This Privacy Policy applies to the Shared Lists application for iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and Linux, as well as any related services operated by NorthByte Lab (“Shared Lists,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By using Shared Lists, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy. This policy should be read together with any privacy notices or permission prompts shown within the application.

The information we process depends on how you use Shared Lists and which features you choose to enable.

Information you provide

• Account and profile information, including your email address, chosen name, account type, subscription plan, and selected avatar.
• Content you create or add to Shared Lists, including list names, list items, quantities, units, notes, and collaboration activity.
• Information you provide when contacting support, such as your email address, message, screenshots, and any other details you choose to share with us.

Your profile settings may also allow you to change your name or password, select an avatar, review your account and subscription information, and delete your account.

Information received through sign-in providers

When you choose to sign in with Google or Apple, we may receive limited account information provided by that service, such as your name, email address, and a unique account identifier.

We do not receive or have access to your Google or Apple password.

Information collected automatically

• Device, app, diagnostic, performance, and crash information.
• App interactions and general usage information are processed through analytics services to understand usage, maintain performance, and improve Shared Lists.
• Notification tokens when you enable notifications.
• Purchase and subscription information provided by Apple, Google, or another applicable app store, such as your subscription plan, purchase status, renewal status, and expiration date. We do not receive your full payment-card details.
• Advertising-related data processed by advertising providers when ads are displayed.

We use information to:

• Provide, maintain, and synchronize Shared Lists features.
• Create and secure accounts and authenticate users.
• Enable collaboration and display list activity to members of the relevant shared list.
• Process and verify subscriptions and restore purchases.
• Send notifications to members of a shared list when an item is added, deleted, or marked as completed.
• Provide customer support and respond to requests.
• Prevent misuse, protect accounts, and maintain the security of the service.
• Monitor performance, diagnose errors, analyze general usage, and improve Shared Lists.
• Display and measure advertising for users of ad-supported features.
• Comply with applicable legal, regulatory, and app-platform requirements.

Legal bases for processing in the EEA and UK

Where the laws of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom apply, we process information on the following legal bases:

• Performance of a contract: to create and manage your account, store and synchronize lists, provide collaboration features, process subscriptions, and restore purchases.
• Consent: for advertising, analytics, or other processing where consent is required by applicable law. You may withdraw your consent through the available privacy controls.
• Legitimate interests: to secure Shared Lists, prevent misuse, diagnose errors, maintain performance, and improve the service.
• Legal obligations: where processing or retaining certain information is required by applicable law.

We do not sell your personal information. Information may be disclosed only in the following contexts:

• Shared-list members: Your chosen name, list content, and activity related to a shared list may be visible only to other members of that same list as needed for collaboration.
• Service providers: vendors process information on our behalf to provide hosting, authentication, analytics, crash reporting, notifications, advertising, purchases, and support.
• Legal and safety purposes: information may be disclosed where reasonably necessary to comply with law, enforce rights, investigate abuse, or protect users and the service.
• Business changes: information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate safeguards and notice where required.

Shared Lists may use services supplied by Google, Apple, and other vendors. Their processing is governed by their respective terms and privacy policies.

You can review the privacy information published by Google and Apple.

Ad-supported features may display ads through Google AdMob. Depending on your region, settings, consent choices, and applicable law, advertising may be contextual, non-personalized, limited, or otherwise restricted.

Even non-personalized advertising may process limited device or advertising-related information for purposes such as fraud prevention, frequency capping, delivery, and aggregated reporting. Where required, an appropriate consent or privacy-choice message is shown before relevant processing occurs.

You may be able to review or change available privacy choices through the App, your device settings, or the consent interface presented to you.

Retention

We retain information only for as long as necessary to provide Shared Lists, maintain security, process subscriptions, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. When you delete your account, your account information and lists you own are permanently deleted. Activity you previously performed in lists owned by other users may remain as part of the collaboration history, together with the name you chose for your account and an indication that the account has been deleted. Certain transaction, security, or legal records may be retained for the period required by applicable law or legitimate operational requirements.

International processing

Information may be stored or processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we and our providers use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information, including access controls and encryption during transmission. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent.

• You can update available profile information through the App.
• You can manage notification permissions through App or device settings.
• You can use available consent controls for advertising and analytics where offered.
• You can request information or exercise applicable privacy rights through our Support page.
Complaints

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in your country or region.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. Some rights may be limited by law or where retaining information is necessary for security, legal compliance, or the rights of other users.

If you create an account, you can initiate permanent account deletion from within the App. You may also submit an account-deletion request through the Shared Lists Support page.

When account deletion is completed, your email address, authentication information, account details, and lists you own, together with their associated content, are permanently deleted.

If you participated as a member in a list owned by another user, your previous activity in that list, such as items you created, edited, or completed, may remain visible to preserve the list’s collaboration history. The name you chose for your account may remain next to that activity with an indication that the account has been deleted.

Certain transaction, security, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, or legal records may be retained only where reasonably necessary or required by applicable law.

Shared Lists is not directed to children under the age of 13, or under a higher minimum age where required by applicable local law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

If a parent or legal guardian believes that a child has created an account or provided personal information through Shared Lists, they may contact us to request that the information and account be reviewed and deleted.

We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices, services, or legal obligations change. When we make changes, we will revise the effective date shown at the top of this page. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice through an appropriate channel.
