We don't collect anything.

What Planchet stores, and where

Everything Planchet knows about your collection — coins, valuations, photographs, documents, collections, and generated reports — is stored locally on your Mac, inside the app's own storage and in files you choose to save. There is no Planchet account, no login, and no Planchet server. We have no ability to see your collection, because it is never sent to us.

Data we collect

None. Planchet does not collect, transmit, sell, or share personal data. Specifically, Planchet contains:

• No analytics or telemetry. We do not track how you use the app.
• No advertising and no advertising identifiers.
• No third-party trackers or SDKs.
• No crash reporting to us. If you have opted in to Apple's system-level diagnostics, Apple may share anonymised crash data with developers under Apple's own privacy policy — that is a setting you control in macOS, not something Planchet enables.
• No account, email address, or personal information is requested or required to use the app.

When Planchet connects to the internet

Planchet works fully offline. It makes a network request only when you ask it to look something up — for example, when you use the certification lookup to fetch details for a coin's certification number from a grading service's public API.

In that case, the certification number you entered is sent to that third party solely to perform the lookup you requested. Your collection is never included — only the specific identifier needed for that one query. Those services have their own privacy policies, which govern their handling of the request.

If you never use the lookup features, Planchet makes no network requests at all.

API keys and the Keychain

If you supply your own API token for a pricing or certification service, it is stored in your Mac's Keychain — the system's encrypted credential store — and is used only to authenticate your own requests to that service. It is never transmitted to us.

Your photographs

Photographs you add to coins are stored on your Mac at full resolution, exactly as you provided them, along with their embedded capture metadata. They are not uploaded, not analysed remotely, and not shared. Optical character recognition of slab labels happens entirely on your device, using macOS's built-in Vision framework.

Purchases

Planchet is a one-time purchase. If you buy it from the Mac App Store, the transaction is handled by Apple, and Apple's privacy policy applies to that purchase. We never see your payment details. We do not receive your name, email address, or billing information from Apple.

Children

Planchet is a general-purpose cataloging tool and is not directed at children. Because it collects no data whatsoever, it collects no data from children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes, the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date. Because Planchet's design principle is that your records are yours, any future change would be in the direction of collecting less, not more.
