LarderKeep — Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Short version: LarderKeep has no account server. Your kitchen inventory lives on your devices and syncs through your own private iCloud — the developer never sees it. A few optional features send limited data directly to third parties only when you use them, and the app sends anonymous crash & diagnostic reports so it can be kept stable. That's it: no advertising, no tracking, no analytics profile of you.

What LarderKeep stores

The food items you add are saved on your device using Apple's SwiftData and synced across your own devices through your private iCloud account (Apple CloudKit). This data stays within your Apple account — the developer has no access to it and operates no server that holds your inventory.

Information sent to third parties

Some optional features send limited information directly from your device to third-party services, and only when you actively use that feature:

Barcode lookup — the scanned barcode is sent to Open Food Facts to identify the product.
Identify food by photo — if you enable it with your own API key, the photo you take is sent to Anthropic (Claude) to recognize the item. Without a key, identification runs on-device using Apple Vision and no photo leaves your device.
Recipes — your ingredient names are sent to Spoonacular to find matching recipes.
"What should I cook tonight?" — your ingredient and recipe list is sent to Anthropic (Claude) to generate a suggestion.

Any API keys you enter for these features are stored solely in your device's Keychain and are never transmitted to the developer. Each third party handles the data it receives under its own privacy policy.

Crash & diagnostic reports

LarderKeep uses Sentry to report crashes, app hangs, and errors so the app can be diagnosed and fixed. This includes crash stack traces, performance and diagnostic information, and technical breadcrumbs about what the app was doing. To protect your privacy:

Your identity is represented only by a one-way hashed (pseudonymous) identifier — your name, email, and IP address are not collected.
Any screenshot or view attached to an error report has all text and images masked, so your inventory contents aren't exposed.
This data is used only for stability and debugging. It is not used for advertising, and it is not sold or shared for marketing.

On-device intelligence

Item details are structured by Apple's on-device Foundation Models, and photo identification can fall back to Apple Vision. This processing happens entirely on your device; your groceries are not sent anywhere for it.

Sign in with Apple (optional)

You can sign in with Apple, or continue without signing in. If you sign in, Apple provides an anonymous user identifier which is used only to associate your data with your account. We never receive your email, and Apple's Hide My Email keeps it private if you choose to share one. You can continue as a guest at any time.

Notifications

LarderKeep schedules local "eat soon" reminders on your device. No notification data leaves your device.

Tracking & advertising

LarderKeep does not track you as defined by Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework, contains no advertising, and uses no marketing analytics. The diagnostic reporting described above is for stability only and is not linked to your identity.

Children

The app is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
