Grocery Guru Privacy Policy

Introduction:

When using Grocery Guru, you trust us with your personal data. We’re committed to keeping that trust. That starts with helping you understand our privacy practices.

This privacy policy outlines the information we collect and how it is used and shared. It is recommended that you read this policy to be fully knowledgeable in how your data is managed and used.

Data Collected:

Barcode Data: When you use the App to scan barcodes of items in your pantry and fridge, we collect data about those items including expiration dates.

Usage Data: We may collect information about how you use the Grocery Guru to better the app experience, including interactions with features and preferences selected.

Camera Permissions: When using the camera feature to scan barcodes, Grocery Guru may request access to your device's camera. This enables us to collect barcode information, including product identification and expiration dates, to improve app functionality and user experience.

Third-Party Login (e.g., Facebook, Google, Instagram, etc.): You have the option to log in to Grocery Guru using your Facebook or Instagram account. By choosing this login method, you authorize us to access and collect certain information from your Facebook or Instagram profile as necessary for account creation and authentication purposes. This may include your name, email address, profile picture, and other information depending on your privacy settings.

Data Security: We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We reserve the right to update or change this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised Privacy Policy on the App. Your continued use of the App after we post any modifications to the Privacy Policy will constitute your acknowledgment of the modifications and your consent to abide and be bound by the modified Privacy Policy.
