Rosemary is a family app for the groceries and household items you buy regularly — and for keeping track of what you already have. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. We keep data to the minimum needed to run the app, we don't sell your data, and we don't show ads.
Account information. When you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your name and email address to create your account. If you join as a kid ("Use a code"), you sign in anonymously — we collect no name, email, or other personal information from the child; the device gets an anonymous identifier and the household code is the credential.
Your list content. The items, stores, recipes, how-to-buy choices, purchase history, and household details you create in the app. A parent may optionally add family members' first names (e.g. to label whose item it is); please only add names you're comfortable storing.
Photos (for identification only). If you snap a photo to add an item or scan a recipe card, the image is sent for one-time AI identification and is not stored by us after the item is identified.
Basic technical data. Standard information needed to operate and secure the service (e.g. authentication tokens, error/diagnostic data via our infrastructure providers).
Crash and diagnostic data. When the app crashes, we receive an automatic report through Google Firebase Crashlytics: the technical error trace, your device model and operating system version, and the app version. It does not include your name, email, or any of your list or kitchen content, and it is not tied to your account. We use it only to find and fix bugs.
We do not sell your personal information and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
To normalize items, identify photos, parse spoken lists, and answer questions, the relevant text or image is sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, through our secure backend. We send only what's needed for that feature. Photos are used solely for identification and are not retained by us.
Rosemary is designed for families. The kid ("Use a code") path uses anonymous sign-in and collects no personal information from children — no name, email, or account. Any names associated with a child are entered by a parent and can be removed by the parent at any time. We follow a data-minimization approach consistent with children's-privacy expectations. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
These providers process data on our behalf under their own terms and security commitments.
Your list is shared with the members of your own household (that's the point). We otherwise share data only with the service providers above, or if required by law. We never sell it.
We'd rather be straight with you than hide behind vague promises. Your household's data lives in our database (Google Firebase), and — like almost every app you use — our team can technically access it. That's what lets us fix problems and help you when something goes wrong. Our commitment: we don't browse it, we look only when you ask for help or the service needs debugging, we never sell it, and we never use it for advertising.
We keep your data while your account is active. You can delete your account at any time in the app (Household → Delete my account), which removes your account and your membership/personal data. You can also remove individual items and stores at any time. To request deletion or ask a question, contact us at info@getrosemary.app.
We use industry-standard measures (encrypted transport, authenticated access, server-enforced access rules) to protect your data. No method is 100% secure, but we work to keep your information safe.
Rosemary is for the everyday things your household buys on repeat — groceries, toiletries, vitamins, and over-the-counter basics. It is not a medical app and is not for prescription medications. When you photograph a shelf, Rosemary is built to skip prescription and pharmacy-dispensed medications — it won't log them — and we ask that you don't use Rosemary to track prescriptions. Rosemary gives no dosage, medical, or health advice.
We may update this policy; we'll revise the "Effective date" above and, for material changes, provide notice in the app or by other reasonable means.
