Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 26, 2026
LokApp ("we", "our", "the app") is an AI-powered inventory management application. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
Data We Collect
- Email address — collected for account authentication via Supabase Auth. Required to create and sign in to your account.
- Item metadata — names, categories, tags, brand, model, material, descriptions, and purchase prices you enter for your inventory items. Stored in our Supabase Postgres database.
- Photos — item photos you take or select are stored in a secure, encrypted storage bucket. Each photo is accessible only by the user who uploaded it, enforced by row-level security policies. Photos are encrypted at rest and in transit.
- Container and location data — names and hierarchy of containers and locations you create to organize your items.
Data We Do NOT Collect
- Financial data (beyond optional purchase prices you choose to enter)
- Contacts or address book data
- Health or fitness data
- Precise device location (GPS)
- Device identifiers or advertising IDs
- Browsing history
Third-Party Services
- Supabase — provides our database and authentication infrastructure. Your email and item metadata are stored on Supabase servers. Supabase Privacy Policy.
- OpenAI / Anthropic — when you use the AI analysis feature, your item photos are temporarily sent to an AI vision API for identification and description. Photos are processed in real-time and are not stored by the AI provider after analysis is complete. This feature is optional and only triggered when you explicitly request it.
How We Use Your Data
- To provide core app functionality: inventory tracking, organization, and search
- To authenticate your account and secure your data
- To enable AI-powered item identification (only when you request it)
- To improve AI item recognition using anonymous, EXIF-stripped thumbnails from confirmed identifications (you can opt out in Settings)
We do not sell, share, or transfer your personal data to third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.
AI Model Improvement
To improve the accuracy of item recognition, the app may collect anonymous training data when you confirm an AI-suggested item identification without changes. This data includes:
- A small, low-resolution thumbnail (260x260 pixels) of the item photo
- The confirmed item name, category, and tags
This data is used solely to improve the app's item recognition model. No personally identifiable information is included in the thumbnails — all EXIF metadata (location, device info, timestamps) is stripped before collection. Thumbnails are stored in a private, encrypted storage bucket and are not shared with third parties.
This feature is enabled by default. You can opt out at any time from the app's Profile screen by turning off "Help improve AI recognition" in AI Settings. Opting out immediately stops all future thumbnail collection.
Data Security
All data transmitted between the app and our servers is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS. Data at rest is stored in Supabase with Row Level Security (RLS) enabled, ensuring that each user can only access their own data. Photos are stored in a separate encrypted storage bucket with per-user access policies — only the account owner can view or download their photos.
Your Rights
- Account deletion — you can request deletion of your account and all associated data. When your account is deleted, all item metadata, container data, and photo references are permanently removed from our database.
- Data export — you can export your inventory data as a CSV file from within the app.
- Photo deletion — when you delete an item or your account, all associated photos are permanently removed from our encrypted storage.
Children's Privacy
LokApp is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes through the app or via email.
