Welcome to Budget Basket – Grocery List & Budget Planner.
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the Budget Basket mobile application.
Budget Basket is an offline-first grocery shopping and budget planning application designed to help users create and manage grocery lists, plan budgets, track spending, set shopping reminders, maintain shopping history, and organize shopping activities.
Most user-created app data is stored locally on your device.
By using Budget Basket, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Budget Basket does not require account registration or login.
The app may store information locally on your device, including:
Grocery list names
Grocery item names
Item prices and quantities
Budget amounts
Categories
Notes
Purchase/completion status
Shopping history
Currency settings
Theme and dark mode preferences
Reminder settings
App preferences
Remove Ads purchase status
This information is primarily stored locally on your device unless you choose to export, share, or back it up using available app features.
Budget Basket does not require you to provide personal information such as:
Name
Email address
Phone number
Home address
Account password
Contacts
Precise location
Camera or microphone access for core functionality
We do not sell your personal information.
However, third-party services integrated into the app, including Google AdMob and Google Play Billing, may process certain device, advertising, transaction, and technical information as described below and under their own privacy policies.
Budget Basket is designed to work primarily offline.
Your grocery lists, items, budgets, shopping history, preferences, and other user-created data are primarily stored locally on your device.
An internet connection may be required for certain services, including:
Loading advertisements
Processing or restoring the Remove Ads Forever purchase
Communicating with Google Play services
The app's core grocery list and budgeting functionality can generally be used without an internet connection.
Deleting the app or clearing its storage may remove locally stored information unless you have created a separate backup.
Budget Basket may allow users to:
Export grocery lists as PDF
Share exported files
Create local backup files
Restore supported backup data
When you choose to export or share information, the file may be handled by another application selected by you, such as an email, messaging, file manager, or cloud storage application.
Those third-party applications operate according to their own privacy practices, and Budget Basket does not control how they handle information you choose to share with them.
Budget Basket may request notification permission when necessary to provide shopping list reminders and related notifications.
Notification permission is used for reminder functionality requested or configured by the user.
You can manage notification permission through your device settings.
Budget Basket uses Google AdMob to display advertisements to users who have not purchased the Remove Ads Forever option.
The app may display advertising formats such as:
Banner ads
Interstitial ads
Rewarded ads, if enabled or made available in the app
Google AdMob and its advertising partners may process certain information necessary to provide, measure, secure, and improve advertising services. Depending on the user's device, settings, region, and consent choices, this may include information such as:
Device and app information
Advertising identifiers, where available
IP address
Ad interaction information
Diagnostic and performance information
Approximate location inferred from technical information, where applicable
The availability and personalization of advertisements may depend on the user's region, device settings, consent choices, and applicable laws.
Google handles information collected through its advertising services according to Google's own privacy policies and terms.
Budget Basket offers an optional Remove Ads Forever purchase through Google Play.
This is intended as a one-time purchase that removes advertisements from the app after successful purchase verification.
Purchases are processed by Google Play. Budget Basket does not directly collect or store your payment card or banking information.
Google Play may process information necessary to complete, verify, restore, and manage purchases.
The app may locally store the user's Remove Ads entitlement status so that purchased benefits can remain available across app sessions.
Purchase restoration or verification may require communication with Google Play services.
Budget Basket may use third-party services and software libraries necessary to provide app functionality, including services for:
Google AdMob advertising
Google Play Billing
Local data storage
PDF generation
File sharing
Notifications
Data visualization
These third-party services may process limited technical information required to provide their functionality.
Their handling of information is governed by their respective privacy policies and terms.
We take reasonable measures to design Budget Basket with privacy and data minimization in mind.
Most grocery, budget, and shopping information is stored locally on your device rather than on our own servers.
However, no device, software, storage method, or electronic transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their devices and any backup or exported files they create.
Locally stored grocery lists, budgets, shopping history, settings, and related information remain on your device until you delete them, clear the app's data, or uninstall the application.
Where the app provides individual delete or clear options, you may use those features to remove applicable locally stored information.
Information processed independently by third-party services such as Google may be retained according to their respective policies.
Budget Basket is not specifically directed toward children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.
Third-party services integrated into the app may apply their own age-related requirements, protections, and policies.
We may update this Privacy Policy when the app's functionality, third-party services, legal requirements, or privacy practices change.
When this Privacy Policy is updated, the revised version will be published with a new effective date.
We encourage users to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
