We take the protection of your data very seriously and comply with applicable laws and regulations. In the following, we will give you an overview of what data is processed for what purpose and what happens to your personal data when you use our Android app “Grocy Android: Self-hosted Groceries Management” (hereafter often called just “Grocy”, with no further connection to the official grocy project by Bernd Bestel). Personal data (hereafter often referred to as just “data”) is any data with which you can be personally identified.
1. Responsibility
Responsible person according to Art. 4 GDPR and service provider according to the Telemediengesetz (TMG):
Patrick Zedler
You can find more information and contact details in About.
2. Collected data
We do not collect any data in Grocy. The app does not use ads, tracking or analytics services. Internet access is used only to connect to your Grocy instance and to enable features such as retrieving Open Food Facts data. These features must be explicitly enabled in settings to best protect your privacy by default.
Contact
If you contact us via email, you agree that your data will be stored for the purpose of processing your request and for any further correspondence. If there is no reason for us to further store your data or if you exercise your right of revocation, your data will be deleted. Your data will never be passed on to third parties.
Crash reports
If you have installed Grocy via Google Play, diagnostic data about your app usage may be sent to Google, as described in the Google Account Help for Android. You can turn this on or off in the privacy settings of your Android device, usually this setting is already asked for when you set up your device. The collected data is automatically forwarded to the respective app developers, i.e. to us in the case of our apps, if this option is enabled.
Specifically, this involves the causes of crashes, also called “crash logs”, as well as the number and time of the crashes that occurred. We can also see which version of the app the crashes happened on. In the vast majority of cases, this data helps us a lot, so we can search for the displayed errors and fix them faster. The transmitted data is only information about crashes, no other usage or diagnostic data is transferred to us.
However, the data provided to the developers does not constitute personal data because no individuals can be uniquely identified with the information given.
3. Duration of storage
We store your data only as long as it is necessary for a final processing of your request.

If the processing of personal data concerning you is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or for the protection of our legitimate interests, you have the right to object.
