Privacy Policy
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how NOMSai collects, uses, and shares information when you use the NOMSai mobile app, related admin tools, and our public website.
2. Information We Collect
- Account details: email, display name, sign-in provider, and session records.
- Kitchen profile data: pantry items, quantities/units, appliance selections, servings, and planned meals.
- Preference data: liked/disliked ingredients, recipe interactions, and personalization settings.
- Capture data: photo/camera uploads and extracted ingredient candidates you review and confirm.
- Grocery flow data: grocery-plan lines and Amazon handoff intent/click events.
- Optional location data: coarse region/postal level signals when location sharing is enabled.
- Operational telemetry: service logs, error logs, and aggregate analytics events for product quality and safety.
3. Camera Permission and AI Analysis
NOMSai requests camera access so you can scan your kitchen, pantry, and packaged groceries. When you take or upload a photo, we use AI-assisted image analysis (including OCR/vision processing) to detect likely grocery and ingredient items in the image. Those results are shown to you for review before they are added to your pantry list.
- Camera use is permission-based and can be disabled in device settings.
- Photos are used to power grocery/ingredient detection and related product improvements.
- You control final confirmation of detected items before pantry updates are saved.
4. How We Use Information
- Provide pantry-based recipe suggestions and rank meals by readiness, effort, and time.
- Support grocery planning and one-tap handoff to external shopping providers.
- Improve capture quality, recommendation relevance, reliability, and abuse prevention.
- Operate account security features, including login controls and session management.
- Generate aggregate reporting for product operations and service health monitoring.
5. Legal Basis and Consent
Where required, we rely on consent and legitimate interests to process data. Features that use camera, microphone, barcode, OCR, or location are permission-based and can be disabled by you.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell your pantry, household, or preference data to ad networks. We may share data with:
- Infrastructure and hosting providers used to run NOMSai.
- Authentication providers you choose (for example, Google or Amazon sign-in).
- Commerce destination providers when you choose to open external grocery links.
- Law enforcement or regulators when required by law.
7. Data Retention
We retain data for as long as needed to provide the service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our terms. Retention windows may differ by data type (for example, account/session records, pantry history, and analytics).
8. Security
We use technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect your information. No system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your Choices
- Update profile and preference settings in the app.
- Control optional permissions (camera, microphone, and location) in your device/app settings.
- Request account support or data-related help by contacting us.
10. Account and Data Deletion
You can request deletion of your account and associated data on our Account Deletion Page. For requests to delete some or all personal data without deleting your account, use our Data Deletion Page. You may also email support@nomsai.net from your account email address to submit the same request.
11. Children
NOMSai is not intended for children under 13 (or older minimum age where required by local law) without parental or guardian permission.
12. Policy Updates
We may update this policy to reflect product, legal, or security changes. Updated versions will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
