Privacy Policy

1. Data we collect

• Google account info (only if you sign in with Google): email, display name and avatar. We never see your Google password.
• Pantry & scan data you create in the app: items, photos, saved recipes.
• Reviews you post inside the app (rating, comment, display name).
• A device identifier generated locally by the app for anti-abuse.
• Subscription status if you buy Pro through Google Play.
• Basic technical logs (error reports, timestamps) needed to run the service.

2. What we do NOT collect

• No advertising identifiers.
• No location data.
• No contacts, SMS, call logs or file listings.
• No third-party analytics or ad SDKs.

3. How we use your data

• To let you sign in and greet you by name.
• To store and sync your pantry, scans and reviews.
• To recognise food from photos (processed then discarded).
• To verify your Google Play subscription and unlock Pro.
• To fight abuse (spam reviews, fraud).

4. Who we share data with

• Google — sign-in and Play Billing.
• Our backend host — stores your account data on our behalf, encrypted.
• AI providers we use for food recognition — they receive the image, return a label, and are forbidden from training on or retaining your data.
• We do not sell your data.

5. Data retention

We keep your account data while your account exists. When you delete it we remove your profile, pantry, reviews and entitlements within 30 days. Backups cycle out within 90 days.

6. Your rights & account deletion

You can delete your account from More → Settings → Delete my account. You can also email privacy@foodsavercompanion.app for access, correction, export or deletion.

7. Security

All traffic uses HTTPS. Passwords never touch our servers (Google OAuth). Access to production data is restricted.

8. Children

FoodSaver is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

9. Changes

When we materially change this policy we update the date and show an in-app notice.
