Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 12, 2026

Draft prepared for review. This document should be reviewed by a lawyer before relying on it or publishing it live.

1. Who We Are

Atlas Auctions ("we," "us," or "our") operates Catalog Caddy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and who we share it with.

2. Information We Collect

WhatWhen
Email addressWhen you purchase, to create your account and send your license key
License key and account statusCredits remaining, subscription status, tied to your license
Payment informationHandled entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number
Photos you uploadSent for processing when you run image detection, see Section 3

3. How Your Photos Are Handled

When you run image detection on a lot, the selected photos are sent from the desktop application directly to our server, which forwards them to our image detection technology provider to generate a title and description. We do not store your photos on our servers. They exist only transiently during processing and are not retained afterward. Photos never leave your computer except when you actively choose to run image detection or, separately, when you export a zip file, which happens entirely on your own device and is never uploaded anywhere.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

We use the following providers to operate the Service. Each processes only the data necessary for its function:

ProviderPurpose
Image detection technology providerUsed to generate titles/descriptions from your photos
Google Firebase / FirestoreStores account records: email, license key, credit balance, subscription status
StripePayment processing and subscription billing
ResendDelivers license key and account emails
RenderHosts our backend server and website

5. How We Use Information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your photos to train any models.

6. Data Retention

We retain account records (email, license key, credit balance) for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward for support and legal purposes. Photos are not retained at all, as described in Section 3.

7. Your Rights

You can request a copy of the account information we hold about you, or request that we delete your account and associated data, by emailing catalogcaddy@outlook.com. Pennsylvania does not currently have its own comprehensive consumer privacy law, so these rights are offered as a general baseline for all customers. If we take on customers based in California, the EU, or other jurisdictions with their own specific privacy laws (like the CCPA or GDPR), this policy should be revisited to add those jurisdictions' specific requirements.

8. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect account data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) between the desktop application and our server, and access-controlled cloud infrastructure. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is intended for business use by auction professionals and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by posting the updated policy with a new effective date.
