Short version: Freezer & Pantry Inventory is designed to be private. Your food inventory, photos, weights, and preferences stay on your device and in your own personal iCloud account. The developer runs no server, has no access to your data, and collects no analytics, crash reports, or tracking information. The app contacts two public services (Open Food Facts and Unsplash) anonymously to fetch product info and photos. That's it.
This app is published by the developer of rocks.clarke.tech.freezerinventory. Contact: info@tech.clarke.rocks.
The app stores the food inventory you create — products, locations, quantities, weights, expiration dates, notes, and any photos you choose to attach. This data lives on your device in Apple's SwiftData store and, if you've enabled iCloud, in your personal iCloud account's private database. The developer cannot see or access this data.
The app accesses your camera only when you choose to scan a barcode or take a photo of an item. Images are processed on-device. Barcode data is used to look up product information (see Section 3). Photos you capture are stored only on your device and in your iCloud account, never transmitted to the developer.
If you enable expiration alerts, the app schedules local notifications on your device. These are managed entirely by iOS and never leave the device. No push notification server is involved.
When you scan a barcode, the app sends the barcode string to Open Food Facts to retrieve the product name, brand, category, and image. No personal information is included with these requests. The User-Agent header identifies the app and a contact email so Open Food Facts can reach the developer if needed. Their privacy policy: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/privacy.
When inventory items lack a product image, or when the Meal Planner suggests recipes, the app sends a short text query (the product name or meal name) to Unsplash to retrieve a relevant photo and photographer attribution. No personal information is included. Their privacy policy: https://unsplash.com/privacy.
Premium subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple through the App Store. Refunds, cancellations, and payment issues are handled by Apple. To manage or cancel your subscription, go to Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your device.
The app is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because the app collects no personal information at all, no special handling is required.
Data in transit to Open Food Facts and Unsplash is encrypted via HTTPS. Data at rest on your device is protected by iOS data protection. iCloud-synced data is encrypted by Apple in transit and at rest. The developer does not store any of your data.
If this policy changes in a material way, the "Last updated" date at the top will be revised and a notice will appear in a future app update. Continued use of the app after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
