Privacy policy
Last updated 3 October 2026
Appy Plate is a family dinner and shopping list app. This page says plainly what it keeps about you, why, and how to get rid of it.
What we keep
- Your sign-in. The identifier Apple or Google gives us when you sign in, and your email address if you chose to share it. We use it only to recognise you when you open the app. We never see your password.
- Your name. The name you type, shown to the people in your own household and nobody else.
- What your household puts in. The shopping list, the week of dinners, votes, orders, notes, who is cooking, who is not having dinner, shopping history, and the photos of loyalty cards and vouchers that a member of your household adds. All of it is visible only to the members of that household.
- Technical records. Request logs with times and IP addresses, kept for a short period to keep the service running and safe.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or share your information with anyone.
- We do not use advertising or tracking of any kind, in the app or on this site.
- We do not read your other reminders, contacts, photos or messages. If you copy your list into Apple Reminders, the app writes only its own list.
- Price comparison figures come from our own price checks, not from anything about you.
Where it lives
On a server we run in the United Kingdom. Your sign-in token is stored on your phone in its secure keychain. Card and voucher photos are reduced in size on your phone before they are sent, and the server keeps only what you send.
How long
For as long as you have an account. Shopping history is kept for the period shown in the app. When you delete your account, your personal details, your sign-in and everything you alone added are removed; anything you added to a shared list stays with the household it belongs to, without your name against it.
Deleting your account
In the app: Settings, then Delete my account. It happens straight away. If you signed in with Apple, we also tell Apple to revoke the sign-in.
Children
Appy Plate is for households. Children in a household may use the app on a phone an adult has set up for them; we collect nothing from a child beyond what any member adds to the shared list and week.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask for a copy of what we hold (the app has Export my data under Settings), ask us to correct or delete it, or complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. Write to bluesailtechnologies@gmail.com.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes and the app will tell you.
