Grocy is a voice-to-grocery-list Android app. This policy explains what data the app touches, where it goes, and — just as important — what the app's developer never sees, because Grocy has no backend server of its own. Everything described below happens either entirely on your device, or directly between your device and services you connect yourself.
When you speak a list, Grocy uses your Android device's built-in speech recognition (the same system service other apps use) to turn your voice into text, entirely on your phone. Grocy does not record, store, or transmit raw audio anywhere.
To turn a spoken transcript into a structured list — and, if you choose to, to categorize items and estimate prices — Grocy sends the transcript text and list items to OpenRouter, an AI model routing service. This happens using your own OpenRouter account, connected once from the app's Settings screen. Grocy's developer has no access to this traffic and operates no server that it passes through — it goes directly from your device to OpenRouter using your credentials.
OpenRouter's own handling of this data is governed by OpenRouter's privacy policy, not this one.
None of this is uploaded to, or visible to, Grocy's developer, because there is nothing on the other end to receive it.
Grocy is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from children.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this same address with a revised date above.
