Introduction

Deuxbits ("we", "our", or "us") operates the Kitili mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use Kitili.

Kitili is built on a privacy-first philosophy. We do not operate proprietary cloud servers to store your personal data. Your shopping lists and fuel logs are stored in your own Google Drive account, giving you complete ownership and control.

By using Kitili, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

1. Data You Create

Shopping lists, items, and check-off status

Fuel log entries including fill-up amounts, mileage, costs, and optional location data

This data is stored locally on your device and synchronized to YOUR Google Drive account. We do not have access to this data.

2. Google Account Information

When you sign in with Google to enable Drive sync, we receive:

  • Your email address
  • Your name
  • Your profile picture
  • Access to an app-specific folder in your Google Drive

3. Optional Location Data

If you grant permission, Kitili can capture your location when logging fuel purchases. This helps you remember where you filled up.

Location permission is entirely optional and can be denied without affecting the app's core functionality.

Location data is stored only in your Google Drive and is never sent to our servers.

4. Camera Access

If you grant permission, Kitili can use your camera to scan product barcodes for shopping lists.

No photos or camera data are stored or transmitted. The camera is used only for real-time barcode scanning.

Camera permission is optional and can be denied.

5. Analytics and Crash Reports

We use Sentry to collect anonymous crash reports and error logs to improve app stability.

This includes device information (model, OS version), crash logs, and anonymized usage patterns.

No personally identifiable information is collected through Sentry.

You can learn more about Sentry's privacy practices at https://sentry.io/privacy/

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

  • To provide core app functionality (shopping lists and fuel tracking)
  • To sync your data to your personal Google Drive account
  • To identify and fix bugs and crashes through Sentry analytics
  • To improve app performance and user experience
  • To authenticate your Google account for Drive access

Data Storage and Ownership

Your Data Lives in YOUR Google Drive: All shopping lists and fuel logs are stored in an app-specific folder within your Google Drive. We do not operate our own servers to store this data.

Local Storage: Data is also stored locally on your device for offline access. This local data syncs with your Google Drive when you're online.

We Cannot Access Your Data: Because your data lives in your Google Drive, we have no access to your shopping lists, fuel logs, or any other personal information you create in the app.

Data Retention: Your data remains in your Google Drive indefinitely unless you delete it. If you uninstall Kitili, your data remains in your Drive and can be accessed again if you reinstall the app.

Your Rights and Control

You have full control over your data:

  • Delete: You can delete your data at any time by removing it from the app or from your Google Drive.
  • Export: You can export your data from Google Drive in standard formats.
  • Revoke Access: You can revoke Kitili's access to your Google Drive at any time through your Google Account settings (https://myaccount.google.com/permissions).
  • Uninstall: Uninstalling the app removes local data from your device. Data in your Google Drive remains accessible.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information. However, since your data is stored in your Google Drive, Google's security measures apply.

All communication between the app and Google Drive is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols.

We do not transmit your shopping lists or fuel logs to any servers other than your Google Drive.

Children's Privacy

Kitili is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy in the app and updating the "Last Updated" date.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
