CrateKeeper Privacy Policy
How Alexandr Korsak (Bitscorp) collects, uses, and stores data in the CrateKeeper mobile app (co.bitscorp.cratekeeper).
Privacy Policy
Effective date: 14 November 2026. I take your privacy seriously. This notice explains what CrateKeeper stores on your device, what (if anything) leaves the device, and how to contact me.
Alexandr Korsak (Bitscorp), a self-employed professional (autónomo) in Spain, operates the mobile application CrateKeeper (co.bitscorp.cratekeeper). Bitscorp is a trading name, not a registered company. This page applies to CrateKeeper on iOS and Android. The website https://bitscorp.co has a separate Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.
The app
CrateKeeper is a local-first catalog for vinyl collectors. You file the records you own, grade them, keep a want list, and check a shop find before you buy a duplicate.
Data stored on your device
- Your catalog, grades, want list, crate names, bin notes, and settings in local storage on the device.
- An optional Discogs personal token, if you paste one in Settings. The token stays on this device and is sent only to Discogs when you run a search.
Data that leaves your device
- Your catalog is not uploaded to a Bitscorp server. There is no CrateKeeper backend.
- If you search or scan a barcode, the app sends the query or barcode to the Discogs search API and may load cover images from Discogs. This happens only when you look something up.
- Listen links open a search in apps or sites you already use (for example Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube Music). Those services then follow their own policies.
- If you export a catalog or send feedback, you choose what leaves the device.
- Purchase and subscription status are handled by Apple or Google and RevenueCat, as described below.
Permissions
- Camera (optional): used to scan vinyl barcodes. You can enter releases manually without the camera.
You can change or withdraw permissions in the operating system settings.
Analytics and crash reporting
CrateKeeper does not include a third-party analytics or crash-reporting SDK. I do not run Mixpanel, Google Analytics, Firebase, Sentry, or a similar product inside this app. The stores and RevenueCat may keep their own purchase or install records under their policies.
Third parties
I only involve the parties below for the purposes stated. Each has its own privacy policy.
- RevenueCat: To check and restore your Pro entitlement. RevenueCat receives purchase tokens, subscription status, and an anonymous app user identifier. It does not receive the journal, photos, files, or other content you keep in the app.
- Apple: If you buy or manage a subscription or a lifetime purchase on the App Store, Apple processes the payment. We do not receive your full payment card number.
- Google: If you buy or manage a subscription or a lifetime purchase on Google Play, Google processes the payment. We do not receive your full payment number.
- Discogs: Optional release search and barcode lookup. The request may include your search text or barcode and, if you added one, your personal Discogs token.
Accounts, servers, and retention
No Bitscorp server. Catalog search uses Discogs only when you look a release up.
CrateKeeper does not require a Bitscorp account. Information stored only on your device remains there until you delete it in the app or uninstall the app. Purchase records are kept by Apple or Google and by RevenueCat for as long as they need them to provide the subscription. If you email me, I keep the message long enough to respond and then delete it when it is no longer needed.
Your rights
Because most CrateKeeper content never leaves your device, the practical way to access or delete it is in the app, or by uninstalling the app (which removes local data). For any personal data I hold in email, or questions about purchase records, write to alex@bitscorp.co. If you live in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region with similar rights, you may also request access, correction, deletion, or a restriction of processing of personal data I hold, and you may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. In Spain that authority is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD).
International processing
I am based in Spain. Apple, Google, and RevenueCat may process purchase data in other countries. Their policies describe those transfers.
Changes to this policy
This Privacy Policy is effective as of 14 November 2026. I may update it from time to time. The current version will always be at https://bitscorp.co/cratekeeper/privacy. Material changes will be reflected on this page, and I may also note them in the app.
