Overview
ShopMate is an iOS grocery price tracking app. This policy explains how ShopMate handles information used to provide account features, receipt scanning, grocery price records, store comparison, and support.
Account Data
ShopMate may collect account information such as your name, email address, authentication identifiers, profile settings, and app preferences so the app can provide account-based features and support.
Receipt OCR
Receipt images captured by camera or selected from Photos are processed on device for OCR and are not uploaded by the receipt OCR flow. Detected receipt text and selected grocery price records may be saved only after you review the detected items and choose what to keep.
Optional Photos
You may choose to add product photos, store photos, or price-entry photos. These photos are user-initiated and are separate from the receipt OCR flow.
Location and Store Coordinates
Location permission is optional. When enabled, ShopMate may use your device location to help find nearby stores or associate a price entry with the store you select. ShopMate may also use store coordinates to display or organize store records.
Submissions and Community Safety
ShopMate may process product records, price entries, vendor or store details, reviews, reports, and related submissions that you create in the app. These records are used to provide the app, maintain data quality, support moderation, and respond to reports.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate ShopMate, authenticate accounts, save selected grocery prices, compare prices by store, provide support, improve app quality, maintain security, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.
De-identified Aggregated Insights
ShopMate may use de-identified, aggregated pricing data for broader market insights. These insights are designed to avoid identifying individual users.
No Sale of Personal Data
ShopMate does not sell personal data. Personal information may be shared with service providers that help operate the app, when required by law, or when needed to protect the service and its users.
Account Deletion
You can request account deletion in the app by going to Settings > Delete Account. If you need help, contact support@shopmatehq.com.
Your Choices
You can manage camera, Photos, and location permissions in iOS Settings. You can also review detected receipt items before saving selected prices and choose whether to add optional photos.
Children
ShopMate is not intended for children under 13. ShopMate does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes
This policy may be updated from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
