Budget Basket is designed to help users potentially save money, but savings are not guaranteed. Grocery prices, promotions, taxes, stock availability, store participation, travel costs, and checkout totals may change. Users should verify final prices before purchase.

Trip optimization and store comparison features may use location-related information to estimate distance, routes, fuel cost, travel time, or nearby store context. Where possible, Budget Basket aims to use only the information needed to provide the requested shopping feature.

If users submit receipts, price corrections, or product information, Budget Basket may use those submissions to improve price data, product matching, store listings, and future savings recommendations. Users should avoid submitting sensitive personal information that is not needed for grocery savings features.

Budget Basket may use advertising, rewarded ads, basic analytics, or similar tools depending on the version of the app and user access level. These tools may process device or usage information to provide ads, measure performance, prevent fraud, or improve the service.

Budget Basket does not need to sell personal grocery lists to provide the core service. Information may be shared only where needed to operate the platform, comply with law, protect the service, process support requests, provide infrastructure, or work with service providers under appropriate limits.

• With hosting, database, authentication, analytics, mapping, advertising, payment, or support providers where needed.
• With administrators or authorized personnel who need access to operate, secure, or improve the platform.
• Where required by law, legal process, safety, fraud prevention, or platform protection.
• In aggregated or de-identified form for reporting, research, pricing insights, or business analysis.

Budget Basket aims to use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect user information. No online service can guarantee perfect security, but we work to limit access, reduce unnecessary exposure, and improve security as the product develops.

Information may be kept for as long as needed to provide Budget Basket, maintain records, improve product matching, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, prevent misuse, and support app operations. Some technical logs may be kept for shorter periods.

• You may choose not to submit optional receipt, correction, or location-related information.
• You may update or delete certain saved baskets, lists, watchlists, or budget information where the app provides those controls.
• You may contact support through Instagram for privacy questions or account-related requests while Instagram remains the support channel.
• You may control some browser, notification, location, and cookie permissions through your device or browser settings.

Budget Basket is not intended for children who are too young to consent to digital services in their jurisdiction. If we learn that information has been collected from a child without appropriate consent, we may delete it.

Budget Basket may update this Privacy Policy as the product, features, laws, or support channels change. The latest version will be posted on this page.
