Expiry Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 7, 2026

Expiry helps you track household items, expiry dates, locations, shopping list entries, reminders, household sharing, and related household activity. This policy explains what data the app handles and how it is used.

Data You Add to the App

The app may store the inventory information you enter or create, including item names, brands, barcodes, quantities, categories, locations, expiry dates, opened dates, notification settings, notes, shopping list entries, household names, household members, item photos, and change log history.

iCloud and Household Sharing

Expiry can use Apple's iCloud and CloudKit services to sync your data across your devices and, when you choose to share a household, with the people you invite. Shared household data is available to invited household members. Apple's handling of iCloud data is governed by Apple's privacy terms.

Household sharing may store member display names, iCloud record identifiers, invitation status, owner/member roles, and whether a member has Pro access granted by the household owner. A Pro household can include one owner and up to four invited guests. If you invite someone to a shared household, that person can see the shared household's items, photos, locations, categories, shopping list entries, and activity that belong to that household.

Photos, Barcode Scanning, and OCR

If you use item photos, barcode scanning, or expiry date scanning, the app may process images or camera input to help identify products or read expiry dates. Camera and photo access is only used for app features you choose to use.

Expiry date and text recognition are processed on device using Apple's Vision technologies. Barcode product lookup is best-effort and may send the scanned barcode to the Open Food Facts service to retrieve a product name and brand. Item photos you attach are stored locally and, if iCloud sync or household sharing is active, in the relevant iCloud container.

Notifications

If you enable reminders, Expiry uses notification data such as item names and expiry dates to schedule local notifications on your device.

Diagnostics and Feedback

If you send feedback or an error report, the information you choose to include may be used to diagnose bugs and improve the app. Feedback and error reports are sent by email from your chosen mail app. Error reports may include app version, iOS version, device model, and recent app error log entries if you choose to include them. Expiry does not use this information for advertising.

Payments and Subscriptions

Purchases, subscriptions, renewals, cancellations, and refunds are handled by Apple through the App Store. Expiry receives transaction information from StoreKit to determine whether Pro features should be unlocked, but it does not receive your full payment card details.

Pro access may come from your own App Store purchase or subscription, or from being an invited member of a Pro household. Expiry stores only the entitlement information needed to unlock app features.

Data Sale and Advertising

Expiry does not sell your personal data, does not track you across apps or websites, and does not use your inventory data for third-party advertising.

Data Deletion

You can use Settings > Account > Delete All My Data in Expiry to delete app data stored by Expiry on your device, including items, households, categories, locations, shopping list entries, app settings, diagnostics, and pending reminders. This action cannot be undone. Deleting a shared household or removing a member may affect access for other household members. If iCloud sync or household sharing is enabled, you can also manage or remove app data associated with iCloud using Apple's iCloud settings. App Store purchases and subscriptions are managed separately through your App Store account.
