Stickr Trackr — Legal

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Stickr Trackr (“we,” “us,” or “the App”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile application. By using Stickr Trackr you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the minimum information needed to run the app and let you trade stickers with other collectors.

Account information

• Email address (from email/password sign-up, Sign in with Apple, or Sign in with Google).
• Username you choose at sign-up.
• Optional payment-method handles you choose to store (Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, Apple Cash). These are stored on your user profile and only revealed to another user when you tap "Share" on the payment type inside a chat.

Activity you create

• Listings you post (sticker code, price, condition, photos, location, and trade preferences).
• Bids and trade proposals you make on other users' listings.
• Messages, including text, payment-handle shares, and photos you attach to chats.
• Stickers you mark as "missing" from your album.

Device and usage data

• Approximate location (city, state, country, latitude/longitude) attached to listings you create, plus your device's current location while the app is open if you grant permission.
• Diagnostic and crash data that Apple and our service providers collect to keep the app running.

2. How We Use Information

• To run the core functionality: showing nearby listings, delivering your messages, processing bids and trade proposals, and tracking your in-app token balance.
• To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
• To enforce our Terms of Service and respond to reports of abuse or fraud.
• To improve the app, fix bugs, and develop new features.
• To comply with applicable law.

3. How Information Is Shared

We share information only in the limited ways below. We do not sell your personal data.

• With other users. Your username, profile city/state, listings, bids, trade proposals, and chat messages (including any photos or payment handles you share) are visible to the users you interact with.
• With service providers. We use Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore, Cloud Storage) to host your data and Apple/Google for sign-in. These providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy policies.
• For legal reasons. We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of users or the public.
• In the event of a business transfer. If the app is acquired, merged, or otherwise transferred, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. Third-Party Services

The app integrates with the following third parties. Their handling of your data is governed by their own policies.

• Firebase (Google LLC) — account auth, database, file storage. firebase.google.com/support/privacy
• Sign in with Apple — authentication. apple.com/legal/privacy
• Sign in with Google — authentication. policies.google.com/privacy
• Apple StoreKit — in-app token purchases. Purchases are processed by Apple; we do not receive your payment card information.

5. Location, Camera & Photos

The app requests permissions only for features that need them. You can revoke any permission in iOS Settings at any time without losing your account.

• Location (when in use). Used to calculate distance between you and listings, and to attach a city/state to listings you post. We never track your location in the background.
• Camera. Used only when you tap "Camera" in a chat to attach a photo.
• Photo library. Used only when you tap "Photos" in a chat to attach an image.

Photos you attach to chats are resized and re-encoded before upload. Image files are stored in Firebase Cloud Storage and accessible to the participants of the chat where you shared them.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account exists. Listings, bids, trades, and chat messages are retained as long as the parent listing or chat exists, or as needed to enforce our Terms or comply with law. You can delete your account at any time by contacting us; doing so will remove your profile and the content tied to it, except where retention is required for legal or fraud-prevention reasons.

7. Your Rights and Choices

• Access, correct, or delete information stored on your account.
• Remove payment handles from your profile at any time inside the Payment Methods sheet.
• Withdraw permissions for location, camera, or photo library via iOS Settings.
• Close your account by contacting us at the address below.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws like the GDPR (EU/UK), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), or similar legislation. To exercise those rights, contact us using the details in the Contact section.

8. Children's Privacy

Stickr Trackr is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under that age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. Security

We rely on Firebase and Apple-provided infrastructure to keep data encrypted in transit and at rest. No system is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Use a strong password (or use Sign in with Apple/Google) and report any suspected unauthorized access to your account immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be highlighted inside the app or announced at the email associated with your account. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the latest version took effect.

Questions or requests about this Privacy Policy can be sent to garsontech@gmail.com.

Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) form a binding agreement between you and Stickr Trackr. Please read them carefully — especially the sections about Platform-Only Service, No Responsibility for Transactions, and Limitation of Liability.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using Stickr Trackr you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Stickr Trackr. By signing up, you represent that you meet the minimum age requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. Stickr Trackr is intended for personal, non-commercial use.

3. Your Account

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at garsontech@gmail.com if you suspect unauthorized access. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Platform-Only Service — No Payments, No Shipping

Stickr Trackr is a platform that lets collectors find each other and communicate. We do not:

• process, hold, or transfer any payment between users;
• provide escrow, refunds, or chargebacks for user-to-user exchanges;
• ship, fulfill, deliver, store, inspect, authenticate, grade, or insure stickers or any other physical goods;
• verify the identity, ownership, condition, or authenticity of any sticker or item described in a listing or message; or
• guarantee that a buyer, seller, or trade partner will follow through on what they say they will do.

Any payment, shipment, in-person hand-off, or other exchange happens directly between you and the other user, using methods you each choose (cash, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, Apple Cash, postal mail, in-person meet-up, etc.). Those methods are governed by their own providers' terms, not by Stickr Trackr.

5. No Responsibility for Transactions, Scams, or Losses

You acknowledge and agree that:

• Stickr Trackr is not a party to any transaction between users and has no role in resolving disputes between them.
• We make no warranties about the identity, trustworthiness, or conduct of other users, or the existence, condition, ownership, or value of stickers offered through the app.
• We are not responsible for any loss, damage, theft, fraud, scam, identity impersonation, non-delivery, misdelivery, counterfeit item, payment chargeback, dispute, claim, or injury arising from your interactions with another user, whether the exchange takes place in person, by mail, online, or otherwise.
• You assume all risk of using the app to arrange exchanges with strangers. We strongly recommend using buyer/seller protection features offered by the payment method you choose, verifying items before paying, and meeting in public places for in-person hand-offs.

If another user defrauds you, fails to deliver, sends a counterfeit, or otherwise harms you, your remedies are against that user (and any applicable payment provider, postal service, or law-enforcement authority) — not against Stickr Trackr.

6. Listings, Bids, Trades, and Messages

• You may post a listing only for a sticker you actually own and are entitled to sell or trade.
• Listing details (price, condition, photos, location, trade preferences) must be accurate and truthful.
• Auction-style listings are closed manually by the listing owner accepting a bid. We do not run auctions, hold funds, or enforce winning-bid commitments.
• Trade proposals and bids are indications of interest. Acceptance of a bid or trade does not create a contract enforced by Stickr Trackr; it only signals that the seller is willing to proceed off-platform.
• Messages, including photos and payment-handle shares, are sent at your own discretion. Once you share a phone number, payment handle, address, or other identifier with another user, we cannot retrieve it.

7. User Conduct

You agree not to:

• impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity, age, or location;
• list counterfeit, stolen, or otherwise illegally-obtained items;
• use the app to defraud, harass, threaten, stalk, dox, or harm another user;
• collect or harvest personal data from other users;
• spam, post unsolicited advertising, or use the app for commercial purposes outside the intended sticker-trading use;
• interfere with the security or operation of the app, attempt to reverse-engineer it, or use automated means to access it;
• upload content that infringes a third party's intellectual property or is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit, hateful, or otherwise objectionable.

We may remove content, suspend accounts, or terminate access for any violation, at our sole discretion and without notice.

8. User Content

You retain ownership of the listings, photos, messages, and other content you submit (“Your Content”). By submitting Your Content you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, display, reproduce, and transmit Your Content for the purpose of operating the app. You are solely responsible for Your Content and confirm that you have all rights necessary to grant this license.

9. Tokens and In-App Purchases

The app uses an in-app virtual currency ("tokens") that you can earn or purchase via Apple's StoreKit. Tokens are a limited license to use in-app features; they have no monetary value, are not redeemable for cash, and are non-transferable and non-refundable except where required by law or by Apple's policies. All purchases are processed by Apple and are subject to Apple's Media Services Terms. Refund requests for in-app purchases should be directed to Apple.

10. Intellectual Property

The Stickr Trackr name, app, source code, design, and original content are owned by us and protected by intellectual-property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our trademarks, logos, or copyrighted material without prior written permission.

11. No Affiliation with Panini, FIFA, or Sponsors

Stickr Trackr is an independent fan-made tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise officially connected with Panini S.p.A., FIFA, any national football association, the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football, or any other rights-holder associated with the FIFA World Cup. Trademarks, team names, player names, and country names that appear in the app are the property of their respective owners and are referenced only for the purpose of allowing collectors to identify the stickers they own or seek.

12. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using the app at any time and request account deletion by emailing us. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or that your activity poses risk to other users or to us. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will continue to apply, including Sections 4 (Platform-Only), 5 (No Responsibility), 13 (Disclaimers), 14 (Limitation of Liability), 15 (Indemnification), and 17 (Governing Law and Disputes).

13. Disclaimers

THE APP IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT OTHER USERS, ANY LISTING, OR ANY EXCHANGE ARRANGED THROUGH THE APP.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL STICKR TRACKR, ITS OWNERS, OR ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, STICKERS, OR ANY OTHER LOSSES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE APP, OR TO ANY TRANSACTION, COMMUNICATION, OR INTERACTION WITH ANOTHER USER, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

WHERE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT PERMITTED IN FULL, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR IN-APP PURCHASES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US $50).

15. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Stickr Trackr and its owners from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the app, Your Content, your interactions with other users, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

16. Changes to Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be highlighted inside the app or sent to the email on your account. By continuing to use the app after a change takes effect you accept the revised Terms.

17. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of State of New Jersey, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the app will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of New Jersey, and you and Stickr Trackr each consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. To the extent permitted by law, both parties waive any right to a jury trial and any right to participate in a class action.
