Privacy

You can browse Worth Buy In without an account. This page explains what we collect when you use the site, and why.

If you create an account

• Sign-in: your name and email from Google or Apple, so we can keep your portfolio for you.
• My Portfolio: the devices you add, what you paid, purchase dates, condition, notes and photos. Your portfolio is private to you.
• Photos: before a photo is stored we remove hidden data such as location (it's removed in your browser and again on our servers). Only you can see your photos.

Price reports

If you report a price, we store the product, price, condition, date, any link you add, and your account id. Our team checks reports before they count. Reports are never shown with your name.

Ask

We keep a log of questions asked (with email addresses and phone numbers removed) and which products they matched, to improve answers. We don't store your account or IP address with it. To limit abuse we count questions per IP address using a one-way hash, not the address itself. When AI answers are switched on, your question and our product data are sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) to write the answer.

Photo identification

If you choose to identify a device from a photo, the photo (with hidden data already removed) is sent to Anthropic for that purpose only.

Cookies

• __session: keeps you signed in. Essential.
• wbi_signed_in: lets the page header show “Account”. Contains no personal data.

We don't use advertising cookies or sell your data. [Analytics: to be decided before launch.]

Error logs

When something breaks we log the error and the page address, without your account, IP address or query details.

Who processes data for us

Google (Firebase and Google Cloud) hosts the site and stores data. Anthropic processes Ask questions and photo identification when those are switched on.

Your choices

You can edit or remove any portfolio item, and “Delete my data” on My Portfolio removes your portfolio, photos and account details. Price reports you sent are kept but unlinked from you.
