Food Pilot Privacy Policy
Effective date: 6 November 2026
This policy explains what the Food Pilot Android app does with your information. Food Pilot is provided by Game Crust ("we"). If you have a question, email crust.games2023@gmail.com
The short version
- Your pantry, meal plans, shopping list and food preferences are saved on your phone.
- You can use the app as a guest, without an account.
- Some features send limited information to other services. These are Google sign-in, subscriptions, price estimates and ads.
- We do not sell your personal information.
Information saved on your phone
The app saves the following on your device:
- Your household size, budget, cooking time, diet, allergies and foods to avoid
- Your pantry items, meal plans, completed meals, shopping list and favourites
- Recipes you add, purchase prices you enter or confirm, and your app settings
We do not receive this information. If your phone's backup is turned on, Android may include app data in your Google backup.
Photos and receipts
When you scan a receipt, food photo or recipe, the photo is read on your phone. We do not upload it to our services. Only the items and details you review and save are kept in the app.
Google sign-in
Signing in is optional. If you sign in with Google, Google and Firebase Authentication process your name, email address and an account identifier so that you can use your account.
Subscriptions
Google Play handles checkout and your payment details. We do not receive your card or bank details.
To confirm a subscription, our billing service, hosted on Cloudflare, receives your sign-in token and purchase information from the app, and checks the purchase with Google Play. It stores:
- Your account identifier
- Purchase tokens and your order ID
- Your subscription product and plan
- Your expiry date and when the purchase was last checked
We also give Google Play a scrambled version of your account identifier, so that a purchase can be matched to your account.
Location and price estimates
Price estimates are optional. If you allow approximate location, the app gets your approximate position once, while you are using the app, and rounds it. The app does not track your location in the background or save it.
The rounded position and ingredient names are sent to our pricing service, hosted on Cloudflare, to find a nearby supported store and look up estimates through Kroger's service. Our pricing service is set up not to keep request logs. If you turn location off, the rest of the app still works.
Ads
The app can offer optional rewarded videos through Google AdMob. Google may collect device and advertising identifiers and use them to provide ads, according to your consent choices. You can review these choices in Settings under Ad privacy choices. Paid Plus members do not need rewarded videos.
Other connections
- Recipe links: if you add a recipe from a link, your phone contacts that website directly.
- Reminders: meal and grocery reminders are created on your phone. You choose whether to turn them on.
- Service providers: companies such as Google and Cloudflare can see technical details needed to deliver a request, such as your IP address.
The app does not include Facebook or Unity services, or Google Analytics for Firebase.
How long we keep information
- Information on your phone stays until you remove it, reset the app or uninstall it.
- Our billing service keeps up to eight purchase records per account. Expired records older than 60 days are removed the next time the account is checked. Remaining records are kept until you ask us to delete them.
- Google and other providers keep information according to their own policies.
Deleting your information
- On your phone: open the person icon, then choose Clear All Local Data & Reset. Uninstalling the app also removes its data from your phone.
- Your account and subscription records: email crust.games2023@gmail.com from your Google account's email address, with the subject "Delete my Food Pilot data". We will delete your account and subscription records within 30 days, except where we must keep information to meet a legal obligation.
Signing out does not delete this information. Deleting your data does not cancel a subscription. Cancel it in Google Play.
Your choices and rights
You can use the app without signing in, and you can turn off location, reminders and optional ads. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete your personal information. Email us to make a request.
Security
We use encrypted connections and limit what we store, but no method of storing or sending information is completely secure.
Children
Food Pilot is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has given us personal information, email us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app changes. We will post the new version on this page and change the effective date.
