Taplist

Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2026

Short version: Taplist stores your data on your iPhone. It is not collected, transmitted, or shared. There is no account, no cloud sync, and no analytics tied to you.

What we collect

Nothing personally identifying. We don't ask for an email, name, location, or any other account information to use Taplist.

What stays on your device

Your basket items, quantities, and notes
Your custom Quick Items and category preferences
Your completed basket history
Your floating button position and other UI preferences

All of the above lives in Taplist's local database (SwiftData) on your iPhone. None of it is uploaded.

Advertising

Taplist may display banner ads through Google AdMob to support development. Apple's iOS App Tracking Transparency framework governs whether the ad SDK can request your Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) — you'll see the standard system prompt, and your choice is respected. Taplist itself does not see or store any tracking identifiers.

When you allow personalised ads, AdMob may use the IDFA in line with Google's privacy policy. When you decline, AdMob serves contextual (non-personalised) ads only.

On-device intelligence

When you use the recipe-to-basket feature on a supported device, your description is processed by Apple's on-device foundation models. The text is not transmitted to Apple or to us.

Third-party services

The only third-party service Taplist contacts is Google AdMob, and only when banner ads are enabled. No analytics, crash reporting, or marketing SDKs are included.

Children

Taplist is suitable for all ages but is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any data from children.

Your rights

Because Taplist stores everything locally on your iPhone, you have full control:

Access: all your data is visible in the app at any time.
Deletion: remove individual items, clear your history from within the app, or uninstall Taplist to delete everything.
Portability: share completed baskets as image exports.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date. Significant changes will also be announced in the app's release notes.
