Your data, minded

Privacy policy.

Plain-spoken answers about what we keep, why we keep it, and the control you have over it.

Last updated · 29 May 2026

Overview

Foodminder helps you keep track of the food in your fridge and larder so you can use it up before it goes to waste. To do that, we handle a small amount of information about you and your kitchen. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have.

Template notice. This is a starting draft written to match common privacy practices. Have it reviewed by a qualified professional before you publish it as your live policy.

Information we collect

  • The food items, storage locations and dates you add to your kitchen.
  • Messages you send us through the contact form or support.

Sharing & disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers who help us operate the app (for example, hosting and email delivery), under agreements that require them to protect it, and where required by law.

  • Export your kitchen data.
  • Opt out of marketing messages.
  • Control reminders and notifications from within the app.

Cookies & tracking

We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in and to understand aggregate usage. You can control these through your browser or device settings.

Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data in transit and at rest. No system is perfectly secure, but we work hard to safeguard your information and will tell you promptly if anything material changes.

Children's privacy

Foodminder is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes we will update the date below and, where appropriate, let you know in the app.
