Privacy
Policy.
Effective Date: June 3, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Tuckie ("App", "we", "us", or "our"). Tuckie is a personal inventory and item management app that helps you track the items you own — across your home, storage, or anywhere else.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use Tuckie, and describes the rights you have over your data.
By downloading or using Tuckie, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly
- Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and optionally a display name.
- Profile Data: Optional profile photo or avatar you choose to set.
- Inventory Data: Item names, descriptions, categories, tags, photos, and any other details you add to your inventory.
- Item Storage Locations: Text labels you provide to describe where you have stored or placed an item (e.g., "Top shelf in study", "Kitchen cupboard"). This is entirely user-defined text — Tuckie does not collect your device's physical or GPS location.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
- Device Information: Device type and operating system version.
2.3 Device Permissions
Tuckie requests only the permissions necessary to provide its core features. Here is a precise breakdown:
| Permission | When & Why It Is Used |
|---|---|
| Camera | Requested only when you choose to photograph an item you are logging. Never used in the background. |
| Microphone | Requested only when you use the voice input feature to dictate where you are storing an item. Never used outside of this explicit action. |
| Storage / Photos | Required on some devices to save or retrieve item photos from your device gallery. |
We do not request or use the following permissions:
- ❌ Device GPS or physical location
- ❌ Contacts or address book
- ❌ Phone state, call logs, or SMS
- ❌ Background location tracking of any kind
"Location" in the context of Tuckie always means a user-defined text label describing where an item is stored — it is never your device's physical coordinates.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
| Purpose | Legal Basis |
|---|---|
| To provide and operate the Tuckie service | Contractual necessity |
| To sync your inventory data across your devices | Contractual necessity |
| To diagnose bugs and improve app stability | Legitimate interest |
| To send service-related notifications (e.g., account alerts) | Contractual necessity |
| To comply with legal obligations | Legal obligation |
We will never use your data for advertising profiling or sell it to data brokers.
4. Data Storage and Security
4.1 Where We Store Your Data
Your data is stored securely on cloud servers (currently within the EU/US regions). All data is encrypted at rest and in transit.
4.2 Security Measures
- Authentication: Tuckie uses Google Sign-In for authentication. We do not store or manage passwords. Your credentials are handled entirely by Google and are subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
- Data Isolation: Your inventory is strictly isolated from other users' data at the database level. No other user can access, read, or modify your items.
- Encryption in Transit: All communication between the app and our servers uses HTTPS. Data is never sent over unencrypted connections.
- Encryption at Rest: All data is encrypted at rest on our cloud infrastructure.
- Inventory Content: Your inventory data (item names, descriptions, storage locations, photos) is stored in readable form so the app can display, search, and sync it. Tuckie does not offer end-to-end encrypted storage.
- Access Controls: Access to production systems is strictly limited to authorised personnel and only when operationally necessary.
4.3 Data Retention
- Your account data and inventory are retained for as long as your account is active.
- When you delete your account from within the app, all your stored data, including personal data and inventory, is permanently deleted immediately.
5. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: We use third-party services (e.g., Supabase for backend infrastructure) that process data on our behalf under strict data processing agreements.
- Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users or the public.
- Business Transfer: In the event of a merger or acquisition, your data may be transferred. We will notify you before this occurs.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: Request that inaccurate or incomplete data be corrected.
- Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data ("Right to be Forgotten"). You can also delete your account directly within the app.
- Portability: Request a portable export of your inventory data (e.g., JSON or CSV format).
- Objection: Object to certain processing of your data for legitimate interest purposes.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address in Section 9.
7. Children's Privacy
Tuckie is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 where applicable under GDPR). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.
8. Third-Party Services
