Privacy Policy
Effective date: February 21, 2026
So Smart Apps LLC ("we", "our", "us") respects the privacy of users and visitors
to our website and software products ("Services"). This Privacy Policy outlines the types of
information we may collect, how we use it, and the controls users have over it.
Information We Collect
Personal information you provide:
- Email addresses when you contact us via email or forms.
- Account information when you create an account within our apps (name, email, organization).
- Phone numbers when you opt in to receive SMS alerts from our Services.
- Any information you choose to provide when interacting with support or feedback channels.
Information collected through our mobile applications:
- Location data: Our apps may collect precise location data to provide location-based services such as mapping, navigation, and nearby store features. Location data is collected only while the app is in use or, with your permission, in the background.
- Camera: Our apps may access your device camera to capture photos for barcode scanning, expiration date recognition, product identification, and documentation purposes. Camera data is only accessed when you actively use camera features within the app.
- Pantry and grocery data: MyPantry collects information you enter about household inventory items, including product names, quantities, purchase dates, expiration dates, and prices. This data is stored in your account and used solely to provide the app's pantry management features.
- Grocery account data: If you connect a Kroger account, we receive an OAuth access token from Kroger to read your profile and add items to your Kroger cart on your behalf. We do not store your Kroger username or password. You may disconnect your Kroger account at any time from within the app.
- Device information: We may collect device identifiers, operating system version, and app version for crash reporting and performance monitoring.
How We Use Your Information
- To provide core app functionality including location services, mapping, and coordination features.
- To respond to inquiries and provide support.
- To improve our Services and fix bugs via crash reporting.
- To authenticate users and manage accounts.
- To send SMS alerts and notifications related to your devices and services when you have opted in.
SMS/Text Messaging
Certain Services, including VoltSentry, may send SMS text messages to phone numbers you provide.
By providing your phone number and enabling SMS alerts within our applications, you consent to
receive automated text messages related to your account and devices, including battery status
alerts, device notifications, and service updates.
- Message frequency: Varies based on device activity. Alert messages are sent only when
battery voltage thresholds are crossed or device events occur (typically fewer than 10 messages per month).
- Message and data rates may apply. Check with your carrier for details.
- Opt out: You can stop receiving SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message,
disabling SMS alerts in the app settings, or contacting us at
contact@sosmartapps.app.
- Help: Reply HELP to any message for assistance, or contact us at
contact@sosmartapps.app.
- We do not sell, rent, or share your phone number with third parties for marketing purposes.
- Phone numbers collected for SMS alerts are used solely for delivering service-related notifications.
Data Storage & Third-Party Services
Our apps use Google Firebase for authentication, data storage, and crash reporting.
Firebase processes data in accordance with Google's privacy policies. Data is stored
securely using industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest.
MyPantry integrates with the Kroger API to allow users to sync their shopping lists with
their Kroger account. When you connect your Kroger account, authentication is handled
via Kroger's OAuth 2.0 system. We receive only the access and refresh tokens needed to
interact with Kroger on your behalf. Kroger's use of your data is governed by
Kroger's privacy policy.
SMS messages are delivered through Twilio, a third-party communications platform.
Twilio processes phone numbers and message content solely for the purpose of delivering
messages on our behalf, subject to Twilio's privacy policy.
Analytics & Cookies
We may use third-party analytics providers to understand site and app performance. These services may
set cookies and collect anonymous usage data. You may control cookies through your browser settings.
Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers
who help operate the site or Services under contractual data protections.
Security
We employ reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal data,
but no system is 100% secure.
Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time
by contacting us at contact@sosmartapps.app.
You may also revoke app permissions (location, camera) through your device settings at any time.
Children's Privacy
Our Services are intended for general audiences and designed for adult users.
They are not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect
personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information,
please contact us so we can promptly delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time, and the updated version will be posted here.
