Privacy Policy
Effective October 25, 2026
Savocado is a grocery price-comparison app for iPhone. This policy explains what we collect, why, who we share it with and the choices you have. We built Savocado to work without an account, and we collect as little as we can.
What we collect
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Your location area: the ZIP code you enter, or your location when you choose "Use my current location" | To find stores near you and show their prices. Your ZIP or location stays on your device. Each search sends coordinates (your ZIP code's center, or your location to within about 100 meters) to our servers; our search log keeps them with the search (see "How long we keep data"). |
| An anonymous account identifier | Created automatically so your price watches, assistant limits and Savocado+ status work. It isn't linked to your name or email. |
| Sign in with Apple (optional) | If you choose to sign in, Apple gives us a private user identifier and, if you allow it, an email address (which Apple can hide behind a relay address). We use them only so your lists, price alerts and Savocado+ follow you to a new phone. We never get your Apple password. |
| Your searches, shopping list items you price, and price watches | To look up prices, compare your list across stores and alert you when a price drops. Lists are stored on your device. |
| Questions you ask the assistant and photos you choose to share with it | To answer you (see "AI assistant" below). |
| A push notification token, if you allow notifications | To send price-drop alerts for items you watch. |
| Purchase status from Apple | To unlock Savocado+. Apple processes payments; we never see your card details. |
| Reports you send (a wrong price or an assistant answer) | To fix data and improve answers. |
| Emails you send us | To answer you and fix problems you report. |
| Your IP address and how many requests you send | To block abuse and keep Savocado running for everyone (rate limits). Stored with your account identifier only as short-lived counters, deleted automatically within 3 days. |
We don't ask for your name. We get an email address only if you sign in with Apple and choose to share it, or if you email us. We don't collect your contacts, and the app has no advertising or analytics SDKs.
AI assistant
When you use "Ask Savocado", your question, your general area (ZIP code or approximate coordinates) and any photo you attach are sent to Anthropic, PBC, which provides the Claude AI model, to generate an answer. We ask for your permission before the first question. We don't send your name or email. Please don't include personal information in questions or photos. AI answers can be wrong and are not medical, nutrition or financial advice.
Who we share data with
Only with service providers that help run Savocado, and only what they need:
- Supabase: hosts our database and servers (United States).
- Anthropic: generates assistant answers (see above).
- Price and product data services: receive product search terms and a ZIP code or a store's location to return prices and product details. They never receive your account identifier, name or email.
- Apple: processes subscriptions, delivers push notifications and provides maps.
- Cloudflare: hosts this website, provides its visit counts and forwards email sent to support@savocado.app.
- Google: hosts our support email inbox.
We don't sell or rent personal information, and we don't share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may disclose information if required by law.
How long we keep data
Price watches, push tokens and assistant usage counts are kept until you delete them or your account. Assistant reports and search logs are kept until we delete them; search logs are not linked to you after account deletion. Rate-limit counters (your IP address or account identifier and a request count) are deleted automatically within 3 days, including after you delete your account. Support emails are kept as long as we need them to help you.
Your choices
- Delete your data: Account › Erase my data (or Delete account if you signed in) deletes your account identifier and everything linked to it on our servers (price watches, push tokens, reports and assistant usage counts), clears Savocado's data on your iPhone, and revokes Savocado's access to your Apple ID if you signed in with Apple. Assistant chats are stored only on your iPhone. Past searches stay in our search log without any link to you until they're deleted.
- Location: enter a ZIP code instead of sharing location, or turn location off in iOS Settings.
- Notifications: turn them off in iOS Settings at any time.
- Access or questions: contact us at support@savocado.app. Depending on your state, you may have rights to access, correct or delete your data; we honor these requests for everyone.
Children
Savocado is not directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has used Savocado, contact us and we'll delete the data.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit and stored with access controls. No system is perfectly secure, so we collect as little as possible.
Do Not Track and this website
Savocado doesn't track you across other companies' apps or websites and doesn't let anyone else do so through Savocado, so we treat everyone the same whether or not their browser sends a Do Not Track signal. This website is hosted by Cloudflare, which receives your IP address when you visit, as any web host does. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits and see which pages are viewed, which websites visitors came from, and their country, device type and browser. Cloudflare says Web Analytics uses no cookies or fingerprinting and doesn't track visitors across websites. This website has no ads or ad pixels. The only cookie it may set is a short-lived security cookie, if Cloudflare needs to check that a visitor isn't a bot (Cloudflare's privacy policy).
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date above and, for significant changes, let you know in the app.
