Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-31

The same text is available inside the app, from the My Page screen.

Article 1 (Information We Collect)

1. What you enter in the app — may be used to improve the service. It is not used to identify individuals.

2. Logs of how the app is used — sent to improve the service. They are not used to identify individuals.

3. When you set a photo for a recurring item while its name is empty, the photo is sent to Gemini AI (Google) to help fill in the name only if you have agreed to use AI for product name completion. This applies when adding or editing a recurring item. Do not send images containing personal information. You can change your AI preference at any time in settings.

4. Inquiries — If you send an inquiry by email, we receive your email address, message and the user ID, app version, OS and device model included in the email. These are used to respond to your inquiry and investigate problems. You can review the draft before sending it.

5. Paid plan purchases — When you buy or restore a paid plan, we receive the purchase record (which plan you can use and until when) from the store and RevenueCat (Article 4), and keep it linked to your anonymous account ID. It is used to decide whether you can use a paid plan.

6. Ads — While you use the app for free, Google (Article 4) collects identifiers such as your device's advertising ID and records of ads shown and tapped, in order to show ads. In regions where consent is required, we ask for your consent before showing ads. You can change your choice from “Ad privacy settings” in “About this app”. On iPhone, you can choose whether to allow tracking. Every feature of the app works even if you do not allow it.

7. Voice input — Only if you agree to use AI for voice input, what you say is turned into text by your device's speech recognition, and that text is sent to Gemini AI (Google) to split it into item names, stores, notes and store sections. Your voice itself is not sent. On some devices, Apple's or Google's speech recognition may be used to turn speech into text. Do not say anything that could identify a person. We record how many times you used it each day, linked to your anonymous account ID. You can change your AI preference at any time in settings.

Article 2 (Purpose of Use for Sent Records)

Logs of how the app is used are used to improve the app, to make notifications and predictions more accurate, and to improve how product links work. They are not used to identify individuals.

Records are stored against the ID of an anonymous account that contains no name or email address. Inquiry email information is used to respond and investigate. What you put into a nickname or an item name is up to you, so, as stated in Article 5 of the Terms, please do not enter information that identifies a person.

Article 3 (Accounts)

The app creates an anonymous account that does not include your name or email address.

Only when you use backup or a device-transfer handoff do we authenticate you with an Apple or Google account. At that time, we store your email address to identify your account and carry out the handoff. If you choose Apple's “Hide My Email,” we store the forwarding address Apple issues, and your actual email address never reaches us. We do not collect your name or profile photo. The email address is not used for anything other than managing your account.

Article 4 (Third parties and processors)

The information we collect is used to provide and improve the app. It is not used to identify individuals.

Storage, photo analysis and checking paid plan purchases are entrusted to the following companies.

- Supabase (USA / storage of data; the servers used are in Tokyo)

- Google (USA / analysis to read product names from photos, and to split what you say in voice input into items)

- RevenueCat (USA / checking paid plan purchases and counting users)

While you use the app for free, ads are shown with AdMob by Google (USA). Information collected by Google is handled under Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).

Once you move to an external site from a product link, the privacy policy of that site applies.

Article 5 (About sending usage logs)

Usage logs are sent on an ongoing basis, to the extent needed to improve the app. There is no setting to turn this off on its own. If you do not want it sent, please stop using the app and delete it.

Article 6 (Deletion)

You can delete the data on the server as well from “Delete all data, including backup” in My Page (Article 9 of the Terms of Service). If you delete the app, all data on your device is lost. Accounts and their data that have gone unused for 12 months or more may be deleted, as set out in Article 7 of the Terms of Service. Purchase history and similar records are deleted 3 years after being recorded (Article 8 of the Terms of Service).

Article 7 (Security and operator)

All communication is encrypted. Data on the server is restricted so that nobody other than you and the people you share with can read it.
