Privacy Policy for Grocemelier

We collect information only to provide and improve our services:

• Content you create: item names, descriptions, photos, ratings. This data is stored locally on your device. No personal account is required at this stage.
• Email addresses: if you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter on our website.
• Automatically collected data through Firebase services (see below).

We use the information to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain our app;
• Improve and personalize your experience;
• Understand how users interact with our features;
• Develop new features and functionality;
• Send you updates if you subscribed to our mailing list;
• Build anonymous, aggregated datasets that may be used to improve our recommendation engine (“look-alike” suggestions). These datasets never contain information that directly identifies you.

To improve performance and stability, we use Google Firebase:

• Firebase Analytics – collects anonymized and aggregated event data about app usage.
• Crashlytics – provides crash reports with technical details (no info that directly identifies you).
• Performance Monitoring – collects startup times, network latency, and similar metrics.

All data handled by Firebase is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy.

• A future free version may display ads using third-party networks.
• These networks may collect device identifiers (e.g., IDFA on iOS) and interaction data to show relevant ads.
• You can choose a paid subscription to remove ads.
• You can manage ad tracking preferences through your device settings.

• Your personal library remains on your device unless you back it up yourself.
• Email addresses are retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
• Firebase analytics and crash data are stored for the duration allowed by Google (typically up to 14 months).
• We use reasonable technical measures to protect your data, but no method is 100% secure.

If you are in the EU, UK, California, or another region with privacy rights, you may:

• Request access, correction, or deletion of your data;
• Opt out of analytics or advertising at any time;
• Withdraw consent for email communications.

To exercise these rights, email us at codivio.dev@gmail.com.

Our app and services are not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has shared information with us, please contact us so we can remove it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the new version here and update the “Last updated” date. Please refer to this page regularly to stay informed about how we protect your information.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or your data, please contact us at: codivio.dev@gmail.com
