1. Introduction
Welcome to Your Food: No Waste Inventory (the “App”), operated by Harderue – Games & Apps (“I”, “me”, or “my”). I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting your personal data.
This Privacy Policy explains:

3. Data I Collect and Why
3.1 Account and Inventory Data
Data | Purpose | Legal Basis (GDPR) |
Email address | Account creation, inventory sync via Firebase, account recovery, inventory sharing | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
Inventory data | Storing and syncing your food inventory in the cloud | Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
You only provide your email address if you choose to save your inventory to the cloud via Firebase. You can use the App without creating an account; in that case, no email address is collected.
3.2 Marketing and Communications
If you opt in to receive marketing emails, I will use your email address to send you:
- product updates and new features,
- tips for reducing food waste,
- occasional promotional content related to Harderue – Games & Apps.
Data | Purpose | Legal Basis (GDPR) |
Email address | Sending marketing communications | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) |
You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link in any marketing email, or by contacting me directly. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew consent.
I will never share your email address with third-party marketers.
3.3 Device and Technical Data
When you use the App, Unity (the platform on which the App is built) may automatically collect certain technical information, including:
- device type and model,
- operating system and version,
- IP address,
- crash logs and performance data.
This data is collected to ensure the App functions correctly on your device. I do not directly control this collection; it is governed by Unity’s privacy practices (see Section 6).
Data | Purpose | Legal Basis (GDPR) |
Device and technical data | App performance, crash diagnosis, compatibility | Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
3.4 Website Data
My website (yourfood.app, harderue.com) is built with WordPress and may use plugins that collect anonymised analytical data about your visit (e.g. pages viewed, time on site). This data is used solely to improve the website and is not linked to your identity.
4. Third-Party Services
I rely on the following third-party services to operate the App and website. Each has its own privacy policy which I encourage you to review.
Service | Purpose
| Privacy Policy |
Firebase (Google) | User authentication and cloud data storage | |
Unity Technologies | App development platform; collects device/performance data | |
Google Play | App distribution and in-app purchases | |
Apple App Store | App distribution and in-app purchases | |
WordPress & Plugins | Website hosting and functionality | Varies by plugin |
In-app purchases are handled exclusively by Google Play or the Apple App Store. I do not collect, process, or store any payment or financial information.
5. Data Retention

Email address and inventory data | For as long as your account is active, or until you request deletion |
Marketing email consent and address | Until you unsubscribe or request deletion |
Technical/device data (Unity) | As defined by Unity’s data retention policies |
Website analytics | Typically anonymised and retained for up to 12 months |
When your data is no longer needed, it will be securely deleted or anonymised.
6. International Data Transfers
Firebase (Google) and Unity may transfer and process your data outside your country of residence, including outside the EEA. Where such transfers occur, they are subject to appropriate safeguards, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), to ensure your data receives an equivalent level of protection. For more details, refer to the privacy policies of the relevant third parties listed in Section 4.
7. Your Rights Under GDPR (EEA and UK Users)
f you are located in the EEA or the United Kingdom, you have the following rights under the GDPR and/or UK GDPR:
- Right of access — You can request a copy of the personal data I hold about you.
- Right to rectification — You can ask me to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) — You can request that I delete your personal data, subject to certain conditions.
- Right to restrict processing — You can ask me to limit the way I use your data.
- Right to data portability — You can request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Right to object — You can object to processing based on legitimate interests, or to direct marketing at any time.
- Right to withdraw consent — Where processing is based on consent (e.g. marketing emails), you can withdraw it at any time without affecting prior processing.
- Right to lodge a complaint — You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority. In the EU, this is the authority in your country of residence. In the UK, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact me using the details in Section 2. I will respond within 30 days.
8. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain EEA countries where a higher age threshold applies). I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If I become aware that I have inadvertently collected data from a child below the applicable age threshold, I will delete it promptly.
If you believe a child has provided me with personal data, please contact me immediately.
9. Data Security
I take the security of your personal data seriously. Measures in place include:
- Cloud data is stored via Firebase, which uses industry-standard encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest.
- I do not store passwords or payment information.
- Access to stored data is restricted to what is necessary to operate the App.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While I strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, I cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Additional Rights for US Residents
If you are a resident of California, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment (CPRA), including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete it, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. I do not sell personal data.
Residents of other US states with applicable privacy laws (such as Virginia, Colorado, or Connecticut) may also have similar rights. To exercise any such rights, please contact me using the details in Section 2.
11. Cookies and Tracking
The App itself does not use cookies. My website (yourfood.app, harderue.com) may use cookies or similar tracking technologies through WordPress plugins for functional and analytical purposes. Where required by law, I will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements or how I operate the App. When I make material changes, I will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. I encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Continued use of the App or website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
