Privacy Policy

Grocer is designed to use local storage and Apple services where needed. The app does not use third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, or cross-app tracking.

Summary

Grocer does not track you. Photos used for import are processed on-device, and shared lists rely on Apple's CloudKit infrastructure.

What Grocer Accesses

Photos and camera

Grocer can access your camera or photo library when you choose to import items from an image. Text recognition happens on your device. The source image is not uploaded by Grocer as part of the import flow.

iCloud and CloudKit

If you enable shared lists or family sharing, Grocer stores list data in your iCloud account using CloudKit so collaborators can access the same list. Apple processes that data according to its own privacy terms.

Data Handling

Local data Your grocery lists, item history, and app settings are stored on your device. Exported backup files are created only when you choose to export them.

Account data Grocer does not create a separate account system. Shared content is tied to your Apple ID through iCloud and CloudKit.

Tracking Grocer does not use App Tracking Transparency because it does not track users across apps or websites.

Third parties Grocer does not embed ad networks or third-party analytics tools. Apple services such as iCloud may process data required to provide syncing and sharing.

Retention Data remains on your device or in your iCloud account until you delete it, remove the app, or disable related iCloud storage.
