Privacy

Last updated November 1, 2026

Vantage is an iPhone app for tracking the sneakers, apparel and collectibles you own and what they're worth. It's built so we know as little about you as possible. This page explains what that means in practice.

The short version

• No account. You never sign up, and we don't know your name, email or phone number.
• Your inventory stays in your iCloud. Items, purchases, sales, expenses, your watchlist and alerts live on your iPhone and sync through your private iCloud database. We can't read it.
• No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Vantage has no advertising or analytics SDKs, and we never sell or share data.

What's on your iPhone and in iCloud

Everything you enter: items, sizes, costs, stores, order numbers, sales, fees, expenses, the products you watch and your price alerts. It's stored with Apple's SwiftData and synced through CloudKit to your private iCloud database, which only your Apple ID can access. Delete All Data in More → Account removes it from your devices and iCloud.

What our server sees

To show market prices, the app talks to our server at api.vantageinventory.app, which looks prices up from marketplace data. To do that it receives:

• The products and sizes you own, watch or open, so it can return their prices. Products anyone has looked up are kept fresh in our shared price database, which isn't tied to you or your device.
• Barcodes and style codes you scan, to find the product. Only the code is sent, never the picture.
• Search terms you type into Search, cached so the next search for the same thing is instant.
• An App Attest key id. Apple's App Attest lets our server check that requests come from the real Vantage app on a real iPhone. The key id is a random identifier for your installation of the app; we use it to verify requests and to limit how many live lookups one install can make a day. It isn't linked to your Apple ID or to anything that identifies you.
• Share cards. When you open a product, the app may upload a picture of that product's share card (photo, name, release date, retail). It contains nothing about you.

Our server runs on Cloudflare, which processes requests (including IP addresses) to deliver and protect the service, under its own privacy policy. We don't keep IP addresses in our database.

Notifications and reminders

Price alerts and release reminders are scheduled and checked on your iPhone. Nothing about them is sent to us.

Camera

The camera is only used, with your permission, to scan a box label when you add an item. Images are read on your iPhone and never uploaded.

Children

Vantage isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect anything from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date above.
