Privacy Policy & Data Deletion
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Orbit Tech Lab ("we", "us", or "our") manages information in connection with the mobile application ShopList (package name: com.orbittechlab.shoplist).
We respect your privacy. ShopList is engineered from the ground up as a standalone, offline utility that does not require an account, does not connect to any company backend server, and does not collect personal identifiers.
2. Data Collection & Storage
ShopList does not collect personal information. Specifically:
| Data Category | Collected by App? | Storage Location | Shared with Third Parties? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal Identifiers (Name, email, phone, address, ID) | No | N/A (Not requested or saved) | No |
| Account Credentials (Usernames, passwords) | No | N/A (No account required) | No |
| User Shopping Content (List names, items, quantities, units, prices) | Yes (locally entered by user) | On-device local storage only (AsyncStorage) | No |
| App Preferences (Theme mode, currency, default units, haptics) | Yes (locally entered by user) | On-device local storage only | No |
| Location Information (GPS, Wi-Fi, IP location) | No | N/A (No location access) | No |
| Financial Information (Credit cards, bank details) | No | N/A (No payments or billing in app) | No |
| Analytics & Diagnostics (Crash logs, usage tracking) | No | N/A (No analytics or crash SDKs included) | No |
3. How We Use Information
Because all data remains on your device, the information you input is used solely by the app software running locally on your hardware to:
- Display your shopping and grocery lists;
- Calculate running totals and item counts for your budget;
- Remember frequently bought items in your local Item History for quick re-addition;
- Save your preferred currency and display mode (Light / Dark).
We do not have access to your shopping lists or your device storage.
4. Third-Party Services, SDKs & Advertising
ShopList is strictly ad-free and tracker-free:
- No Advertising SDKs: We do not integrate Google AdMob, Unity Ads, AppLovin, or any ad networks.
- No Analytics SDKs: We do not integrate Google Firebase Analytics, Facebook SDK, Adjust, AppsFlyer, or any telemetry tracking tools.
- User-Initiated Sharing: When you tap "Share via WhatsApp" or "Share List", ShopList uses the standard Android operating system Share sheet (
ACTION_SEND). The text message containing your shopping list is passed to your chosen recipient application under your direct control. No data is sent to Orbit Tech Lab.
5. Device Permissions
ShopList adheres to the principle of minimal privilege. The app requests only the permissions necessary for its user-facing functions:
android.permission.VIBRATE(Normal permission): Used solely to provide subtle haptic vibration feedback when checking off items in your shopping list. This feedback can be disabled anytime in More → Shopping Preferences → Haptic Feedback.- No Sensitive Permissions: ShopList does not request or use camera, microphone, contacts, precise/background location, storage access frameworks, calendar, or phone state permissions.
6. Data Deletion Policy & Instructions
Because ShopList stores all data on your local device and does not maintain any user accounts or remote cloud databases, you maintain 100% control over your data at all times. You can delete your data immediately using any of the following methods:
Method 1: Direct In-App Deletion (Recommended)

Method 3: Clear Storage via Android Settings

Assistance & Data Deletion Requests
Since we do not store your data on remote servers, we cannot access or delete data on your device remotely. However, if you have questions or need assistance, you can email our support team at support@orbittechlab.com with the subject line "Data Deletion Request - ShopList".
7. Children's Privacy
ShopList does not address anyone under the age of 13. The app is a general-audience shopping utility. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13. If you have reason to believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at support@orbittechlab.com so we can take appropriate measures.
8. Security
We value your trust. All data created within ShopList is stored in the private application sandbox provided by Android, which prevents other apps from reading your shopping lists or prices. We also deliberately configure allowBackup: false to prevent automated unencrypted backups to external servers.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
