Valuable.app Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
Alpha Version. ​Effective Date: 11/13/2024
1. Data Ownership
User Data: You, the user, own all the data you upload or generate within Valuable.app, including but not limited to photos, descriptions, and valuation estimates (even if generated by AI). This aligns with the data ownership policies of OpenAI, Google Cloud, and FlutterFlow.
​
Content Rights: Valuable.app does not claim ownership of your content. However, by using the app, you grant us a limited license to store, process, and display your content as necessary for the app's functionality. This license is required to operate the app and provide you with services.
​
​
2. Privacy and Security
Data Security: We take the security of your data seriously and use Google Cloud's infrastructure, which includes Firebase, Firestore, and Firestore Storage, to store and process your data securely. Additionally, we utilize BuildShip for backend workflow management and FlutterFlow for front-end hosting and management. All these platforms follow industry-standard security protocols, including encryption of data at rest and in transit. However, please note that no system can be entirely foolproof, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
​
Access Control: For this alpha version, all content related to your assets is accessible only to you. We do not share your content with any third parties without your explicit consent, in accordance with the privacy policies of Google Cloud, OpenAI, BuildShip, and FlutterFlow.
​
​
3. Use of AI
AI-Generated Content: The app uses AI via OpenAI (through BuildShip) to generate names, descriptions, and valuation estimates for your items. While we strive for accuracy, AI-generated content may not always be accurate or reliable, and you should not rely solely on it for important decisions. OpenAI processes your data under strict guidelines that ensure your data is not used for training purposes unless explicitly agreed otherwise.
​
AI Data Use: Photos and item details are sent to OpenAI for processing via workflows managed by BuildShip. OpenAI’s terms ensure that your data remains under your ownership and is not used for training their models. However, we cannot guarantee the compliance of third-party vendors with our privacy standards, though we strive to partner only with those that uphold rigorous security measures.
​
​
4. Data Storage and Processing
Google Cloud Services, FlutterFlow, and BuildShip: Your data is stored and processed using Google Cloud services, managed through BuildShip's visual backend workflows, and hosted via FlutterFlow for the front-end. These services follow stringent privacy and security protocols as outlined in their respective terms and policies. You can refer to Google’s Privacy Policy, OpenAI’s Terms, FlutterFlow's Privacy Policy, and BuildShip Documentation for more information.
​
Data Location: Your data may be stored in data centers located in various regions, as per the data storage policies of Google Cloud, OpenAI, and FlutterFlow.
​
​
5. Limitation of Liability
Alpha Testing Limitation: This is an alpha version of the app, intended for hypothesis testing and receiving feedback. You understand that the app may have bugs, incomplete features, and limitations. Valuable.app is provided "as is," and we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the app during this phase. This limitation is consistent with the terms provided by OpenAI, Google Cloud, and FlutterFlow.
​
​
6. Service Discontinuation
Service Availability: You acknowledge that Valuable.app is an alpha service and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time, with or without notice. We strongly recommend that you regularly back up any photos, descriptions, and other content you upload to the app, as we cannot guarantee that your data will remain accessible or recoverable in the event of service discontinuation.
​
​
7. Indemnification
By User: You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Valuable.app, its affiliates, and partners (including Google Cloud, OpenAI, BuildShip, and FlutterFlow) against any liabilities, damages, and costs arising from your use of the app in violation of this agreement. This includes, but is not limited to, any violation of third-party rights or misuse of the app's features.
​
​
8. Dispute Resolution
Arbitration: Any disputes arising from the use of Valuable.app will be resolved through binding arbitration, consistent with the dispute resolution procedures outlined by OpenAI, Google Cloud, and FlutterFlow. This includes a waiver of the right to participate in class actions.
​
​
9. Changes to the Terms
Updates: We may update these terms from time to time as we prepare for future versions of the app. We will notify you of any significant changes, and continued use of the app will constitute your acceptance of the revised terms.
