Effective 1 October 2026
Privacy policy
Short version: Larder does not collect any data about you. Your lists, pantry, prices and trips are stored only on your iPhone. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking.
What Larder stores
The items, stock levels, prices, notes and shopping trips you enter are saved in the app's private storage on your device, along with your settings (such as currency and units). This information is never sent to us or to anyone else. Larder has no server of its own.
If your iPhone is backed up to iCloud or a computer, this data is included in that device backup like other app data, under Apple's terms.
Camera and photos
When you choose to scan a receipt, Larder uses the camera, or a photo you pick, only to read the text on that receipt. Text recognition runs on your device. On devices that support Apple Intelligence, Larder uses Apple's on-device model to tidy item names; this also happens on your device. Receipt images are not saved by Larder and are never uploaded. Larder can only see photos you pick yourself.
Purchases
Larder is unlocked with one purchase made through the App Store. Apple handles the payment, and checking or restoring that purchase happens between your iPhone and Apple under Apple's privacy policy. We never see your payment details, your Apple Account or your contact information, and none of your grocery data is involved. Apple gives us sales totals that do not identify you.
Backups and imports
If you export a backup, Larder creates a file and hands it to the place you choose, such as Files, iCloud Drive or email. What happens to that file afterwards is up to you and the service you pick. Imported lists and backups are read on your device only.
What we do not do
- We do not collect personal information, usage data, diagnostics or identifiers.
- We do not use third party analytics, advertising or tracking tools.
- We do not sell or share any data, because we do not have any.
Deleting your data
You can remove everything at any time in Settings, Erase everything. Deleting the app also deletes all of its data from your device.
Children
Larder does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
