Shop Stride Privacy Policy

Shop Stride by Weltzcraft Studios · Last updated November 11, 2026

Shop Stride turns your grocery list into the shortest walk through the store. It has no advertising. An account is optional: you only need one to keep your recipes on every phone or to share recipes with other shoppers.

What stays on your phone

• Your grocery lists and store choices are stored on your device and never uploaded.
• Recipes are stored on your device. If you sign in, they are also saved to your account so they come back on another phone (recipe photos stay on the phone they were taken on).
• Recipe photos are read on your phone with Apple's built-in text recognition. The photo is not uploaded.
• Your location is used, only while the app is open and only if you allow it, to show supported grocery stores near you. We don't store your location.

What is sent to our server

• When you look up items, the item names and the store you picked are sent to our server to find aisle locations, including from the store's public product data.
• If you tell Shop Stride which aisle an item is in, that answer is saved with a random ID made by the app (not your name, email or Apple ID) so other shoppers at that store get better routes.
• If you add a recipe by link, your phone opens that web page directly to read the ingredients.

If you sign in

• You can sign in with Apple, Google or your email address (we email you a one-time code). We keep your email address and an account ID to run your account. With Sign in with Apple you can choose to hide your email.
• Recipes you save are stored with your account.
• If you share a recipe with the community, its title, category, ingredients and the name you choose to show are public to everyone who uses Shop Stride. Your email is never shown.
• If you report a shared recipe, the report and your account ID are kept so we can review it.
• You can delete your account in the app (Recipes, then the person icon, then Delete account). That deletes your account, your saved recipes and every recipe you shared.

Community rules

Shared recipes must be real recipes with no offensive, hateful, sexual or spammy content and no personal information. We filter offensive words, hide recipes several people report, review reports every day and remove content and accounts that break these rules. You can report any shared recipe and block its author from the recipe's menu.

Store maps come from OpenStreetMap. We don't sell your information or use it for advertising.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date above.
