Privacy Policy

NOOK is designed with your privacy in mind. We collect and store the following information locally on your device:

• Budget information and spending limits
• Product data including names, prices, and categories
• Shopping lists and folder organization
• App settings and preferences
• Scanned barcode data for product identification

All data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to external servers.

NOOK requests camera permission to enable barcode scanning functionality. This allows you to:

• Scan product barcodes for quick item entry
• Add products to your shopping lists efficiently
• Access real-time product information

Camera access is only used for barcode scanning; no images or videos are stored, transmitted, or shared. You can deny camera permission, but barcode scanning features will not be available.

All your personal data is stored locally on your device using secure local database storage:

• No account creation required
• No personal information transmitted externally
• Data remains on your device at all times
• You have full control over your data
• Data can be cleared through app settings

NOOK operates entirely offline and does not require:

• User account creation
• Email addresses
• Personal identification information
• Login credentials
• Social media connections

This ensures maximum privacy and security for our users.

NOOK may use the following third-party services:

• Flutter framework for app development
• Local device storage APIs
• Camera APIs for barcode scanning

These services do not collect personal data and operate within the privacy constraints of your device.

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your data:

• Local encryption for sensitive data
• Secure local database storage
• No data transmission over networks
• Regular security updates through app updates

As a user of NOOK, you have the right to:

• Access all your stored data within the app

• Use the app without providing any personal information

Your data is retained locally on your device until:

• You manually delete specific items
• You clear all app data through settings
• You uninstall the application
• You perform a factory reset on your device

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in app updates with a new "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the app after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
