Privacy Policy for Ghartion

1. Information Collection and Use

Ghartion is designed with a "Privacy-First" approach.

Local Data Storage

Your grocery lists are stored locally on your device using the Hive database. The following information is stored only on your device:

• Item names and categories
• Item quantities and units (kg, L, pcs, etc.)
• Completion status of items
• Frequently used items for suggestions
• Creation timestamps and usage counts

We do not have access to your grocery lists. This data never leaves your device unless you choose to uninstall the app.

Personal Data

• We do not collect personal information such as your name, phone number, email address, or location.
• Account-Free: You do not need to create an account to use the app.

2. App Initialization & Analytics

When you open the app, we send basic anonymous technical information to our servers to help us understand app usage, improve performance, and fix bugs. This includes:

3. Permissions

To provide a smooth experience, the app requires the following permission:

Permissions We Do NOT Request:

• ❌ Microphone – We do not have voice input features
• ❌ Camera – We do not scan barcodes or take photos
• ❌ Location – We do not track your location

These services may collect basic technical information as outlined in their respective privacy policies. This data is anonymous and used solely for app improvement.

5. Data Security

• Your grocery list data is stored locally on your device and is protected by your device's security measures.
• Data transmitted to our servers uses HTTPS encryption.
• We do not store your grocery lists on our servers – you are in complete control of your data.

6. Data Retention & Deletion

• Local Data: Uninstalling the app will permanently delete all your grocery lists and app data from your device.
• Analytics Data: Anonymous usage data may be retained for up to 12 months for analytical purposes, after which it is automatically deleted.

7. Children's Privacy

Our app is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personal data from children under 13 years of age. Since the app:

• Does not require account creation
• Does not collect personal information
• Stores data only locally on the device

It can be safely used by children under parental supervision.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date." We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

For significant changes that affect how we handle your data, we will notify users through an in-app notice.

You have the right to:

• Access your data (stored locally on your device)
