Privacy Policy

1 Introduction

Fango is a food waste tracking app for personal use, available on iOS and Android. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

By using Fango, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the app.

2 Data We Collect

Fango does not collect, store, or transmit personal data to external servers. All data you enter — products, prices, expiry dates, settings, and statistics — is stored locally on your device only.

The app does not require registration, a user account, or an internet connection to function. The developer has no access to your items, settings, or statistics.

Camera (receipt scanning / OCR): If you use the receipt scanning feature, the app requests access to your device camera. Camera images are processed locally or sent to a secure OCR service solely to extract product and price information. Images are not stored, logged, or shared with any third party beyond the immediate processing request, and the results are saved only on your device.

3 Third Parties

Fango uses RevenueCat to manage Fango Pro subscriptions. RevenueCat processes only the data necessary to maintain your subscription status. This may include a device identifier and, on Android, the Android Advertising ID (AAID) if available on your device. RevenueCat does not have access to your food or product data.

Payment transactions are handled exclusively by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) under their own privacy policies. Fango never processes payment information directly.

Receipt scanning (OCR): When you use the receipt scanning feature, the image is sent to a secure backend (Supabase Edge Function) solely to extract text. The image and extracted text are not stored on any server after the request completes.

Fango does not use analytics services, advertising networks, or behavioral tracking technologies of any kind.

4 App Permissions

Fango may request the following device permissions. Each permission is requested only when you use the corresponding feature:

Camera — Used exclusively for scanning receipts (OCR feature). Required only when you initiate a scan. The app does not access the camera in the background.

Internet access — Used to communicate with RevenueCat (subscription management) and the OCR backend when scanning receipts. The app functions fully offline for all other features.

No other permissions are requested. Fango does not request access to contacts, location, microphone, photos/media library, or any other sensitive data.

5 Applicable Law

Fango complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, 2016/679) and the Finnish Data Protection Act (1050/2018).

As the app does not collect personal data on its own servers, no personal data register is formed under the meaning of the GDPR. The subscription data processed by RevenueCat is subject to RevenueCat's own GDPR compliance.

6 Your Rights

You have the right to delete all data stored by the app at any time:

Option A: Open Settings in Fango → scroll to "Danger zone" → tap "Clear all app data".

Option B: Uninstall the app from your device. All locally stored data is permanently removed.

Fango cannot recover deleted data. If you have a Fango Pro subscription, uninstalling the app does not cancel your subscription — manage or cancel it through your App Store or Google Play subscription settings.

7 Security

Since all data resides only on your device, its security depends on your device's own protection (PIN, password, or biometric authentication). We recommend:

• Keeping your device's operating system up to date
• Using a strong PIN or biometric lock on your device
• Enabling automatic backups if you wish to preserve your data

8 Data Retention

Fango does not retain personal data on any server. All data you create within the app is stored exclusively on your device and remains there for as long as you choose to keep it — or until you delete it or uninstall the app.

RevenueCat retains subscription-related data (subscription status and device identifier) in accordance with their own data retention policy. You may contact RevenueCat directly to request deletion of this data.

9 Children's Privacy

Fango is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because Fango does not collect any personal data from users of any age, there is no risk of inadvertent collection from minors.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used the app, please note that no personal data is transmitted or stored outside the device. All data can be deleted by uninstalling the app or using the "Clear all app data" option in Settings.

10 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the Effective Date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically, especially before using a new version of the app.

Continued use of Fango after changes are published constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If changes are significant, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users (for example, through a notice in the app).
