BIUM Privacy Policy

1. Service Name

BIUM is an Android app that helps users manage food expiry dates and storage status on their own device.

2. Stored Information

The app stores food information that the user enters directly on the device.

• Food name, quantity, and storage location
• Consume-by date, expiry date, or best-before date
• Food status: active, consumed, discarded, or frozen
• User notes or parts of OCR source text entered by the user
• Shopping list, notification settings, and subscription status

3. Photos and OCR

Camera photos are used only to recognize printed dates.

• Photos are not permanently stored after date recognition.
• Photos are not uploaded to a server.
• Date recognition is processed with on-device OCR.
• Recognized date candidates and the user-confirmed result may be saved in the food record.

4. Local-First Storage

Food records, shopping lists, report records, and local settings are stored first on the user's device. BIUM does not send food records to its own server.

The app disables Android Auto Backup so food records, shopping lists, and local settings are not automatically stored in Google Backup by app configuration.

5. Payments and Subscriptions

PRO subscription payments are processed through Google Play and RevenueCat. The app may check subscription status needed for access, but it does not directly store payment method details such as card numbers.

6. Notifications

If the user enables notifications, the app may show reminders for foods nearing their date or for opened foods. Notifications can be turned off in the user's device settings.

7. Third-Party Services

The app may use the following services.

• Google Play Billing: subscription payment processing
• RevenueCat: subscription entitlement verification
• Google ML Kit Text Recognition: on-device text recognition

8. Data Deletion

Using the clear-data feature in Settings deletes food records, shopping lists, and local settings stored on the device. Notification settings are also turned off and scheduled app notification work is canceled.

Requests related to deletion of subscription entitlement data can be sent to the developer email registered in Google Play Console. Payment records or information that must be retained legally may be handled according to Google Play, RevenueCat, or applicable legal policies.

9. Contact

For privacy-related questions, please contact the developer email registered in Google Play Console.
