My Shopping List ยท Last updated 29 October 2026
This policy explains what My Shopping List collects, why, and what you can control. It applies to the iOS app and the web version of the service.
We ask for your location only to find nearby stores and pickup options. You can decline and enter a suburb, city or postcode manually instead. Location is not stored unless you choose to save it to your account.
If you create an account we store your email address, your shopping lists, favourites, preferred language, preferred stores and notification preferences so they are available when you return.
The label scanner and prescription reader use photos you take or choose inside the app. Images are uploaded only when you start a scan, are used to read the text on the label or script, and are stored privately and linked to your account so you can review the result. We do not access your photo library beyond the images you select, and you can delete a scan at any time.
Searches, saved lists and the offers shown to you are stored so we can compare prices, track budgets and send the price alerts you ask for. We keep a record of search terms and result counts to improve results.
Card payments and subscriptions are processed by Stripe. We receive a confirmation, amount and reference, but never your full card details. Bank transfer payments you record are stored so the payment can be matched and confirmed.
We send transactional email such as price alerts, subscription reminders, order receipts and account messages. You can turn reminders off in Settings. Marketing email is only sent if you opt in and every message includes an unsubscribe link.
Offers link to retailer and payment websites run by other companies. Once you leave the app, their own privacy policies apply. We do not control what they collect.
We use trusted providers for hosting and storage, payment processing (Stripe), and AI-assisted reading of labels, menus and prescriptions. They process data only on our instructions and only for those purposes.
Lists, scans and preferences are kept while your account is active. You can delete individual items, or delete your whole account from Settings, which removes your saved lists, scans and preferences. Some payment records are retained where tax or accounting law requires it.
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
You can decline location access, opt out of reminders, edit or delete your lists and scans, and request a copy or deletion of your data through the support link on our App Store listing.
Data is sent over encrypted connections and stored with access restricted to your account. No system is completely secure, so please use a strong, unique password.
If this policy changes we will update this page and the date above. Significant changes will be announced in the app.
