Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 20, 2026 · Last Updated: March 20, 2026

Your privacy matters. This Privacy Policy explains what data Fridgey ("App", "Service", "we", "us", "our") collects, how we use it, who we share it with, and your rights regarding your data.

1.4 Grocery List Data

Item names, quantities, units, checked status, and source (manual, voice, or suggestion).

1.5 Voice Recordings

When you use voice input, your audio recording is:

  1. Sent to our server (Supabase Edge Function)
  2. Forwarded to Deepgram for speech-to-text transcription
  3. The resulting text is processed by an AI language model to extract item data
  4. Audio recordings are not stored — they are processed in memory and discarded after transcription

Near-live transcript previews follow the same pattern: audio snapshots are transcribed and discarded.

1.6 Photos (Receipt and Shelf Scanning)

When you scan a receipt or shelf:

  1. The image is sent to our server
  2. Forwarded to an AI vision model (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google) for item extraction
  3. Images are not stored — they are processed and discarded after parsing

We extract only food item data (names, quantities, prices). Non-food receipt content (store loyalty info, payment details) is discarded during parsing.

1.7 Activity and Usage Data

DataPurpose
Activity log (items added, used, wasted; scans performed)Shared pantry feed, analytics, savings calculations
Usage tracking (voice sessions, scans per month)Free tier limit enforcement
Streak data (current streak, longest streak)Gamification

1.8 Device and Technical Data

DataPurpose

1.9 Analytics Data (Optional)

We use PostHog for anonymous product analytics to understand feature usage and improve the App. This data:

  • Is anonymized and aggregated
  • Does not include your pantry items, personal information, or voice/photo content
  • Tracks events like screen views, feature usage, and conversion flows
  • Can be limited via iOS App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt

1.10 Subscription Data

Managed by RevenueCat: subscription status (free/premium), plan type, expiration date, purchase history and billing events.

We store your premium status in our database. We do not store payment card details, billing addresses, or transaction receipts — these remain with Apple, Google, and RevenueCat.

Important Notes on AI Providers

  • We use API access to AI providers, not custom model training. Your data is not used to train or improve their models.
  • Voice audio is transcribed by Deepgram and immediately discarded.
  • Receipt and shelf photos are processed by AI vision models and immediately discarded.
  • AI prompts contain item names, diet preferences, and pantry context — they do not contain your email, real name, or payment information.

4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Where Data Is Stored

Your data is stored in Supabase (hosted on AWS). The database location depends on the Supabase project configuration (typically US or EU region).

4.2 Security Measures

  • All data in transit is encrypted via TLS/HTTPS
  • Database access is protected by Row Level Security (RLS)
  • Authentication tokens are managed by Supabase Auth with secure session handling
  • API keys and secrets are stored as environment variables, never in client code
  • RevenueCat webhook payloads are verified via HMAC signature
  • Service role keys are never exposed in mobile app binaries

5. Your Rights

5.1 Access and Export

You can export all your data as a JSON file from Settings > Export My Data.

5.2 Deletion

You can permanently delete your account from Settings > Delete Account. This removes your profile, items, activity history, notifications, preferences, streak data, and usage records. It also cancels any active subscription. This is irreversible.

5.3 Rectification

You can update your profile information, item details, and preferences at any time within the App.

5.4 Data Portability

The Export My Data feature provides your data in a standard JSON format.

5.5 Withdraw Consent

  • Push notifications: Disable via device settings or in-app preferences
  • Analytics: Decline the App Tracking Transparency prompt on iOS
  • Account: Delete your account at any time

5.6 Restriction and Objection

If you wish to restrict or object to specific data processing, contact us at the email below. We will respond within 30 days.

6. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will promptly delete it.

7. International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed in countries other than your own (e.g., US-based cloud infrastructure, AI providers). We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses where required by GDPR.

8. Cookies and Tracking

The App does not use cookies (it is a native mobile application). We use the iOS App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework to request permission before any cross-app tracking.

9. Push Notifications

Notifications are scheduled based on your timezone and quiet hours, paused during vacation mode, fully configurable per category, and delivered only if you grant permissions. Your push token is used solely for notification delivery.

10. Shared Pantry Privacy

When you join a shared pantry, other members can see items you add, your display name, and your activity. Your personal settings (diet, routine, notifications) are not visible to other members.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via in-app notification or email. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

12. Contact Us
