5. Public Certificate Page Notice
Effective date: 2026-11-07 · Contact: support@gradevu.com · Privacy: privacy@gradevu.com
A GradeVu certificate page is a shareable web page showing the result of a scan. This notice explains exactly what becomes public, what stays private, and how to get a page taken down.
1. Certificate pages are off until you publish
Nothing is public by default. A scan stays private to your account until you tap Publish and confirm. Unpublishing at any time makes the page inaccessible to the public, usually immediately.
2. What becomes public when you publish
Published Not published
A certificate ID (a randomized identifier) Your email address (including Apple relay email)
The card images you choose to include Your Apple ID or account identifier
Card identity details you enter (name, set, number, year, language, variant) Your other scans and your scan history
The GradeVu estimate, sub-scores, and defect summary Your corrections history or private notes
The publish date and the model version used Your billing or subscription status
Your display name and avatar, if you have one and leave it visible Your device, IP address, or location
Any caption you write Any private comment or message
De-identified statistics in aggregate
If you leave display-name display off, the page is attributed to "Anonymous." You can turn attribution off in Settings → Privacy & Data.
3. Who can see it
Certificate pages are viewable by anyone with the link, and may be indexed by search engines unless you turn on "Hide from search engines." Turning that on asks search engines not to index the page and removes it from our own discovery surfaces; it does not remove copies others may have made.
4. What we say on every page
Every certificate page carries, prominently:
Automated estimate — not a grade. This is a computer-generated condition estimate by GradeVu. It is not a certification, appraisal, or authentication, and it is not a grade from PSA, BGS, CGC, TAG, or any other grading company. GradeVu is not affiliated with any grading company or card manufacturer. Estimates can be wrong and may change as models improve.
Do not remove, cover, or crop this notice when sharing a screenshot.
5. Takedown — how to get a page removed
(a) If it's your page. Unpublish it in the app: open the certificate → ⋯ → Unpublish. Or email support@gradevu.com with the certificate URL and subject "Unpublish." We act within 2 business days and confirm by email.
(b) If it's someone else's page and it exposes your personal information. Email support@gradevu.com with subject "Privacy Takedown," the URL, and a description of what's exposed. We aim to act within 2 business days, and we may remove first and investigate after.
(c) If it's someone else's page and it infringes your copyright or trademark. Email support@gradevu.com with subject "IP Takedown" and include:
identification of the work you say is infringed;
the exact URL of the page;
your name, address, phone, and email;
a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized;
a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner;
your physical or electronic signature.
We remove or disable access to material we determine to be infringing, notify the uploading user, and provide a counter-notice process. Repeated infringement results in account termination.
(d) If a page contains prohibited content — harassment, doxxing, fraud, counterfeits, or anything in the Community Guidelines — use the in-app Report button or email support@gradevu.com. See the Community Guidelines for response targets.
What we need to act fast: the URL, a screenshot if you have one, and a clear statement of what's wrong. Requests without a URL we cannot locate may take longer.
What we won't do: we won't take down a page simply because someone disputes an estimate. Estimates are opinions, and the appealing party should contact the page owner.
6. Your responsibilities when you publish
You are publishing it. You are the publisher of the content on your page, and you are responsible for it.
Only publish images you took and cards you own.
Get permission before including another person's name, image, or information.
Don't present a page as certification. Don't screenshot a page into a marketplace listing in a way that implies PSA, BGS, CGC, TAG, or another grader issued it.
Expect permanence. Search engines, archives, and other users may copy a page. Unpublishing stops public access through us; it does not recall copies already made.
7. Accuracy and changes
Estimates can change when we update models. If a page is regenerated, the page shows the current estimate and model version, and prior versions may be shown as history. We may unpublish, correct, or annotate a page if we find an error, a Terms violation, or a legal issue.
