Who We Are
HiddenFlame ("we", "us", or "our"), a company, operates the Numisma mobile application available on iOS and Android. Numisma is a coin collector's companion app that enables users to scan and identify coins using AI, browse an extensive coin catalogue, manage personal collections, track coin valuations, and explore an interactive world map of coin origins.
For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"), HiddenFlame acts as the Data Controller for personal data collected through the Numisma application.

Data We Collect
Account Information
When you register for a Numisma account, we collect:
- Full name or display name
- Email address
- Password (stored in hashed, non-recoverable form)
Photos & Media
To use the coin scanning and identification feature, you may grant the app access to your device's camera or photo library. Images you submit for AI identification are processed to detect and classify the coin. Coin photos are stored in two places:
- Locally on your device — as part of your personal collection record
- On our servers (Supabase) — to synchronise your collection across devices and back up your data
Photos are associated with your account and retained for as long as your account is active or until you delete the individual coin record.
User-Generated Content
Information you enter manually, including collection names, coin details, personal notes, and valuations you associate with coins in your collection.
Usage & Analytics Data
We collect anonymised and pseudonymised usage data via PostHog (self-hosted within the EU) to understand how users interact with the app. This may include:
- Features accessed and frequency of use
- Device type, operating system, and app version
- Session duration and navigation patterns
- Crash reports and performance metrics
PostHog analytics data does not include coin images or personal collection details.
Data You Do Not Have to Provide
Coin details can always be entered manually — use of the AI scanning feature and camera access is entirely optional.

Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)
Under the GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)): Processing your account information and collection data is necessary to provide the Numisma service you have signed up for.
- Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): Anonymised analytics help us improve the app. We have balanced our interests against your rights and concluded this processing is proportionate.
- Legal Obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): We may retain certain data to comply with Polish and EU legal requirements.
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): Where we ask for your explicit consent (e.g., camera access for coin scanning), you may withdraw it at any time via your device settings without affecting prior processing.
Age Restriction
Numisma is intended for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 18. If you are under 18, please do not use the app or provide any personal information.
If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a person under 18, we will delete that data promptly. If you believe this has occurred, please contact us at contact@intripp.com.
Third-Party Services
We use a limited set of third-party services to operate Numisma:
PostHog (Analytics)
We use PostHog Cloud for product analytics. PostHog is a third-party service operated by PostHog, Inc. Anonymised usage data (events, device info, session data) may be processed on PostHog's infrastructure under Standard Contractual Clauses ensuring GDPR-compliant transfers. PostHog does not receive your name, email address, coin photos, or collection contents. For more information, see posthog.com/privacy.
Supabase (Database & Storage)
We use Supabase as our backend database and file storage provider. Your account data, collection records, and coin photos are stored on Supabase infrastructure configured within the European Union.

Downloading the app through Apple's App Store or Google Play is subject to their respective privacy policies. We do not receive your payment information from either platform.
We do not use Facebook/Meta, Google Ads, AppsFlyer, or any other advertising or tracking SDK. No data is shared with advertisers.

All personal data collected by Numisma is stored on servers located within the European Economic Area (EEA) — via Supabase (EU region). Analytics data processed by PostHog Cloud may be transferred outside the EEA under Standard Contractual Clauses as required by GDPR Art. 46.
Data at rest is encrypted. Data in transit is protected using TLS 1.2 or higher.
