Privacy Policy

1. 1. Introduction

Listiq ("we", "the app", "the service") respects your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it — both on listiq.ro and in the Listiq mobile app.

2. 2. Data Controller

The data controller is Listiq, based in Romania. For any questions about your personal data, you can contact us at contact@listiq.ro.

3. 3. What Data We Collect

On listiq.ro

When you visit our website, we automatically collect:

• Technical data: IP address, browser type, operating system, screen resolution
• Browsing data: pages visited, visit duration, traffic source
• Analytics cookies via Google Analytics — to understand website traffic
• Google Tag Manager data — site interaction events

In the Listiq app

When you use the app, we store locally on your phone:

• Your shopping lists and the products you add
• Loyalty cards (store name, barcode) — stored only on your device
• Your preferences: language, theme, font size, region
• Product photos — stored locally on your device; uploaded to the server only for products on a list you share
• Feedback and bug reports you voluntarily submit through the app
• The locality you pick for Market (town or commune, county and the radius in kilometres) — stored only locally, in your preferences

Data collected automatically from the app

• Device info: model, OS version (for crash reports — Firebase Crashlytics)
• Anonymized usage events: which features are used (Firebase Analytics)
• Push notification token (Firebase Cloud Messaging) and an anonymous installation identifier — not linked to your real identity
• A randomly generated unique identifier (UUID) — not your name or email
• The names of unchecked products on your lists — sent to the Listiq server only while the “Price drop” notification is on, so we can tell you when a price falls
• Product and store usage statistics (what is searched for, what is added) and the Android advertising identifier (AD_ID) for ad measurement — both only with your consent, withdrawable at any time in Settings
• Your approximate position, only if you tap “Use my location” or have a radius active in Market — accurate to hundreds of metres, rounded to about 110 m before it leaves the phone, used on the spot to find stores near you; it is not stored on the server and is not linked to your identity
• Product and store usage statistics (what is searched for, what is added) and the Android advertising identifier (AD_ID) for ad measurement — both only with your consent, withdrawable at any time in Settings

4. 4. Why We Collect This Data

• Service delivery: so the app works correctly and saves your lists
• App improvement: to understand which features are used
• Debugging and stability: to identify and fix errors quickly (Crashlytics)
• Notifications: to send you relevant information (only with your consent)
• Website analytics: to understand how visitors interact with the site (Google Analytics)
• Ad measurement: to know how many people install Listiq after seeing an ad and whether they then use the app, so that ads reach the right people (only with your consent). We do not use the data to choose which ads you see.

5. 5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process data:

• Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics (Google) — usage analytics, crash reports and ad measurement, including the advertising identifier; switched on only with your consent
• Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) — push notifications
• Supabase — our server: feedback and crash reports you send voluntarily, your notification preferences, the names of products tracked for “Price drop”, the lists you choose to share along with their products, and the usage statistics you consented to
• Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager — website traffic analysis (listiq.ro)

6. 6. Cookies (Website Only)

The listiq.ro website uses cookies for:

• Essential cookies: required for the website to function (language preference, theme)
• Analytics cookies: Google Analytics — to understand traffic and visitor behavior
• Google Tag Manager cookies: for managing analytics scripts

7. 7. Data Storage & Security

Your lists, loyalty cards and photos stay on your phone, in an SQLite database. We do not read them from there. They leave for our server in three situations only, all started by you. First: while the “Price drop” notification is on, the names of unchecked products on your lists. Second: a list you choose to share — that sends its title and description, your display name and, for each product, the quantity, unit, price, notes, store and photo, which lands in a file with a public but hard-to-guess address so the people you shared with can see it. Third: usage statistics, if you consented. Outside these three situations, nothing you type on your lists leaves — and list titles, quantities and prices do not leave for “Price drop” either, which sends only product names. Loyalty card numbers never leave in any situation. Everything sent travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) and is kept only as long as needed for the purposes above.

9. 9. Children

Listiq does not knowingly collect data from persons under 16. If you are a parent and believe your child has provided us with personal data, contact us at contact@listiq.ro.

10. 10. Changes

We may update this policy periodically. The current version will always be available on our website. If changes are significant, we will notify you through the app or website.
