Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
This policy explains what the Shopping List & Recipe Keeper app (the "app") collects, why, who can see it, and how you can delete it. The app is made by Greyson Lynn, an independent developer ("we", "us"). Questions: see our Support page.
What we collect
- Your account: the email address and name you sign in with (Apple, Google, or email and password), and a profile photo if you add one.
- Your lists: your categories and items, what is on your shopping list, the shopping lists you save, and any amounts, prices and notes you type.
- Your recipes: names, servings, ingredients, instructions, recipe categories, and the link to the original page if you add or import one.
- Settings: whether you prefer US or metric measures.
- Purchases: the date you started the free trial and whether you have unlocked the app. Payment is handled by Apple or Google; we never see your card details.
- Messages to us: what you send when you email support.
The camera and recipe links
- Reading a price: when you tap the camera button, the app takes one picture of the shelf tag and reads the numbers on your phone using Google's ML Kit. The picture is deleted as soon as it's read. It is never saved to your photo library and never sent to us or anyone else. Only the price you tap is kept, in the item.
- Importing from a link: the app opens the web page you paste, from your phone, the same way your browser would, and reads the recipe on it. That website sees an ordinary visit from your phone.
What we don't do
- No advertising, and no advertising ID.
- No analytics or tracking of you across other companies' apps or websites.
- No selling or renting of your information, and no sharing it for marketing.
How we use it
Only to run the app for you: to keep your lists and recipes, show them on each phone you sign in on, keep working without signal, unlock your purchase, and answer your support requests.
Who can see your information
- You: your lists and recipes are private to your account. Nothing is shared unless you share it yourself with the Share screen.
- Service providers that run the app for us: Google Firebase (sign-in, the database and file storage, on Google Cloud servers in the United States); RevenueCat (keeps track of your trial and unlock); Apple and Google (sign-in and in-app purchases); and Google ML Kit, which runs on your phone and may send Google basic technical information about how the price reader performs, but never the picture or the text it reads. They process the information only to provide their service.
- Us: only when needed to keep the app running or to help when you contact support.
- The law: if a valid legal request requires it.
How long we keep it, and deleting it
We keep your lists and recipes for as long as you have an account. You can delete your account at any time in the app (☰ menu → Profile → Danger zone → Delete account), or by email. See Delete your account for the steps and what is removed. Deleted data is removed from our systems within 30 days.
Your choices
- You can see, change and delete your items, categories and recipes in the app at any time.
- You can turn off camera permission in your phone's settings. You can still type prices yourself.
- You can ask us for a copy of your information, or to correct or delete it, through our Support page.
Children
The app is not directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.
Security
Information travels between the app and our servers encrypted. Security rules on our database let each account read and change only its own lists and recipes. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and keep it to what the app needs.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top and, for important changes, tell you in the app.
