Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 2025 • Last Updated: January 2025

1. Introduction

Pently is a mobile application designed to help you manage shopping lists and pantry inventory. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our app. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

2. Information We Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information.

All data is created by you and stored locally on your device. This includes:

• Category names and colours
• App preferences and settings
• Product notes and details
• Product photos
• Product inventory
• Shopping list items

This data never leaves your device and is never accessible to us or any third party.

3. Network Access

Pently does not transmit any user data over the network. The app may access the internet for the following purposes only:

• Specials Feature: Fetches publicly available store specials and pricing information from retailers. No user data is sent in these requests.
• Framework Requirements: The underlying app framework may make standard network calls for functionality purposes. No personal data is included.

4. Permissions

Pently may request the following device permissions. You can deny any of these permissions and the core app will continue to function:

• Camera: Used to take photos of products. Photos are stored locally on your device only.
• Storage: Used to save and access product photos on your device.
• Internet: Required for the app framework and to fetch live specials data.
• Location: Used to show nearby specials relevant to your area. Your location is never stored or transmitted to any server.

5. Third-Party Services

Pently does not use any third-party analytics, tracking, advertising, or data collection services. We do not share any data with any third parties because we do not collect any data in the first place.

6. Data Security

All your data is stored in encrypted local storage on your device. Because we do not collect or transmit any data to servers, there is no risk of server-side data breaches. Your data security depends on your device's own security measures.

7. Your Rights

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have full control over it at all times:

• You can view, edit, or delete any data within the app
• You can clear all app data through your device's settings
• You can uninstall the app to remove all data completely

8. Children's Privacy

Pently is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children or anyone else — we do not collect personal information from any users at all.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the app after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
