Last updated: September 5th 2024

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how GroceryBot ("App," "we," "our," or "us"), operated by Jacob Woods, collects, uses, shares, and protects information from users ("you" or "your") of the App.

By using GroceryBot, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the App.

1. Information We Collect
We collect non-identifiable information from users to provide and improve the App's services:
Analytical Data: We use analytics tools to collect information about how users interact with the App. This includes usage patterns, device information (such as device type and operating system), and in-app activity. All data collected is anonymized.
ChatGPT Interactions: The App includes a chatbot feature powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT. Conversations with the chatbot may be stored for the purpose of improving the chatbot's responses and functionality. No personal identifiers are collected with these interactions.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information to:

Provide, maintain, and improve the App’s features and functionality.
Understand user preferences and usage patterns to enhance the user experience.
Monitor and analyze trends and usage to develop new features and services.
Communicate with users regarding updates, security alerts, and other service-related information.
3. Sharing of Information
Service Providers: We may share non-identifiable information with third-party service providers who assist us in analyzing App usage (Currently only TelemetryDeck and Apple App Store Connect) and improving the App’s features. These providers are obligated to use the information solely for providing their services to us.
Third-Party Integrations: The App may include buttons or links to third-party websites (e.g., grocery store websites) and services. When you click on these buttons or links, you may be redirected to a third-party website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before using their services.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).
4. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Data Retention
We retain non-identifiable information collected through the App for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. You may request the deletion of your information by contacting us at [email protected].

6. Children’s Privacy
The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from children without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.

7. User Rights
Access and Update Information: Since we do not collect identifiable information, there is no personal data for you to access, update, or delete. However, you may contact us if you have any concerns regarding the anonymized data that is collected.
Opt-Out: You may opt-out of sharing anonymized data by disabling certain features or ceasing to use the App.
