Kitoodle
Privacy & Data Policy
Last updated: 8 July 2026
Kitoodle is built to know as little about you as possible. There are no accounts, no passwords, no email addresses, no advertising, and no tracking or analytics of any kind.
What we store
- The name you enter (usually a first name) — shown next to items you add or tick off on lists you share.
- The contents of your lists — item names, quantities, notes, prices and saved meals.
- Photos you attach to items — compressed copies only; the original stays on your phone.
That's all. We never ask for, or store, your email address, phone number, location, contacts or payment details.
Where it's stored
List data and photos are stored with our hosting provider, Netlify (Netlify's privacy policy), and may be processed on servers inside and outside the UK/EEA under Netlify's standard data-protection terms. Your chosen colour theme and which lists you've joined are stored only on your own device. The name you enter is saved on your device too, but — as noted above — it's also stored on our servers so it can appear next to items, and in the activity, of lists you share.
AI item scanning (optional)
If you use the optional "scan" feature to identify an item from a photo, that photo is sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, purely to work out what the item is. It isn't used to identify you, it isn't used to train their models, and we don't keep it beyond returning the result to you. If you'd rather not involve a third party, simply don't use scanning — you can always type an item in or add a photo without scanning.
Who can see your lists
Each list is protected by its unique code. Anyone who has the code can view and edit that list, including any photos on it — so only share codes with people you trust, and please don't put passwords, financial details or other sensitive information on a list.
How long we keep it
- Items you delete are fully removed from our servers within 7 days (kept briefly so "undo" works across phones); any attached photo is deleted with them.
- Photos you remove are deleted immediately.
- Lists that nobody has touched for 12 months are automatically and permanently deleted, including all photos.
Your choices
- You can delete any item, photo or whole list from within the app at any time.
- "Remove list from this phone" clears it from your device; the list itself remains available to others who have its code until it expires or is emptied.
- To request deletion of specific data, or for any other privacy question, contact us at kitoodle@claritytaxation.com.
Cookies & tracking
Kitoodle sets no cookies and uses no analytics, advertising or fingerprinting. The app uses your browser's local storage solely to remember your name, theme and lists on your own device.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date above will be updated. Material changes will be highlighted in the app.
