This Privacy Policy explains how Flip Profit (UK) ("we", "our", "us") collects, uses, discloses, retains, and safeguards your personal data when you use the Flip Profit (UK) mobile application and website (flip-profit.com), our UK reseller profit calculator service.

1. Types of Personal Data We Collect
Account data: When you create an account we collect your email address and the full name you provide. If you sign in with Google we receive the email address and name associated with that Google account.
Calculation data you enter: To provide the calculator and history features we store the values you input, including product name, purchase price, selling price, postage cost, other costs, selling platform (eBay, Vinted, Etsy, Facebook Marketplace), and item condition. These records are linked to your account and stored in our database.
Payment and subscription data: Subscription billing is processed by Stripe. We store your subscription status and plan; Stripe stores and processes your card details. We never receive or store your full card number, CVV, or full card details.
Device and usage data: We may collect limited analytics about how you use the app (such as app version, event counts, and crash reports) to monitor performance and improve features.
Permissions data: If you grant access, Flip Profit (UK) may use your device camera solely for the in-app barcode scanning feature. Images captured by the scanner are processed on-device to identify the product and are not uploaded to our servers or stored after the scan completes.
