Privacy Policy

The short version

Cartfolio doesn't have user accounts, doesn't run analytics or ad tracking, and doesn't collect your name, email, or location. Your shopping list, cart, receipts, and history are stored only in the app's own storage on your device. There is exactly one feature that talks to a server: Weekly Deals, described in full below.

What stays on your device

These are stored locally on your iPhone, using standard iOS app storage, and are never uploaded anywhere:

• Your shopping list, cart, and "Mine"/custom items
• Shopping history and receipt photos or amounts you add
• Favorited deals
• App preferences: theme, accent color, text size, and the postal/zip code you've set

If you delete the app, this data is deleted with it. There is no account to recover it from, because there is no account.

The one exception: Weekly Deals

The Deals tab shows real flyer prices pulled from local stores. To do that, the app requests that data from a server we operate, which in turn pulls public flyer listings once a day. Here's exactly what that involves:

• What's sent: the postal or zip code you've entered (so the server can return deals for your area), and your device's IP address, which is inherent to any internet request and is used only to apply a rate limit against abuse, not to identify you.
• What's not sent: your name, your shopping list, your receipts, your history, or anything else in the app.
• The only connection: the app talks only to our own server, to pull this week's deals for the postal or zip code you type in. That's it. We don't log or store which location you searched.
• How often: the deals list is cached for an hour, and the app itself only refreshes automatically once a day, so this is a handful of requests, not continuous tracking.

This is also the only place ads or third-party services show up anywhere near this app, and even there, it's a data request you make, not an ad network watching you.

No ads, no analytics, no third-party trackers

Cartfolio doesn't include an advertising SDK, an analytics SDK, or a crash-reporting SDK that phones home with usage data. We don't know how you use the app beyond what Apple's own App Store Connect reports in aggregate (like install counts), and we can't see your list, your receipts, or your spending.

Changes to this policy

If this ever changes, for example if a future feature needs to send more than a postal code, we'll update this page and the "Last updated" date above, and describe the new feature with the same level of detail as the Weekly Deals section.
