Privacy Policy

📋Overview

Bubbleboy's Grocery Planner ("the App") is a personal meal-planning Progressive Web App. This policy explains what data the App accesses, where it is stored, and how it is used.

📦Data We Store — and Where

All meal plan data (ingredients, dishes, pantry contents, grocery lists, and settings) is saved in your browser's IndexedDB — a built-in database that stays on your device. This means the app works instantly, even offline, and your data never leaves your computer or phone.

If you choose to connect Google Drive, a backup copy is saved as meal_planner_data.json in your own Google Drive. This lets you restore your data on another device or browser. Even then, we never see or touch that file — it lives in your Drive, under your Google account.

We do not operate any backend servers, databases, or cloud infrastructure. No copy of your data is ever transmitted to or stored by the App's developer.

• IndexedDB (your browser) — primary storage for all your meal planner data
• Google Drive (optional) — cloud backup in your own Drive account
• localStorage — lightweight sync metadata and UI preferences
• Service Worker cache — static app files for offline use (no personal data)

🔑Google Sign-In & Permissions

The App uses Google Identity Services (OAuth 2.0) to authenticate you. We request the following Google API scopes:

• drive.file — to read and write the App's data file in your Drive
• userinfo.profile — to display your name and profile picture within the App

These tokens are stored in your browser and used only to communicate with Google's APIs on your behalf. We never receive or store your Google credentials.

You can revoke the App's access at any time through your Google Account permissions page.

🚫Data We Do Not Collect

• We do not use analytics or tracking cookies
• We do not collect usage statistics, crash reports, or telemetry
• We do not display advertisements
• We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties
• We do not collect payment information

💻Third-Party Services

The App integrates with the following Google services, each governed by Google's own privacy policy:

• Google Privacy Policy
• Google APIs Terms of Service

When you visit external grocery store links, those links may pass through Skimlinks, an affiliate network. Skimlinks may set its own cookies on those external sites. No personal data from the App is shared with Skimlinks — it only processes outbound clicks to participating retailers. Any commission earned helps keep the app free.

No advertising networks, analytics SDKs, or other third-party tracking services are used.

📅Data Retention & Deletion

Because your data lives on your own device (and optionally in your Google Drive), you are in full control of retention and deletion:

• Use Settings → Delete All Data inside the app to wipe everything.
• Clear your browser's site data to remove all locally stored data.
• If connected to Google Drive, delete meal_planner_data.json from your Drive.
• Revoke the app's access via your Google Account permissions page.

👶Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has used this App with a Google account, please contact the developer so appropriate action can be taken.

🔄Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Effective date" at the top of this page reflects when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
