This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use:

1. Overview
Grace Pantry is designed as a privacy-first household pantry management app.
A key principle of Grace Pantry is that pantry and household inventory data is intended to be stored locally on your device, not in user cloud accounts.
This means that, in general:
- no account is required for core app use
- your pantry data remains on your device
- we do not operate the app as a cloud-synced household database
- we do not collect your pantry inventory as a hosted account profile in the ordinary course of app use
However, some features may temporarily process selected images or limited technical data in order to provide core functionality, such as:
- receipt import
- product photo recognition
- support diagnostics when you contact us
---
2. Information We Collect
The information Grace Pantry may process falls into several categories.
A. Information stored locally on your device
This may include:
- pantry products you add
- categories
- quantities
- minimum stock thresholds
- barcode values
- household areas
- shopping list items
- recipe-related selections
- language preference
- app preferences
- plan state or premium-related local flags
- household settings such as guest counts
- help/tutorial completion state
This data is generally stored locally on your device.
B. Images you choose to provide
If you use certain optional features, you may choose to provide images, such as:
- a photo of a shopping receipt
- a photo of a product package
- an image selected from your gallery for receipt or product analysis
These images may be transmitted temporarily for processing only when necessary to provide the feature you requested.
C. Support and communication information
If you contact us, we may receive:
- your email address
- your name, if you provide it
- the contents of your message
- attachments, screenshots, or images you send
- technical details you choose to share for support purposes
D. Purchase and subscription information
If premium subscriptions are offered, purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store.
We may receive limited subscription-related information necessary to provide app functionality, such as:
- subscription status
- product identifier
- purchase state or entitlement state
We do not directly collect or store your payment card information.
E. Limited technical and device information
Depending on how the app and website are configured, we may receive limited technical information such as:
- app version
- device type
- operating system version
- language setting
- basic error or crash information
- support diagnostics if voluntarily shared or needed for troubleshooting
We aim to minimize this data and limit it to what is reasonably necessary.
---
3. How We Use Information
We use information for the following purposes:
- to provide the app’s core functionality
- to store and display your pantry and shopping information locally
- to analyze images you choose to submit for product or receipt recognition
- to enable barcode, product photo, and receipt-related features
- to provide recipe-related suggestions based on local pantry information
- to respond to support requests
- to improve the reliability, safety, and usability of Grace Pantry
- to maintain subscription or premium feature access where applicable
- to comply with legal obligations
- to protect our users, systems, rights, and services
---
4. Local-First Storage
Grace Pantry is built around a local-first model.
In ordinary use:
- pantry data is stored locally on your device
- shopping list data is stored locally on your device
- household settings are stored locally on your device
- recipe matching is based on local pantry information
Because data is stored locally:
- deleting the app may delete your locally stored data
- changing devices may not transfer your data unless your device tools separately back it up
- if your device is lost, damaged, reset, or erased, your local pantry data may also be lost
We are not responsible for the loss of local data resulting from user actions, device issues, or platform behavior.
---
5. Image-Based Features
Grace Pantry may provide image-based assistance features such as:
- receipt import
- product photo recognition
Receipt Import
If you upload or capture a receipt image:
- the image may be processed to identify purchased items
- the processing is intended to extract product lines only
- users are expected to review and confirm the detected items before saving them
Product Photo Recognition
If you upload or capture a product image:
- the image may be processed to identify the main product shown
- users are expected to review and confirm the detected result before saving
Important
These features are assistive only.
They may not always be complete or error-free.
We may use service providers or API-based tools to process these images temporarily in order to provide the requested result.
We aim not to retain submitted images longer than necessary for processing, troubleshooting, security, or legal compliance.
---
6. Barcode Scanning
Barcode scanning is intended to work as a convenience feature.
Barcode values scanned through the app may be:
- processed locally
- compared against local lookup data
- used to prefill product information
Barcode data may be stored locally with the product record you choose to save.
---
7. Recipes and Suggestions
Grace Pantry may provide:
- recipe suggestions
- recipe matching
- shopping recommendations based on missing ingredients
This functionality is informational and assistive only.
Recipe-related suggestions are generated to help organize cooking decisions, but they are not a substitute for:
- dietary advice
- allergy advice
- medical advice
- nutritional advice
You remain responsible for reviewing ingredient suitability, allergens, household dietary needs, and cooking decisions.
---
8. Website Data
If you visit the Grace Pantry website or support pages, we may collect limited website-related information such as:
- browser type
- device type
- approximate technical usage data
- support form submissions
- cookies or similar technologies, if implemented on the website
If cookies or analytics tools are used on the website, your website pages should also include any additional notice required by applicable law.

9. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share limited information only in the following circumstances:
A. Service providers
We may use service providers to help us operate Grace Pantry, such as:
- hosting providers

- image-processing providers used for selected receipt or product recognition features
- payment/platform providers such as Apple
These providers may process information only as needed to perform services on our behalf, subject to applicable obligations.

- comply with legal obligations
- protect rights, safety, or property
- investigate fraud, abuse, or security issues
C. Business transfers
If Rugs to go, Inc. is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, sale of assets, or similar transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.
---
10. Data Retention
Because Grace Pantry is primarily local-first, much of your pantry data remains on your device until you delete or modify it.
For information we do receive or process, we retain it only for as long as reasonably necessary for purposes such as:
- providing the requested feature
- support and troubleshooting
- security
- legal compliance
- resolving disputes
- enforcing agreements
Submitted support emails and support materials may be retained for a reasonable period for customer service and recordkeeping.
Images submitted for recognition features should not be retained longer than reasonably necessary for processing, support, security, or legal obligations.
---
11. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information under our control.
However:
- no method of transmission over the internet
- and no method of electronic storage
is completely secure.
Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are also responsible for helping protect your information by:
- securing your device
- keeping your operating system updated
- controlling who can access your phone or tablet
---
12. Children’s Privacy
Grace Pantry is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us at info@gracepantry.app, and we will take reasonable steps to review and address the issue.
If a higher minimum age applies under local law in your jurisdiction, that local standard may also apply.

13. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have privacy rights under applicable law, which may include the right to:
- request access to personal information we hold about you
- request correction of inaccurate information
- request deletion of certain information
- request restriction of certain processing

Because Grace Pantry is largely local-first, many data controls may be exercised directly by you on your device by:
- editing pantry items
- deleting app data
- uninstalling the app
- removing images before submission
- choosing not to use optional image-based features
For requests relating to information we may hold directly, contact us at info@gracepantry.app
We may need to verify your identity before responding where legally required.
