SimpleShelf is designed to work without knowing who you are.
- No accounts, no tracking, no ads. We don't use analytics, cookies, or advertising trackers.
- Stored on your device only. Your last-chosen store, cached search results for stores searched live, and whether you dismissed the install prompt are kept in your browser's local storage and cache so the app works fast and offline. You can clear them anytime in your browser settings.
- Third-party requests. Product photos load from Open Food Facts (images.openfoodfacts.org). When you type a store that isn't built in, your search (store name and category) is sent to the Open Food Facts API (world.openfoodfacts.org). Those requests reveal your IP address to Open Food Facts as with any website; see the Open Food Facts privacy policy.
- Hosting. Our web host may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and pages requested) for security and reliability.
- Children. SimpleShelf is a general-audience tool and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone.
