Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how FoodDeal ("FoodDeal", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the FoodDeal mobile applications for iOS and Android and the related website (together, the "Service").

FoodDeal helps you plan weekly meals around grocery promotions. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

We collect information in the following categories:

• Account information: email address and password if you sign up with email, or identifiers and basic profile details provided by Google Sign-In or Sign in with Apple (such as name and email, depending on your provider settings).
• Profile and preferences: name, the shop you choose on the map (city and store), household size, dietary preferences, allergies, cooking appliances, preferred shopping day, cooking days, weekly food budget, calorie target, and related meal-planning settings.
• Location: if you tap the button to find shops nearby, the app reads your device location once to center the map. We store the shop you pick, not a history of where you have been.
• Usage and planning data: meal plans, recipe selections, portion preferences, shopping lists, pantry items, recipe ratings, and marks for meals you cooked.
• Device and notification data: push notification permission and a Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) device token stored on your account so we can deliver notifications you request.
• Purchase information: subscription status and purchase receipts processed by Apple App Store or Google Play Billing. We do not receive or store your full payment card details.
• Technical data: logs needed to operate and secure the Service, plus crash reports and feedback you choose to send, processed by Sentry.

We do not keep a trail of your GPS location. We do not collect contacts, photos from your camera roll, microphone audio, or advertising identifiers for third-party ads.

We do not show third-party advertising in the Service, and we do not use Firebase Analytics advertising features for ad targeting.

We use your information to:

• Create and manage your account and authenticate you.
• Generate personalized meal plans, shopping lists, and promotion-aware suggestions.
• Save your preferences, pantry, and planning history across devices.
• Send push or local notifications you enable (for example, shopping reminders or product updates).
• Process and validate subscriptions and unlock premium features.
• Provide customer support, prevent abuse, and maintain security.
• Improve the Service, diagnose crashes, and read feedback you send.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process personal data under these legal bases:

• Contract: to provide the Service you request (account, meal planning, subscriptions).
• Consent: for optional features such as push notifications, where required.
• Legitimate interests: to secure, maintain, and improve the Service in ways that do not override your rights.
• Legal obligation: where we must retain or disclose data to comply with law.

We share personal information only with service providers that help us operate the Service, and only as needed for that purpose:

• Supabase — authentication, database hosting, and related backend infrastructure.
• Google — Google Sign-In (if you choose it), Firebase Cloud Messaging for push notifications, and Google Play Billing for Android subscriptions.
• Apple — Sign in with Apple (if you choose it) and App Store In-App Purchases for iOS subscriptions.
• RevenueCat — subscription entitlement status so we can unlock paid features.
• Sentry — crash reports and feedback you submit from the app (your message and account email).
• Hosting / infrastructure providers that run our website and API.

We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it with third parties for their own advertising.

We may disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer (with notice where required).

With your permission, FoodDeal may send push notifications and local reminders related to meal planning and shopping. We store the device token on your account for that purpose.

You can disable notifications at any time in your device system settings. If you disable notifications, some reminder features may not work.

Paid features are billed by Apple or Google through their store billing systems. Payment card data is handled by Apple or Google, not by FoodDeal.

We receive limited purchase status information needed to unlock and manage your subscription entitlement.

We keep your account and profile data while your account remains active.

If you delete your account, we delete or anonymize personal data associated with that account within a reasonable period, except where we must retain limited records for legal, security, accounting, or dispute-resolution purposes.

The device token is removed when you sign out, delete your account, uninstall the app, or revoke notification permission.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to certain processing.

You can update many profile details directly in the app. You may also request account deletion from the profile/settings area where available, or by contacting us.

If you signed in with Google or Apple, you can also manage permissions through those providers.

If you are in the EEA/UK, you may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

FoodDeal is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 where a higher age is required by local law).

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Our service providers may process data in countries other than your own, including outside the EEA. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent transfer mechanisms offered by our providers.

We use industry-standard measures to protect personal information, including encrypted transport (HTTPS), access controls, and authenticated API sessions.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Please use a strong unique password and keep your devices updated.

The Service may link to third-party websites or store product pages (for example, grocery retailer sites). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not ours.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the “Last updated” date.

If changes are material, we may provide additional notice in the app or by email where appropriate.
