Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 12, 2026

The short version: Curbie has no accounts. To read a sign, we send your photo to our server and to our AI provider, Anthropic. We don't keep your photo after the scan, we don't sell data, and we don't track you across apps or websites.

Who we are

Curbie is made by Quantfi Oy (business ID 3669967-7), Jyväskylä, Finland. We are the data controller for the data described here. Contact: support@getcurbie.com.

What we collect, and why

Data	Why	How long
Sign photo you scan	To read the sign. Sent to our server and then to Anthropic's Claude AI.	Not stored by us. Discarded once the answer is sent back.
Local time, weekday and time zone	To apply the sign's rules to right now.	Not stored.
City, region and country (only if you allow location)	To apply local parking conventions. Your phone turns your location into a city name; precise coordinates are never sent to us.	Not stored.
Precise location (only if you allow it)	To show where you parked with "Find Car".	Stays on your phone until you end parking.
A random device ID	To count your free and Pro scans. It isn't linked to your name, email or Apple ID.	While you use Curbie; ask us to delete it anytime.
Scan counts and plan (free or Pro, renewal date)	To enforce scan limits.	While you use Curbie.
IP address	To stop abuse of free scans (a daily limit per network).	Kept only for the current day.
Purchase status	To unlock Pro. Payments are handled by Apple or Google; we never see your card.	While your subscription is active and as long as accounting law requires.
Email address (only if you join the waitlist on this website)	To email you when Curbie launches.	Until launch plus 3 months, or until you ask us to delete it.

Who we share it with

Anthropic (Claude AI) receives the sign photo, time and city to read the sign. Under its commercial terms, Anthropic does not use this data to train its models and keeps it only for a limited period for safety and abuse monitoring.
Amazon Web Services hosts our server in the United States.
RevenueCat confirms App Store and Google Play subscriptions using the random device ID.
Apple and Google process payments under their own privacy policies.

We don't sell or rent personal data, and we don't use advertising or tracking SDKs.

Transfers outside the EU

Our server and providers are in the United States. Transfers rely on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, as applicable.

Legal basis

We process scan data to provide the service you ask for (performance of a contract), anti-abuse data on the basis of our legitimate interest in keeping free scans available, and waitlist emails with your consent, which you can withdraw anytime.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, object to processing, or get a copy of it. Email support@getcurbie.com. Because Curbie has no accounts, we'll reply with simple steps to identify your device's records. You can also complain to the Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman (tietosuoja.fi) or your local authority.

Children

Curbie isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date above. Big changes will also be shown in the app.
