Privacy Policy

Your Account

To use BlueList — shopping lists, recipes, cookbooks and meal planning — you need to create an account. To do that, we only ask for the essentials:

• Your email address and password (or your Google account), used solely to log you in securely.
• A display name, which is shown when you share content with other people.

We do not collect your phone number, physical location, or any other personal details beyond what's listed above.

Your Lists, Recipes and Meal Plans

Everything you create in BlueList — your shopping lists, products, recipes, cookbooks and meal calendar — is stored securely in the cloud so it stays in sync across all your devices and can be shared with whoever you choose.

This content belongs to you. We do not read it, analyze it, or use it for any purpose other than making the app work for you.

Camera and Photos

BlueList can use your camera to scan barcodes and quickly add products to your lists — no typing needed. Photos taken during scanning are never stored or sent anywhere.

You can also choose images from your photo gallery to attach to recipes or products. These are only uploaded if you explicitly select them.

Sharing with Others

BlueList lets you share recipes, cookbooks and shopping lists with friends or family using a unique link or code. A few things to keep in mind:

• Anyone with the link or code will be able to see the content you've shared.
• Your display name may be visible to the people you share with.
• You can stop sharing any item at any time from the app's settings.

Offline Access

BlueList keeps a local copy of your data on your device so the app works even without an internet connection. Your lists and recipes sync automatically to the cloud whenever you're back online.

Cloud Storage and Security

Your data is stored using Google Firebase, a secure and widely trusted cloud platform. Firebase handles login, data storage and image uploads — all with encryption both in transit and at rest.

You can read more about how Google handles data at policies.google.com/privacy.

Analytics and Diagnostics

We use tracking tools like Firebase Analytics or Google Analytics to understand how people use BlueList so we can improve the experience. This data is collected anonymously and does not identify you personally. You can opt out of this tracking at any time through your device settings.

Third-Party Services

To provide our services, BlueList relies on industry-standard third-party providers:

• Google Firebase: Used for user authentication, database storage, and image hosting.
• Payment Processors: Used to securely handle Premium subscriptions (if applicable).

We recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies to understand how they handle your data.

Your Rights

You have full control over your personal data. You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct any inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Export your lists, recipes, cookbooks, and meal plans.
• Request the full deletion of your account and all associated data.

To exercise any of these rights, simply reach out to our support email.

Deleting Your Account

You can delete your account and all associated data at any time directly from the app's settings. Once deleted, your personal data and content are immediately and permanently erased from our servers.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page. We recommend checking back occasionally.
