking the app, a CSV field (such as a Note) should have a special tag <new-line> for a line break.
  4. The usage of both comma and a new line is demonstrated in a sample CSV format above.
  5. Required fields: title, type, form, weight, purity, quantity, paid.
  6. If error message "ENCODING_ERR" shows up during file import, try to instead copy paste file content into the text area.

Copy and paste your CSV file content to the input box in the Settings tab.

Use third party apps to share files/content between your computer and mobile device (eg. Pushbullet, Alt-C).

🔙

Collection back up/export

Current collection can be backed up to CSV format from the Settings tab.

🔙

Investment gain/loss

Investment gain/loss metrics shown in this app are based on a live spot price of precious metals. Retail prices are normally higher than a spot/melt price.

[Virtual] Vault and investment metrics throughout this app represent only precious metals: gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. All other items are excluded.

    • Vital Interests: We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

    More specifically, we may need to process your data or share your personal information in the following situations:

Examples include: payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, hosting services, customer service and marketing efforts. We may allow selected third parties to use tracking technology on the Apps, which will enable them to collect data about how you interact with the Apps over time.

Unless described in this Policy, we do not share, sell, rent or trade any of your information with third parties for their promotional purposes.     

    • Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

    3. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?  

    In Short:  We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy notice unless otherwise required by law.   

    We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). No purpose in this policy will require us keeping your personal information for longer than __________.

    When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. 


    4. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?   

    In Short:  We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.  

    We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Apps is at your own risk. You should only access the services within a secure environment.

By using the Apps, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Apps. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at __________.


    6. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. To make such a request, please use the contact details provided below. We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

    If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note however that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal.

    If you are resident in the European Economic Area and you believe we are unlawfully processing your personal information, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. You can find their contact details here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/bodies/authorities/index_en.htm.


    7. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES  

    Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
