Privacy Policy for 2ndGlance

Last updated: November 8, 2026

2ndGlance is made by Gathering Moss LLC. This policy says what the app collects, why, and what happens to it. Plain words, nothing hidden.

What the app does

You point your phone camera at an item in a store or at its barcode. The app sends that photo or code to our server, the server works out what the item is and what it has recently sold for, and the answer comes back to your phone with a buy, close call, or pass call based on the price on the tag in front of you.

What we collect and why

Your account. When you sign in with Apple, Apple gives us a private account identifier so we can keep your scans and your plan together. We do not get your name or your email address from Apple sign in, and we never see your Apple password.

Your scans. The photos you take for a scan, the barcodes you scan, and the words you type are sent to our server so the item can be named and priced. Your scan results and history are stored on our server under your account, so you can open a past scan again at the register or later. You can delete a scan from your history in the app, and deleting it removes it from our server.

Your photos. A scan photo is passed to an image matching service so the item can be named, and it is not kept after the scan completes. We do not keep your scan photos, and photos are never used for anything except your scan.

Your purchases. Subscriptions and scan packs are bought through the App Store. Apple processes the payment. We never see or store your card number. Our server checks your purchase with Apple, using Apple verification services, so it can switch on the plan or the scan pack you bought.

Outside services. To name an item and find what it sold for, our server sends the scan photo to an image matching service, barcode numbers to a barcode product database, and item words to a sold price data service. These services receive only what the lookup needs. Vendor keys live on our server and never inside the app.

What we do not do

We do not sell your information. We do not run advertising trackers, and the app carries no adverts. We do not build a profile of you for anyone else. We do not use your scans or photos to train anything.

Keeping and deleting

Scan history stays on our server while your account exists, so the history feature works. If you want your account and its scan history deleted, write to us at the address below and we will delete them.
