Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Wax Cache ("Wax Cache", "we", "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our websites, web application, iOS application, Android application, and related support or partner pages (the "Service").
Information We Collect
Account Information
When you create a Wax Cache account, we collect:
- Email address
- Profile information you choose to provide (for example: display name, avatar, bio)
Collection Data
When you use Wax Cache to manage your collection, we store:
- Box names and locations
- Card details (player names, sets, years, card numbers)
- Estimated values (manual values you enter and/or estimates generated by the Service)
- Photos you upload or capture (for example: front/back card images)
- Public sharing preferences for boxes
- Activity, listing state, sold-card state, and analytics derived from actions you take in the Service
Usage Information
We and our service providers may automatically receive certain information when you use the Service, such as:
- Browser type and version
- Device information
- IP address
- Pages visited and features used
- Time and date of access
Pricing and Marketplace Interaction Data
When you use pricing features or marketplace links, we may process:
- Card metadata used to build pricing and listing queries
- Pricing outcomes generated by our service
- Outbound marketplace link metadata (for example, affiliate campaign parameters)
- Marketplace OAuth, seller setup, listing, offer, order, sale, and policy data when you connect a seller account
If you connect a marketplace account or publish listings through the Service, related listing and account workflow data may be exchanged with that marketplace. Marketplace seller settings such as shipping, return, payment, inventory location, and Seller Hub requirements are controlled by the marketplace provider, not Wax Cache.
Camera and Scanning
- QR scanning: Uses your device camera in your browser to read QR codes. QR detection generally happens on-device.
- Card scanning (OCR/AI): When you choose to scan a card, the images you capture or upload may be sent to our scan service and third-party OCR or AI providers to generate suggested card details.
- OCR improvement: Scan fingerprints, corrected fields, and related OCR metadata may be stored to improve recognition quality and reduce repeat errors.
Payment and Subscription Data
We use payment and subscription providers to process billing, manage Free and paid access, and handle subscription status. We do not store full payment card numbers.
- Web subscriptions may be processed by Stripe.
- Native iOS and Android subscriptions may be processed through RevenueCat, Apple, and Google.
- Billing records may include subscription identifiers, payment status, renewal/cancellation state, plan, and purchase channel.
- Plan and usage-limit records may include plan type, card quantity counts, box and location counts, usage counters, and feature access state used to enforce Free and paid limits.
Contact, Support, and Partner Applications
When you contact us or apply for the Partner Program, we collect the information you submit, such as name, email, business or brand details, social links, message content, proof of reach, payout contact information, and related correspondence.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
Service Providers and Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information in the ordinary meaning of selling a customer list for money. We may disclose or process information with service providers and third parties needed to operate the Service, including:

- Email and support: Email delivery and support tooling, such as Resend where configured, used to receive contact forms and partner applications.
- Public sharing: If you enable a public link for a box, anyone with the link may be able to view the shared content.
- Legal and safety: To comply with law, respond to lawful requests, or protect the rights, safety, and security of Wax Cache and our users.
- Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.
Some marketplace links may include affiliate parameters. Wax Cache is an official eBay affiliate. Privacy laws can define "sale" or "sharing" differently by jurisdiction; contact us if you need to exercise privacy choices available under applicable law.

Retention
We keep information for as long as reasonably needed to provide the Service, maintain your account, support security and fraud prevention, comply with legal or tax obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain business records. If you delete your account, we delete or de-identify account and collection data tied to your user where reasonably possible, subject to limited retention for legal, tax, billing, fraud-prevention, security, backup, and operational reasons.
Public Sharing
When you generate a public sharing link for a box:
- Only the box contents you choose to share are visible
- Links are read-only; viewers cannot edit your collection
- You can revoke public access at any time
- We do not intend to index or make shared boxes searchable, but we cannot control how third parties handle links you share
Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Keep you logged in
- Remember your preferences
- Measure performance and usage to improve the Service
You can control cookies through your browser settings, but some features may not work properly without them.
