Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. This page explains what information the Remember That Thing app (the “App”) collects, how we use it, who we share it with, and what choices you have. By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
The App is published by Maniko Games, Ukraine (“we”, “us”). If you have any questions, contact us.
1. Information we collect
The App lets you save products you have used, with your own rating, comment, category and photos. We collect:
- Account information. You can use the App without registering: in that case we create an anonymous account that has no name or e-mail. If you add an e-mail address, we store it to sign you in and to send you one-time codes. If you choose “Continue with Google”, Google tells us your e-mail address and basic profile (name and picture); we use the e-mail address to identify your account and do not receive your Google password.
- Content you create. Products (name, brand, category, weight or volume, barcode if any), your ratings and comments, and the photos of product packaging that you take or choose from your gallery.
- Categories you type. Category names you enter may be stored in a shared category list so they can be suggested to other users. A new category is reviewed by us before other users can see it; until then it is visible only to you.
- Family and list data. If you create or join a family or a shared shopping list, we store who belongs to it, the invite codes, and the list contents.
- Settings. Your language choices are stored on your device.
- Technical data. Our service providers process technical data needed to run the service, such as IP address, device and app version, and error logs.
We do not sell your personal information. The App does not contain third-party advertising and does not use advertising identifiers.
2. How we use information
- To provide the App: save your products on your phone, back them up, and restore them when you sign in on another phone.
- To sign you in and to send you one-time codes by e-mail.
- To provide shared features, such as families and shopping lists, that you choose to use.
- To suggest categories and to review new categories.
- To recognize a product from the photos of its packaging, if you use this feature (see Service providers).
- To prevent abuse, fix errors and keep the service secure.
3. Sharing with other people
Your products, ratings, comments and photos are private to you. They are visible to other people only when you choose so:
- to members of your family, if you open a product to them or add it to a shopping list shared with the family;
- to people you share a product or list with, when sharing features are available.
Other family members can also see your account name and e-mail if the App shows the member list. Do not put sensitive personal information in product names, comments or photos.
4. Service providers
We use third-party services that process data on our behalf, only to perform their tasks:
| Provider | Purpose | Data |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Database, sign-in and photo storage | Account, products, ratings, comments, photos |
| Sign-in with a Google account (optional) | E-mail address and basic profile you allow Google to share | |
| Resend | Sending e-mails with sign-in codes | E-mail address |
| Anthropic | Recognizing a product from packaging photos (AI model; called only from our server) | The packaging photos you submit for recognition (front and back), the language of your product categories |
When you add a product from photos, the App sends the packaging photos (reduced in size) through our server to Anthropic, which reads the text on the packaging and returns a draft description (brand, name, size, category). You can check and change the draft before saving. We do not send your name, e-mail or account identifier to Anthropic, and we do not use your photos to train models; under Anthropic’s commercial terms, data sent through its API is not used to train its models. The number of recognitions per person is limited each day. Anthropic may keep the data it receives for a limited period under its own terms and privacy policy. Our AI key is kept on our servers and never in the App.
5. Device permissions
- Camera: to take photos of product packaging. Photos are taken only when you press the shutter.
- Photos / media library: only if you choose to pick an existing photo.
You can withdraw these permissions at any time in your device settings.
6. Children’s privacy
The App is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without proper consent, we will delete it promptly. If you believe this has happened, please contact us.
7. Data retention
We keep your data for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account, your data is removed from our servers (see below). Copies in provider backups may remain for a limited period before they are overwritten. We may keep information longer where the law requires it.
8. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live (including under the GDPR and the laws of Ukraine), you may have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you and receive a copy;
- correct inaccurate data (you can edit your products in the App);
- delete your data;
- object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
- lodge a complaint with your data protection authority.
To exercise these rights, write to us at the address below. We will respond as quickly as possible and within the time required by law.
9. Deleting your data
You can delete your account and all your data yourself, inside the App:
- Open the Settings tab.
- Tap Delete account and data and confirm.
- If your account has an e-mail, enter the 6-digit code we send to it.
This permanently deletes your products, ratings, comments, photos and account from your phone and from our servers. It cannot be undone. A family you created is deleted together with your account. Category names that were already approved and added to the shared category list are not linked to you afterwards and may remain.
If you cannot use the App, you can ask us to delete your data by e-mail: write to support@maniko.games from the address linked to your account and state that you request user data deletion. Anonymous accounts have no e-mail, so they can be deleted only inside the App.
10. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction: data is transmitted over encrypted connections, access rules restrict each person to their own data and what has been shared with them, and photos are stored in a private storage. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
11. International transfers
Our service providers may process data in countries other than yours. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a new “Effective date”. We encourage you to review it periodically.
