Privacy Policy

CrateSnipe (“CrateSnipe,” “we,” “us”) is a record-collecting tool operated by an individual sole operator based in New York, USA. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. Questions? Email [email protected].

Information we collect

• Account information — your email address, display name, and a securely hashed password.
• Your wants and preferences — the records you choose to track and your alert settings.
• Discogs connection (optional) — if you link your Discogs account, we store the authorization needed to read your Discogs wantlist on your behalf, and your Discogs username.
• Marketplace listing data — public listing details (such as title, price, condition, image, and a link to the listing) that we retrieve from marketplaces to match against your wants and show to you.
• Usage and device data — basic logs and essential cookies used to keep you signed in.

How we use your information

• To provide and operate the service — monitoring marketplaces, matching listings to your wants, and sending you alerts.
• To send you notifications and service emails (such as alert digests and account messages).
• To secure, maintain, and improve the service.

Cookies

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and to operate the site. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as needed to run the service:

• Service providers that host our infrastructure and deliver our emails, acting on our behalf.
• Marketplaces. We query third-party marketplaces (such as Discogs and eBay) to find listings matching your wants. These requests use the marketplaces’ APIs and do not disclose your personal account data to them beyond what is necessary to make a request.

If you connect a Discogs account, your use of Discogs is governed by Discogs’ own policies. We may also disclose information if required by law.

Data retention and your choices

We retain your information while your account is active. You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data, and you can disconnect a linked Discogs account at any time. To make a request, email [email protected].

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and hashed passwords. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

CrateSnipe is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we’ll revise the effective date above.
