Finicky Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 25, 2026

Finicky ("the app", "we", "us") is a meal-planning app for iOS and Android published by Jay Tong (tvtroid). This policy explains what information the app collects, why, and how it's used.

Information we collect

• Account information. When you create an account, we collect your email address and password (handled by our authentication provider, Supabase; we never see or store your raw password).
• Location. With your permission, the app reads your device's location (only while using the app) to suggest meals and delivery options near you. If you save an address, its text and coordinates are stored on our servers so you can reuse it later — you can view and delete saved addresses at any time from Settings.
• Meal and preference data. Meals you log or plan, dietary preferences, ingredient restrictions, and budget/spice-level preferences are stored so the app can generate and remember relevant suggestions for you.
• Device identifier. The app generates a device identifier used only to enforce the free daily usage limit on AI meal suggestions.
• Purchase information. If you subscribe, the App Store or Google Play sends us a purchase/transaction identifier so we can verify and activate your subscription. We do not receive your payment card details — those are handled entirely by Apple or Google.
• Advertising. Free-tier use of the app shows ads served by Google AdMob. Ads are requested as non-personalized — we do not use the App Tracking Transparency framework and do not track you across other companies' apps or websites. Google's ad SDK may still process basic technical information (such as IP address and device type) to deliver ads and prevent fraud.

How we use this information

We use the information above to operate the app's core features: generating personalized meal suggestions (using Google's Gemini AI — only your preference inputs, such as mood and budget sliders and general location, are sent for this purpose, not your email or account identity), remembering your saved addresses and preferences, enforcing free-tier usage limits, verifying subscriptions, and showing ads to free-tier users.

Who we share information with

We share information only with the service providers that help us run the app:

• Supabase — hosts our database and handles authentication.
• Cloudflare — hosts our backend API.
• Google — provides the Gemini AI meal-suggestion model and the AdMob advertising SDK.
• Apple and Google — process app purchases and subscriptions.

We do not sell your personal information.

Your choices

• Location access can be turned off at any time in your device settings; the app will still work without it.
• Saved addresses can be added or removed from the app's Settings screen.
• You can permanently delete your account and all associated data (meal history, saved addresses, and subscription records) at any time from Settings → Delete Account. This action cannot be undone.

Children's privacy

Finicky is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
