GarlicBird Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to GarlicBird for iOS, including the App Store version.
Summary
GarlicBird is designed as a local shopping calculator. The app does not require an account, does not include advertising SDKs, does not track users, and does not sell user data.
Information GarlicBird does not collect
- No account information
- No advertising identifiers
- No analytics or tracking data sent to the developer
- No location data
- No contact list, photo library, microphone, or camera data
Information stored locally on your device
GarlicBird stores the data it needs locally on your device so the app can work as expected. Depending on the features you use, this may include:
- Calculation history
- Custom units you create
- Compare drafts and reusable calculation details
- Selected home currency and app preferences
- Cached exchange-rate data and update time
This information is stored on your device and is not sent to the developer by the app.
Exchange-rate requests
When you use currency conversion, GarlicBird may request exchange rates from ExchangeRate-API at open.er-api.com. The request is used to fetch rate tables for reference conversion. GarlicBird does not send your product names, calculation history, custom units, or entered prices to the developer.
The exchange-rate provider may receive standard technical information associated with network requests, such as IP address and request metadata, according to its own practices. Exchange-rate conversion is provided for reference only. Rates may be delayed, cached, or unavailable, and GarlicBird does not provide financial advice.
Siri and Shortcuts
GarlicBird supports structured unit-price calculations through Siri and Shortcuts. These app intent requests are handled through iOS and the app's local calculation logic. GarlicBird does not collect or sell Siri or Shortcuts usage data.
Support requests
If you contact support by email, the information you choose to send, such as your email address, device details, screenshots, and message contents, will be used only to respond to your request and improve support quality.
Children's privacy
GarlicBird is not directed to children, and the app does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
