Privacy Policy

Introduction

RecallAlert ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy. Our business model is simple: we provide a tool for you to check product safety. We are not in the business of harvesting or selling user data. This Privacy Policy explains our minimal data collection practices (specifically for notifications) and how we ensure your data stays yours.

Information We Collect

No Personal Data

We do not collect, store, or process any personal identifiers such as:

• Your Name
• Email Address
• Phone Number
• Precise Location (GPS)

Minimal Data Collection (Notifications Only)

We collect only the absolute minimum required to provide the services you explicitly request:

• Anonymous Device Tokens: If you choose to enable push notifications for real-time alerts, we store an anonymous token generated by Apple. This token allows us to send alerts to your device but is not linked to your identity or any personal data.

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

The following data is stored only on your iPhone and is never sent to our servers:

• Saved Recalls: Your personal bookmarks.
• Category Preferences: Which types of products you want to track.
• State Selections: Filtering preferences for local recalls.

Feature-Specific Privacy

Push Notifications

You are in control. Notifications are:

• Opt-In Only: We never send alerts without your permission.
• Content-Specific: We use your anonymous token to route alerts (e.g., "Food Safety" alerts) that match your preferences.

Third-Party Services

We use a limited set of trusted service providers to make the app work:

• Supabase: For storing the anonymous notification tokens.
• Apple Push Notification Service (APNs): To deliver the actual alerts to your screen.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy as our app evolves. We will notify you of significant changes through the app. The latest version will always be available here.
