Privacy Policy

ExpiryGuard · Uluer Technology Solutions

Your grocery list and expiry data stay on your device. We do not operate servers that store your pantry contents.

This policy describes how ExpiryGuard handles information when you use the app.

1. Data stored on your device

Product names, barcodes, expiration dates, quantities, and categories are stored locally on your iPhone or iPad (Core Data). We cannot access this data. It is removed if you delete the app, subject to your device backup settings.

2. Camera & photos

Barcode scanning and expiry-date OCR run on your device. Images used for OCR are not uploaded to us.

3. Chef Ron's practical recipes

The Chef Ron recipe section suggests meal ideas based on items in your local pantry whose best-before date is within the next 30 days. All matching, scoring, and suggestion logic runs on your device using your own product list. No recipe queries, product names, or expiry dates are sent to our servers or to any third-party recipe service. The "Chef Ron" name and illustration are decorative branding — there is no real account, profile, or external person involved in generating the suggestions.

4. Data that may leave your device

• Open Food Facts: When you scan a barcode, the numeric code may be sent to Open Food Facts to look up a product name. No account or personal profile is required.
• Google AdMob: The app may show ads through Google AdMob. Google may process identifiers, ad interaction data, diagnostics, and (as disclosed in App Store) coarse location for advertising. We do not control Google’s processing. See Google’s Privacy Policy and Ad Settings.

5. What we do not do

• We do not require sign-in or maintain user accounts in the app.
• We do not sell your pantry data.
• We do not receive the contents of your Core Data database on our systems.

6. Permissions

The app may ask for camera, photo library (for picking images), and local notifications. You can change these in iOS Settings.

7. Children

The app is suitable for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personal information from children beyond what third-party ad networks may process as described above.

8. Changes

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date below will change when we do. Continued use of the app means you accept the current policy.
