Privacy Policy for ProduceHero

Effective Date: 2/21/2026

ProduceHero (“we,” “our,” or “us”) values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile app (the “App”). By using the App, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

• Account Information
  When you sign up via email, we collect your email address and basic account details. This information is used to create and manage your account.
• User-Generated Content
  The App allows you to upload images of produce items for analysis. These images are securely stored using Firebase Storage provided by Google.
  
  When you scan or upload a photo for produce identification and freshness analysis, the image is processed by Google’s Gemini AI service. This processing occurs securely and is used solely to generate results within the App.
  
  We do not sell your images, use them for advertising purposes, or use them to train our own artificial intelligence models. Images are retained only as long as necessary to provide the App’s functionality and may be deleted at any time by deleting your account.
• Subscription and Payment Information
  If you subscribe to premium features, payments are processed securely through Apple’s In-App Purchase system operated by Apple Inc. We use RevenueCat to manage subscription status and validate purchase receipts. RevenueCat processes subscription-related data such as transaction identifiers and subscription status. We do not store or have access to your credit card information.

  We may collect limited non-personal information such as app performance data, crash reports, or analytics to improve the App.
