frúto ("the app") helps you track seasonal produce, local prices, grocery lists, and recipes. This policy explains what information the app handles and how. The short version: frúto has no user accounts, and the only data shared with other users is what you explicitly choose to post.
When you use community features, the content you submit is stored in our database (Google Firebase) and is visible to all other users of the app:
Please don't include personal information (like your full name, address, or contact details) in public posts.
The following never leaves your device:
The app requests camera access only when you scan a receipt or take a photo for a recipe or produce icon, and photo library access only when you pick an existing photo. Receipt text is processed entirely on your device using Apple's Vision framework — receipt images are not uploaded anywhere. Only the item names and prices you review and confirm are shared as price reports.
If you grant location access, your device's location is used on-device to find nearby stores and sort them by distance. Your personal location is never stored on our servers or shared with other users.
When you pick a store from the map search while reporting a price or scanning a receipt, that store's coordinates (not yours) are saved and shared with the community, so everyone can see distance and location for that store. Only the store's location is shared — never the location of the person reporting it.
Store arrival notifications (Premium, optional). If you turn this on and grant "Always" location access, frúto asks iOS to watch for when you arrive at nearby stores, so it can notify you about items that are cheapest there. This uses Apple's region monitoring: the comparison happens entirely on your device, your location is never uploaded to our servers or shared with anyone, and no location history is kept. You can turn it off any time in Settings, or revoke location access in iOS Settings.
Subscriptions and theme purchases are processed entirely by Apple through your Apple ID. We never see or store your payment details. You can manage or cancel your subscription in the app's Settings or through your Apple ID account settings.
All notifications are scheduled locally on your device — we do not send remote push notifications and do not operate a push server. The app can show:
You can turn any of these off in the app's Settings, or disable notifications entirely in iOS Settings.
frúto uses Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore) to store and sync community content. Firebase may collect basic technical information (such as IP addresses) as part of operating the service. See Firebase's privacy documentation. We do not use advertising networks or analytics trackers, and we do not sell any data.
frúto is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Community posts remain in the shared database so other users can benefit from price history. If you would like content you posted removed, contact us with a description of the post and we will delete it.
If we change this policy, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above.
