Food Manager — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 September 2026

Food Manager is a shopping list app. This page explains what data it collects and why.

Local-first by default

Your shopping list, categories, and settings are stored only on your device unless you take one of the actions below. No account is required to use the app, and no data is sent anywhere for its core functionality — including the on-device AI categorization, which runs entirely on your phone.

If you share a shopping list

Sharing a list generates a one-time join code. Once a list is shared, its contents (items, categories, and strike-through/completion state) are stored on our server so it can be synchronized between the people you've shared it with. Only people you've explicitly shared the code with can access that list.

Usage data and crash reports (optional)

Unless you turn it off, the app collects anonymous usage and diagnostic data to help us fix problems and improve the app:

• Usage data — which screens and features are used (for example, that a list was shared or Alexa was connected), collected with Google Firebase Analytics. It uses a random app-instance identifier, not your name, email or Google account, and the advertising ID is not collected.
• Error and crash reports — the error message, a stack trace, your device's model and OS version, and the app version, sent to our server.

Neither includes your shopping list contents, email or name, and neither is used for advertising. You can turn both off at any time in Settings → Food Manager (“Share anonymous usage data”). Error reports are kept for about 30 days.

If you link an Amazon Alexa account

Linking Alexa requires signing in with your Google account. We receive your email address and name from Google to identify your account and associate it with the shopping list you designate for voice control. This is only collected if you choose to use the Alexa integration, and you can disconnect Alexa at any time from the app's Settings page, which removes the link.

What we don't do

We don't show ads, sell your data, or share it with third parties beyond what's needed to operate the features above (e.g. Google, for sign-in and Firebase Analytics, and Amazon, for the Alexa skill you've chosen to link).

Data deletion

You can delete your account yourself in the app: Settings → Food Manager → Delete account. This permanently removes your account, your Alexa link and any shared lists you own from our servers; lists stored on your device stay on your device. You can also disconnect Alexa on its own at any time from Settings. To request deletion of any other data associated with your account, contact us using the details below.

Children's privacy

Food Manager is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from children.
