Privacy Policy

Expiry Tracker

Last updated: 14 June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Schneider ("we", "us", or "our") handles information in connection with the Expiry Tracker mobile application (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.

01Information We Collect

• Data you enter: product names, brands, categories (Fridge, Pantry, Freezer, Medicine, and custom), expiry dates, quantities, notes, and reminder settings you create.
• Photos and camera input: when you scan a label, receipt, or barcode, the App accesses your camera (or a photo you choose from your library) to read product details. See Section 04 for how these images are processed.
• Household information: if you create or join a household, a device name you choose and the items you track are shared with other members of that household and stored in our cloud backend so everyone sees the same list.
• Device & usage data: a device identifier and basic, aggregated usage and diagnostic analytics used to operate, secure, and improve the App.
• Notification permissions: if you enable reminders, the App schedules local and push notifications on your device.

02How We Use Information

• To store and display your tracked items and their expiry status.
• To send the reminders and notifications you set up.
• To read scanned labels, receipts, and barcodes and auto-fill product details.
• To enable household sharing among members you invite.
• To maintain, troubleshoot, secure, and improve the App.

03Where Your Data Is Stored

Your tracked items and settings are stored locally on your device so the App can work offline for personal use. When you use household sharing or push reminders, the relevant data is also synced to our cloud backend (Google Firebase) so it can be shared with household members and delivered as notifications.

04Label Scanning & AI Processing

To read labels and receipts, photos you scan are sent securely to our backend and processed by Google's Gemini AI to extract product names, brands, and dates. These images are used only to extract those details, are not used to train AI models, and are not retained after processing. Google's handling of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

05Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:

• Google Firebase — Cloud Firestore, Cloud Messaging, and Analytics (data storage, sync, push notifications, and usage analytics).
• Google AdMob — to display advertising in the App.
• Google Gemini — AI processing of scanned label and receipt images.

Each is operated by Google and governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

06Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your data with third parties except the service providers listed above, the household members you choose to invite, or where required by law.

07Permissions

• Camera: used only to scan product labels, receipts, and barcodes.
• Photo library: used only when you choose to add an item from a saved image.
• Notifications: used only to deliver the reminders you create.

You can revoke any permission at any time in your device settings.

08Data Retention & Deletion

Data stored on your device remains until you delete an item, use "Clear data" in Settings, or uninstall the App. For cloud-synced household data, leaving a household or clearing your data removes your contributions from that household. Uninstalling removes locally stored data from your device.

09Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under laws such as the GDPR (EU/UK) or CCPA (California), including the right to access, correct, or delete your information. You can exercise most of these directly in the App using item deletion and the "Clear data" option. For other requests, contact us below.

11Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
