Privacy Policy

01Information we collect

Account information. When you create an account we collect your email address and an authentication credential managed by our backend provider (Supabase). We do not store passwords in plain text.

Pantry and grocery data. Items you add to your pantry or grocery list — including product names, categories, quantities, and barcode numbers — are stored in our database so the App can function.

Barcode lookups. When you scan a barcode, the barcode number is sent to a third-party product-data provider (Barcodelookup) to retrieve product details such as name, category, and image. We do not send any personal information to this provider.

AI meal recommendations. The App includes an optional chat feature that suggests meals based on what is in your pantry, using a third-party artificial-intelligence service. When you use this feature, we send the messages you type and the contents of your pantry — the names, quantities, and categories of your food items — to our AI provider so it can generate a response. We do not send your name, email address, or account identifiers. We ask for your permission inside the App before any of this data is sent, the first time you use the chat feature; if you do not agree, the feature stays off and none of this data is sent. The rest of the App continues to work normally. See “Data sharing” below for who receives this information.

Device and usage analytics. We may collect anonymized usage analytics and crash reports through industry-standard tools (e.g., error monitoring or analytics SDKs) to improve app stability and user experience. These tools may collect device type, operating system version, app version, and anonymized interaction data. In addition, when you use the AI chat feature, the content of those conversations (your messages and the AI’s responses) is logged with our analytics provider so we can monitor and improve the quality of the AI suggestions.

02How we use your information

• To provide and maintain the App’s core features (pantry management, grocery lists, barcode scanning).
• To generate AI meal suggestions when you choose to use the chat feature.
• To authenticate your account and keep your data synced across sessions.
• To diagnose bugs, monitor performance, and improve the App, including the quality of AI suggestions.

03Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Data is shared only with:

• Supabase — our backend and database provider, which stores your account and pantry data.
• Barcodelookup — receives barcode numbers (not personal data) to return product information.
• OpenRouter, Inc. — when you use the AI chat feature, receives your messages and pantry contents and routes the request to an underlying AI model provider (for example, Anthropic) to generate your meal suggestion. These providers process this data only to produce your response, not for advertising.
• Analytics providers — may receive anonymized usage data and, for the AI chat feature, the content of your conversations so we can monitor and improve quality.

We require these third parties to provide protections for your data consistent with this Privacy Policy. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users.

04Data storage and security

Your data is stored on servers managed by Supabase, which employs industry-standard encryption and access controls. We use row-level security policies to ensure users can only access their own data. While we take reasonable measures to protect your information, no system is 100% secure.

05Your rights and choices

Account deletion. You may request deletion of your account and all associated data by contacting us at the email below. We will process deletion requests within 30 days.

Data access. You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you by contacting us.

06Children’s privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

07Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
