This Privacy Policy explains how the SmartCart Grocery ShoppingList app ("App") handles information when you use the App.
The App allows users to create and manage grocery lists and related information.
Your grocery list content is primarily stored locally on your device. We do not require users to create an account to use the App, and we do not operate our own server for storing your grocery lists.
The App uses Google AdMob, a third-party advertising service provided by Google, to display advertisements.
Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect and process certain information from your device for purposes such as displaying and measuring advertisements, analytics, fraud prevention, security, and compliance.
Depending on your device, region, consent choices, and Google services configuration, this information may include:
Device or other identifiers, such as advertising-related identifiers
IP address, which may be used to estimate approximate location
Information about interactions with the App and advertisements
Diagnostic and performance information
This information may be transmitted to and processed by Google and its advertising partners in accordance with their respective privacy policies.
We do not directly control how Google processes information collected through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
For more information about Google's privacy practices, please review Google's Privacy Policy and information regarding how Google uses information from apps and sites that use its services.
The App may request microphone access to provide voice-related features, such as converting speech into text.
Microphone access is used only when required for these features.
Speech recognition may rely on services provided by your device, operating system, or speech recognition provider. Depending on the service and device configuration, audio or speech-related information may be processed by that provider.
The App does not intentionally store voice recordings on our own external servers.
The App may use the Text-to-Speech functionality available on your device.
Text-to-Speech processing may be provided by your device's operating system or the Text-to-Speech service selected on your device. The handling of information by such services is subject to the policies of the respective service provider.
The App may allow you to select images or icons from your device for supported features.
Content selected for grocery-list functionality is stored locally by the App unless otherwise stated. The App does not intentionally upload your grocery-list images to our own external servers.
Device or operating-system services used to select or process media may be subject to their respective privacy practices.
Grocery lists and related app content are primarily stored locally on your device.
Deleting the App or clearing its application data may permanently delete locally stored information.
The App uses third-party services, including Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads SDK.
These services may collect and process information independently according to their own privacy policies.
Google's services may use information for purposes including:
Advertising and ad measurement
Analytics
Fraud prevention and security
Service operation and improvement
We take reasonable measures to protect information handled by the App.
Information transmitted by third-party services such as Google is handled according to the security practices and policies of those service providers.
No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
The App is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children through our own servers.
Third-party advertising services may process information according to their own policies, applicable laws, age-related requirements, and the configuration of the App.
If the App is directed to children or includes children in its target audience, additional Google Play Families and advertising requirements may apply.
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have choices regarding personalized advertising and how advertising-related information is processed.
These choices may be available through consent notices presented in the App, your device settings, Google settings, or other applicable privacy controls.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the App, third-party services, legal requirements, or our privacy practices.
Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or the App's privacy practices, please contact the developer using the support contact information provided on the App's Google Play Store listing.
