• Send you notifications about expiring pantry items, scheduled meal plans, and other relevant updates (with your consent)
• Analyze usage patterns to improve app features and performance
• Respond to your inquiries and support requests

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate Grosure:

OpenAI

Powers our AI features, including Olive chat, recipe generation, image analysis, and meal planning. Your chat messages and uploaded images are sent to OpenAI for processing.

Grosure does not track you across other companies' apps or websites. We do not use Apple's Advertising Identifier (IDFA) or any equivalent advertising identifier on Android. We do not display third-party advertisements within the app, and we do not share your personal information with advertising networks or data brokers.

7. Data Storage and Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information:

• All data is transmitted using HTTPS encryption
• Your data is stored on secure, managed cloud infrastructure
• Access to user data is restricted to essential operations only
