The App allows you also to:

  • make a custom shopping list;
  • rate and recommend our App.

When you install and use our App we may collect certain information about you which may be considered personal data. Below you will find detailed information about those information and their usage, as well as how to control your preferences with regard to such use.

    The scope of such information will depend on the type of interaction and may include: your name, e-mail address, content of messages you send us, entered location etc.
  • Information collected automatically by our App e.g. by means of tracking technologies.

Such information is recorded under a unique identification number (mobile advertising ID) assigned to your device and include: (1) data related to your activity in the App along with timestamps recording the moment of particular events, (2) technical information about the device you are using, (3) IP address indicating your non-specific geographic location e.g. country or region, (4) precise geolocation based on if you decide to disclose it.

This data does not directly disclose your identity - it only identifies the device you use in order to run our App and allows us to measure the use of our App and personalize its content and our ads to that device, as described below.

For this purpose we use the data you provide us voluntarily. For example, if you send us an email via the App, we will process your contact data and the content of such message to handle your query, provide you with relevant information and remember what the query was about.

• personalize the content of our App

We may use information collected about you to adjust the content of the App. We may for instance select relevant retailers’ offers based on your location data. If you do not permit us to detect your precise location and do not enter your location manually, we will only detect your non-precise location letting us know in which city you use the App (basing on your IP address). To do this, we are using the Ipstack solution.

• analyze the use of our App

We may use the collected information concerning your interactions with the content we publish, so that we may monitor the App’s functionalities. Such information may include e.g. time, duration of your visit and its details such as items you clicked etc.

To conduct these analyses, we may also use other third party analytics tools providers which track your actions in the App, namely: Google Firebase and Appsflyer. We use the following Google Firebase features: Real time-overview, Reports, Events, Explore and Configure.

You can opt out from Google Firebase analytic activities by sending the opt out inquiry to our email address together with your Firebase Instance ID (you can find this ID by clicking Device Information button, placed in our App’s settings). Click here to opt out from Appsflyer analytic activities.
