When you sign in using Google or Apple (Sign in with Apple), we may receive:

  • Email address
  • Display name
  • Profile picture (where provided by the sign-in service)
  • Unique user identifier

If you choose Apple's "Hide My Email" option, we receive an Apple private relay email address instead of your real email address.

This information is used solely to authenticate your account and synchronize your data across devices.

Inventory and application data

We collect and store information that you choose to enter into the application, including:

  • Food products
  • Medicines
  • Cosmetics

  • Quantities and units
  • Storage locations
  • Expiry and minimum durability dates
  • Cosmetic opening dates
  • Period After Opening (PAO) information

Product usage analytics

To improve NoFoodMedWaste, we collect limited product usage events such as:

  • Features opened
  • Actions performed within the app
  • Workflow completion events
  • Premium feature interest events

These analytics are used exclusively to:

  • Improve usability

  • Identify areas for improvement
  • Prioritize future development

Analytics data is not used for advertising, profiling, or targeted marketing.

Device permissions

Camera

Camera access may be used for:

  • Barcode scanning
  • OCR recognition of food, medicine and cosmetic labels
  • Smart Scan
  • Cosmetic PAO-label recognition
  • Product identification

Images are processed only for the requested action and are not intentionally retained longer than necessary to provide the feature.

Notifications

Notification permission is used solely to provide:

  • Expiry reminders
  • Product alerts
  • Medicine reminders
  • Cosmetic PAO reminders
  • Other user-requested notifications

Payment and billing information

Premium payments are processed through different payment providers depending on the platform used. Web Premium purchases are processed by Stripe, including Stripe Managed Payments and Link where applicable. Premium purchases made within the Android app are processed through Google Play Billing.

Payment credentials are entered directly into the relevant provider's payment experience and are not collected or stored by NoFoodMedWaste.

NoFoodMedWaste does NOT collect or store:

  • Full payment card numbers (PAN)
  • Card security codes (CVV/CVC)
  • Raw payment credentials or bank account details

NoFoodMedWaste only receives and stores subscription and billing metadata required to operate Premium access, such as:

  • The payment provider (Stripe or Google Play)
  • Provider-specific subscription or purchase identifiers required to verify and manage Premium access
  • Plan or billing interval where applicable (Monthly or Yearly)
  • Subscription status (e.g., active, trialing, past due, or cancelled)
  • Cancellation state where applicable (e.g., whether cancellation at period end is scheduled)
  • Current entitlement and billing-period information

Link (Web payments)

Link is a Stripe service used in the Managed Payments checkout experience on the Web. It is not a NoFoodMedWaste product. If you choose to use Link or saved Link payment information, that information is processed by Stripe/Link under their own terms and privacy practices.

Legal basis for processing

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar privacy protections, we process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases.

Contract

You may withdraw consent at any time through your device settings.

Legal obligations

Processing may occur when required to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

Who can access your data

Your personal inventory data is accessible only to your account.

Data is stored in a secure cloud database protected by authentication controls and row-level security policies that restrict access to authorized users.

If Family Mode or other collaboration features are introduced and enabled by you, information that you intentionally share may become visible to invited household members participating in the same shared household.

No other users can access your personal inventory unless you explicitly choose to share information through future collaboration features.

Where your data is stored

Your data may be stored and processed on secure cloud infrastructure operated by trusted service providers used to run NoFoodMedWaste.

These providers may store and process data in various countries depending on their infrastructure and availability.

International data transfers

Some service providers used by NoFoodMedWaste may process data outside your country of residence.

Where applicable, reasonable safeguards are used to help protect personal data in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

Third-party services

NoFoodMedWaste relies on third-party services to provide functionality.

Google

Used for:

  • Authentication (Google Sign-In)
  • Google Play Billing (Android Premium purchases)
  • Google Play Developer services (purchase verification and subscription lifecycle management)

Open Food Facts

Used for:

  • Product information lookups

When you scan a barcode, or open Food & Health Insights for a product with a barcode, the barcode number is sent to Open Food Facts to retrieve publicly available product information, including ingredients, allergens and traces, dietary labels and classifications, NOVA processing group, Nutri-Score and additives. This health-related product information is only displayed during the lookup (briefly cached in the app) and is not stored by NoFoodMedWaste. Food & Health Insights does not collect allergy profiles, medical conditions or dietary preferences. Open Food Facts data is available under the Open Database License (ODbL).

Open Beauty Facts

Used for:

  • Cosmetic product identification lookups

When you scan a cosmetic barcode, the barcode number may be sent to Open Beauty Facts to retrieve publicly available product name and brand information.

TheMealDB

Used for:

  • Public recipe suggestions

Stripe (including Stripe Managed Payments and Link)

Used for:

  • Premium subscription checkout and payment processing
  • Subscription management through the Stripe Customer Portal

AI features and automated processing

Certain features may use automated processing to:

  • Generate recipe suggestions
  • Read food, medicine and cosmetic labels (Smart Scan / OCR)
  • Recognize cosmetic PAO symbols and dates on packaging
  • Suggest product information
  • Estimate shelf life
  • Provide meal planning recommendations
  • Generate shopping suggestions

Users remain responsible for reviewing and confirming any generated suggestions before relying on them.

NoFoodMedWaste does not make legally significant decisions based solely on automated processing.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information.

These measures may include:

  • Secure authentication
  • Encrypted connections
  • Access controls
  • Database security policies
  • Role-based permissions
  • Infrastructure provider security protections

While we strive to protect your information, no online service can guarantee absolute security.

Data retention

Your information is retained for as long as your account remains active or for as long as necessary to provide the service.

You may:

  • Delete individual items within the application
  • Remove inventory data at any time
  • Delete your account
  • Request deletion of your data

Account deletion

You can delete your account directly in the App: Settings → Account & Security → Delete Account.

You may also request deletion of your account and associated personal data by contacting: support@nofoodmedwaste.com

Verified deletion requests are typically processed within 30 days.

Deleting your account permanently deletes your NoFoodMedWaste account and application data and initiates cancellation of any active Premium subscription associated with the account, subject to the applicable subscription provider's processes. However, account deletion does not necessarily cause Stripe, Link, Google Play, or their affiliated payment entities to delete transaction, payment, tax, fraud-prevention, accounting, or regulatory records that they independently retain where required or permitted by applicable law. NoFoodMedWaste does not control that independent retention.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of personal data
  • Request export of your data
  • Restrict processing
  • Object to processing
  • Withdraw consent where applicable

To exercise any of these rights, contact: support@nofoodmedwaste.com

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Children's privacy

NoFoodMedWaste is not intended for children under the age required to consent to personal data processing under applicable law.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children who are not legally permitted to provide such consent.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

If significant changes are made, the updated version will be published with a revised "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

Continued use of NoFoodMedWaste after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
