Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Odin collects, why, and what you can do about it. Odin is operated from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and follows Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). Our privacy officer can be reached at support@odinscanner.com.

1. What we collect from you - Account: your email address, and your name if you sign in with Apple or Google and they share it. If you sign in with email, your password is stored encrypted by our sign-in provider; we never see it. - Your settings: your sign-up town, your radars (place, radius, makes and models, price, year and mileage limits, filters), your profit margin and your notification choices. - Your activity in Odin: the cars you save, hide, open or flag, the alerts sent to you and your "Evaluate with AI" requests. - Location, only if you allow it: when you tap "My location" to set a radar's place, or to show how far cars are. A radar keeps the town or spot you picked; we don't track or store your movements. You can turn location off anytime in your phone's settings. - Device: the codes your phone gives us to deliver notifications and the Dynamic Island radar, and your app version. - Purchases: Apple handles payment in the app. We receive only your plan and its trial and renewal dates (through RevenueCat), never your card. On our website, payments go through Stripe. - What you send us: support emails, and the beta sign-up form on our website (email, name, city, phone type, what you do and, if you give it, your Instagram name).

2. Vehicle listings and sellers To find deals, Odin reads vehicle ads that sellers have posted publicly on other websites: the title, price, description, vehicle details, approximate location, posting time and links to the photos. Photos are shown from the original website's own links; we don't copy them. We don't keep sellers' names or links to their profiles. To recognise a seller who posts many vehicles (usually a dealer), we keep only a one-way code made from the website's seller number, which can't be turned back into it, and a note of whether the seller's name looked like a business. We use listing information only to value vehicles, spot risks such as dealers, reposts or scams, and show the ad to our users with a link to the original. If you posted an ad and want it removed from Odin, email us the link; we'll remove it, usually within 7 days.

3. How we use information - To run Odin: your feed, market values, alerts, radars and the Dynamic Island radar. - To manage your plan and answer your messages. - To keep the Service secure and prevent abuse. - To improve our estimates, using listing data and combined, non-identifying usage statistics.

We don't sell personal information, we don't show ads, and we don't track you across other apps or websites.

4. Artificial intelligence To check some vehicles, we send the listing's photos and description to an AI service (Anthropic). We don't send your personal information, and our provider's terms don't allow it to use this data to train its models.

5. Emails and notifications We send emails needed for your account (such as sign-in links and password resets). We send marketing emails only if you've agreed, and every one has an unsubscribe link, as Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) requires. Deal alerts are sent as phone notifications, which you can turn off in the app or in your phone's settings.

6. Service providers and where information is stored We use providers to run Odin, under contracts that require them to protect your information and use it only for us: - Supabase: database and sign-in (stored in the United States). - Vercel: our website. - RevenueCat: subscription status. - Apple: App Store payments, Sign in with Apple and notifications. Google: Google sign-in. - Expo: delivering notifications and app updates. - Anthropic: the AI checks of listings (listing content only). - Stripe: website payments.

Most of these providers are in the United States, so your information is stored and processed there, where the authorities may be able to access it under US law.

7. How long we keep information We keep your account information until you delete your account. Deleting it (Settings → Delete account) removes your account, radars, alerts and saved cars from our database right away; copies in our database provider's backups are gone within 30 days. Our systems' error logs, which can mention the account or listing involved, are kept for 14 days. Listing information is kept while it helps us value vehicles.

8. Your choices and rights You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, have it corrected, or have it deleted, and you can withdraw your consent (for example, by turning off notifications or location). Email support@odinscanner.com; we'll answer within 30 days. If you're not satisfied, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (priv.gc.ca) or the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta (oipc.ab.ca).

9. Security Connections to Odin are encrypted, access rules let each account see only its own information, and only we can access the systems that run Odin. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach puts you at real risk of significant harm, we'll tell you and the Privacy Commissioner, as the law requires.

10. Children Odin is for adults 18 and over. We don't knowingly collect information from children.

11. Changes We'll update the date at the top when this policy changes and tell you in the app or by email about important changes.
