ShareCart
Privacy Policy

Your privacy,
our priority

ShareCart is built on iCloud. We don't run servers, we don't collect your data, and we don't track you.

Effective date: June 2026
The short version
01

Who we are

ShareCart lets couples and households create, share, and manage grocery lists in real time using Apple's CloudKit infrastructure.

This policy describes what information is involved when you use ShareCart and how it is handled.


02

Data we collect

ShareCart does not collect, store, or process any personal data on our own servers. The only data involved in the app is stored in your personal iCloud account, managed entirely by Apple.

๐Ÿ›’

Grocery lists

List titles, items, quantities, and prices. Stored in your private iCloud CloudKit database.

๐Ÿ‘ค

Display name

The name you enter during onboarding. Stored locally on your device.

๐Ÿ”—

Share links

Generated by Apple's CloudKit when you invite a partner. We never see or store these links.

๐Ÿ“ท

Camera

Used only to scan prices locally on-device. No images are saved or transmitted.


03

iCloud & CloudKit

ShareCart uses Apple's CloudKit framework to sync your data across devices and share lists with your partner. This means:


04

Camera & price scanning

ShareCart includes a price scanner that uses your device's camera to read price labels in the supermarket. Here is exactly how it works:

iOS will show a system permission prompt before the camera is first accessed. You may revoke camera permission at any time in Settings โ†’ Privacy & Security โ†’ Camera โ†’ ShareCart.


06

Data retention & deletion

Because your data lives in your iCloud account, you are in full control of it:

  • Deleting a list in ShareCart removes it from CloudKit immediately.
  • Uninstalling the app removes locally stored preferences (display name, settings).
  • To delete all ShareCart data from iCloud, go to Settings โ†’ [Your Name] โ†’ iCloud โ†’ Manage Account Storage and delete the ShareCart container.
  • We hold no copies of your data and therefore nothing to delete on our end.

07

Children's privacy

ShareCart is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. Because we collect no personal information from anyone, this applies equally to all users.


08

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 the page. For significant changes, we will notify you through an in-app message or App Store release notes.

Continued use of ShareCart after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
