Maidy — Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 20, 2026 · Maidy is operated by GlobalBit Soft LTD, Israel.
Maidy is a shared family shopping list you can talk to. This policy explains what data the app
handles and why. We keep it short because the app is simple.
What we collect
- Account. The app creates an anonymous account when you first open it. If you choose
"Continue with Google", we store your name and email address from Google Sign-In so your lists
survive a new phone.
- Your lists. List names, items, quantities, who added or bought an item, and which
family members share each list. Stored in Google Firebase (Firestore), region europe-west1.
- Voice. While a voice session is open, your speech is streamed to OpenAI's API to
understand your request (for example "add milk"). Audio is processed to fulfill the request;
OpenAI does not use API data to train its models. Transcripts of sessions are kept in
diagnostic logs linked to your account so we can fix mistakes the assistant makes.
- Location. If you use price comparison, the app asks for your location once to show
supermarkets within 10 km. Your location is used for that search and is not stored.
- Prices. Supermarket prices come from the public price-transparency files Israeli
chains are required to publish. Choosing your stores saves which branches your family compares.
What we do not do
- No advertising, no ad tracking, no sale of data.
- No contact list, camera, or photo access.
- No background listening — the microphone is active only during an open voice session,
shown clearly on screen.
Service providers
We use Google Firebase (authentication, database, hosting; Google Cloud, EU region) and the
OpenAI API (voice understanding). Both act as processors for the purposes above.
Sharing between family members
Lists are shared by invitation. Members of a shared list see its items and each other's first
names and edits. Leaving a list removes your access; the owner can delete a list for everyone.
Retention and deletion
Lists live until you delete them. Bought items are cleaned up automatically after 7 days.
Diagnostic logs are kept for a limited period for quality work. To delete your account and all
associated data, email us — we complete deletion within 30 days.
Children
Maidy is a household tool intended for adults; we do not knowingly collect data from children.
