Privacy Policy.

01 / Introduction

Kushagra Innovations ("we", "us", or "our") develops Expiry Tracker ("the App"). Expiry Tracker helps users track product expiry dates, purchase information, return or replacement deadlines, warranties, subscriptions, bills and other important dates.

The App can be used without creating an account or logging in. Most information used for core functionality is stored locally on your Android device.

02 / Information You Provide

You may voluntarily enter information needed to organize and track items, including:

• Item or product name, category, type and notes
• Seller or retailer information
• Price and purchase information
• Invoice number, order ID and serial number
• Purchase, expiry, return and replacement dates
• Warranty start/end dates
• Subscription start/renewal dates
• Billing frequency and custom reminder settings
• User name, if you choose to enter one

Because fields such as notes, titles and user name are free-form, you could enter personal or sensitive information. We recommend entering only information necessary for your intended use.

03 / Local Storage

The App's core tracking information is stored locally on your Android device. The Room database stores tracked item information such as titles, categories, prices, dates, seller details, invoice or serial numbers, notes and local image references.

Local settings include notification preference, reminder timing, theme mode, currency symbol and user name.

The reviewed version uses standard Room/SQLite and local preference storage. The local database and preferences are not encrypted using a dedicated database-encryption mechanism such as SQLCipher.

04 / Photos, Camera & Documents

Expiry Tracker may use the camera to capture receipt or bill images and Android's visual media picker to select existing images.

Camera images

A temporary image file is created in the App's internal cache directory when you capture a receipt.

Gallery images

When you select an existing image, the App stores a local content URI reference rather than automatically creating a persistent copy.

Image processing

Images used for receipt text recognition or barcode scanning are processed locally using Google ML Kit. The reviewed implementation does not upload those images to a custom server.

05 / OCR & Barcode Scanning

After a barcode is detected, the barcode number may be sent to Open Food Facts for product information.

06 / Open Food Facts

When a barcode is successfully detected, Expiry Tracker can use the barcode number to request product information from the Open Food Facts API.

The request may include the detected barcode number and a custom User-Agent. Open Food Facts may receive normal network information associated with the request, such as an IP address.

The API can return product name, brand, category and a product image URL. The App can download and display the returned product image.

Endpoint identified in the reviewed implementation: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/api/v2/product/{barcode}.json

07 / Advertising & Google AdMob

Expiry Tracker displays banner advertisements using Google AdMob, provided by Google LLC. The reviewed implementation contains banner placements in the Settings and Items screens.

The Google Mobile Ads SDK may process information needed to request, deliver, measure and personalize advertisements, which may include:

• IP address and network information
• Advertising ID or other advertising-related identifiers
• Device and app-related information needed for advertising
• Information associated with ad requests and ad interactions

The reviewed project currently uses Google's official AdMob test App ID and test banner Ad Unit ID. Production advertising configuration may be used before public release.

08 / Notifications

If enabled, Expiry Tracker uses Android local notifications to notify you about items expiring soon or today.

The current implementation uses WorkManager for a periodic local check. It reads the local database, calculates remaining days and creates a notification when configured conditions are met.

Notifications may display the item title, expiry date and days remaining. They are generated locally and do not use Firebase Cloud Messaging.

09 / Backup, Export & Sharing

Android backup

The current Android configuration enables Android Auto Backup. Depending on Android/device and Google account backup settings, local app data may be included in the Android backup system.

Manual export

The App can export tracked database data as JSON. When you export, the data is passed to Android's Share Sheet and you select the destination application.

Sharing an item

The App can share an individual item summary. Depending on the item, this can include title, expiry date, category, price and notes.

10 / Data Deletion

You can delete individual tracked items. Deleting an item removes its corresponding database record from the local Room database.

Under standard Android behavior, uninstalling the App or clearing app data through Android settings removes the App's local database, settings and cached camera files from the device, subject to Android backup/restore behavior.

The current version does not provide a dedicated "Delete All Data" button.

11 / Third-Party Services

The reviewed project did not contain Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, AppsFlyer, Mixpanel, Amplitude, OneSignal, Sentry, a custom backend, Gemini API or OpenAI API.

12 / Security

We use standard Android application storage and sandboxing mechanisms for local data. Temporary camera files are kept in the App's internal cache directory.

Network communication identified for Open Food Facts uses HTTPS.

The local Room/SQLite database and preference storage in the reviewed version are not protected with dedicated database encryption. We therefore do not represent local data as encrypted.

13 / Children's Privacy

The reviewed version does not contain specific child-directed features, age gates or parental-control mechanisms. The App is a general-purpose utility.

14 / Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the App's features, data practices, advertising configuration or third-party services change. When an updated policy is published, the effective date may be updated.
