ReFresh

Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 10, 2026

Who we are

ReFresh (“we”, “us”) includes the ReFresh mobile application and the ReFresh web experience (this site). Together they help you track food at home, understand what to use first, and get meal ideas aligned with what you have.

Information we process

  • Mobile app (on-device). Inventory items you add—such as names, categories, quantities, and optional best-before dates—are stored locally on your device using Apple’s SwiftData unless you use features that explicitly sync or send data elsewhere.
  • Photos and scans. Images you capture for safety checks or inventory may be processed on-device (for example with on-device models where enabled) or sent to our servers or third-party AI providers only when you use flows that require network analysis. We process such content to deliver the feature you requested.
  • Web account. If you sign in on the web, we process account identifiers (such as email), session data, and content you submit through authenticated features, in line with your use of those features.
  • Preferences. Settings like display name, cuisine region, or onboarding choices may be stored on-device and/or in your account profile where applicable.
  • Diagnostics. We may collect limited technical data (device type, app version, crash logs) to keep the service reliable and secure.

How we use information

We use the information above to:

  • Provide core features (inventory, expiring-soon insights, meal suggestions).
  • Improve accuracy and safety of automated suggestions.
  • Maintain security, debug issues, and comply with law where required.

Third-party services

Some features rely on providers such as cloud AI (for example Google Gemini) or hosting and authentication vendors. Those providers process data under their terms and only as needed to perform the service we configure. We encourage you to review their privacy notices.

Retention

On-device data remains until you delete it or remove the app. Server-side data is retained only as long as needed for the feature, legal obligations, or legitimate business purposes, then deleted or anonymized where possible.

Your choices

  • Delete items or reset app data from within the mobile app where available.
  • Adjust permissions for camera and photos in your device settings.
  • Contact us to ask about access, correction, or deletion for account-held data.

Children

ReFresh is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

International transfers

If you use our services from outside the country where servers are located, your information may be transferred and processed across borders with appropriate safeguards as required by law.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and update the “Last updated” date.
