Privacy Policy & Terms of Use

ShopPing ("the App," "we," "us") is developed by Natalia Gurevich. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App interacts with and how it's used. We've written it in plain language wherever possible.

1 Information we collect

The App works entirely offline, without any account or sign-up. The following is created and stored only on your device, in the App's local storage:

• The ZIP code you enter, used to tailor which stores are suggested to you.
• The store chains you select.
• Your shopping list items — names, checked/unchecked status, notes, and any photos or product links you add.
• Store locations, if you use the App's testing feature to assign a location to a store.
• Your chosen alert-distance settings, both the overall default and any per-store overrides.

We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other account information — the App has no accounts to collect them for.

2 Location data

With your permission, the App uses your device's location to calculate the distance between you and stores you've saved, so it can show a local notification when you're nearby. This calculation happens entirely on your device. Your location is never sent to us or to any third party, is never stored beyond what's needed for that calculation, and is never used for advertising or analytics.

You can revoke location permission at any time in your device's Settings. The nearby-store notification feature will stop working, but the rest of the App will continue to work normally.

3 Camera & photos

If you attach a photo to a shopping list item, the App will ask for access to your camera or photo library. Photos you select are stored locally as part of your shopping list data. We never upload, view, or have access to these photos.

4 Data storage & security

All App data lives locally on your device using standard iOS/Android app storage. It isn't protected by a separate password, so anyone with access to your unlocked device could view it — we recommend relying on your device's own screen lock.

Because there is no server, there is no copy of your data anywhere else, which also means we cannot recover it if you lose your device, uninstall the App, or clear its storage.

5 Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, share, or transmit your data to any third party, advertiser, or analytics provider — the App sends no data anywhere. It currently includes no third-party SDKs, analytics, or advertising services.

If you tap a product link you've added to an item, you'll leave the App and open that page in your browser; that site's own privacy practices apply, not ours.

6 Your choices

Because everything is stored locally, you're always in full control:

• Delete individual items, stores, or your ZIP code at any time within the App.
• Uninstalling the App permanently deletes all of its data from your device (subject to your device's own backup behavior, such as iCloud or Google device backups, which we don't control).
• Revoke location, camera, or notification permissions at any time in your device's system Settings.

7 Children's privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children — nor from anyone, since everything stays on-device. The App is intended for a general audience aged 13 and older.

8 Future changes to how data is handled

If we add features that require a server, an account, or data leaving your device — for example, syncing your list across your own devices — we will update this Privacy Policy first and clearly describe what changes and what choices you have.

9 Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top will reflect the latest revision. Continuing to use the App after changes take effect means you accept the revised policy.

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Natalia Gurevich ("we," "us," "our") governing your use of the ShopPing mobile application (the "App"). By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms — if you don't agree, please don't use the App.

1 Acceptance of terms

You must be at least 13 years old, or the age of digital consent where you live, to use the App. By using it, you confirm you meet this requirement.

2 License to use the app

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms.

3 What the app does — and doesn't — guarantee

The App helps you keep shopping lists and can notify you when you're near a store you've saved. Please keep in mind:

• Store names and categories are a general reference list and may not reflect real-time hours, inventory, prices, or exact locations.
• Location-based notifications depend on your device's GPS accuracy, battery and power settings, OS permissions, and connectivity, and may be delayed, inaccurate, or may not arrive at all.
• Do not rely on the App for time-critical, safety-critical, medical, or financial decisions.

4 Disclaimer of warranties

5 Limitation of liability

Some jurisdictions don't allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you.

6 Assumption of risk

You use the App at your own risk. You're solely responsible for independently verifying any store information — hours, location, availability — before relying on it, and for using the App safely, including never interacting with your phone while driving or in any situation requiring your full attention.

7 Third-party links & content

Items in your list may include links you add to third-party websites, such as a product page. These are provided for convenience only — we don't control, endorse, or take responsibility for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site.

8 Your content

Any content you create in the App — item names, notes, photos — remains yours. Since it's stored only on your device and never transmitted to us, we claim no rights to it.

9 Intellectual property

The App's name, logo, design, and underlying software belong to us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property law. These Terms don't grant you rights to our trademarks or branding beyond what's needed to use the App normally.

10 Termination

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the App, or your access to it, at any time, with or without notice. These Terms remain in effect until terminated by either party; you may stop using the App and delete it whenever you like.

11 Apple App Store additional terms

If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, you additionally acknowledge that:

• These Terms are between you and us only, not Apple — Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App.
• If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation regarding the App.
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer-protection claims.
• Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

12 Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where applicable consumer-protection law requires otherwise.

13 Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continuing to use the App after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.

14 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full force and effect.
