Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2025

1. Introduction

KeepFresh (“we,” “our,” or “the App”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights concerning that information.

2. Data We Collect

• Nickname
  You can use the App without providing an email address or other personal identifiers—only a personalized nickname is required for basic functionality.
• Camera & Photo Library
  To scan product expiration dates, the App requests access to your device’s camera and photo library.
• Notifications
  We use local notifications to remind you of upcoming expirations; you opt in when you enable alerts in your device settings.
• Inventory Data
  You may choose to store your scanned items in the cloud (via Firebase). This includes product names, expiration dates, and category metadata you enter.

3. How We Use Your Data

• On-Device Processing
  All OCR (optical character recognition) for expiration-date scanning happens locally on your device. No image data is transmitted off-device during scanning.
• Inventory Management & Notifications
  We use your inventory data to track items and send predictive alerts (e.g., 3 days before expiration).
• Analytics & Performance
  We collect anonymous usage metrics to improve accuracy (e.g., OCR success rate, processing time) but do not link these metrics to your nickname or device.

4. Data Sharing & Third-Party Services

• Firebase Backend
  If you opt in to cloud backup, your inventory data is stored in Firebase Firestore. All data in transit and at rest is encrypted end-to-end.
• No Advertising or Profiling
  We do not share your personal data with advertisers or profile you for marketing purposes.

5. Security

• Zero Data Mining
  We do not collect or sell any personal information beyond what you explicitly provide.
• GDPR Compliance
  We adhere to European privacy standards to safeguard your rights as a data subject.

6. Your Rights

• Access & Correction
  You can view and edit your inventory data at any time within the App.
• Deletion
  To delete all data associated with your nickname, go to Settings → Clear All Data. You may also contact us to request permanent deletion from our cloud servers.
• Opt-Out
  You can revoke camera, photo library, or notification permissions at any time via your device’s Settings.
