scrapz.
Scrapz is a peer-to-peer app for sharing food you won't finish with people nearby. This policy explains what information we collect to make that work, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and the choices you have — including deleting everything, right from the app.
We collect only what a listing, a claim, and a chat actually need:
We do not collect contacts, payment details (Scrapz doesn't process payments), or any device data beyond what's needed to run the app.
When you're browsing the feed, every listing's location is rounded to roughly a half-mile grid before it ever reaches your device — including your own listings, as seen by everyone else. The exact coordinates you posted from are visible only to two people: you, the poster, and whoever's claim on that listing has been confirmed. That's the moment real-world pickup starts to matter, so that's when exact location becomes visible to the other party.
Notifications are off by default — nothing gets requested or sent until you turn them on yourself, in Profile → Notifications. Once on, you choose individually which of these you want: someone claims your scrap, your claim gets confirmed, your claim gets declined, a new chat message, or a new scrap posted near you. Any of them can be switched off independently at any time, and turning the master toggle off stops all of them.
The "new scrap nearby" type works differently from the other four, and is the one type that involves storing something new: to know when a fresh listing is close enough to alert you about, we keep an approximate location for your device — rounded to the same roughly half-mile precision described in §2, never your exact position — along with the radius you've chosen. That location is refreshed periodically while the setting stays on, and stops being used the moment you turn that notification type off. Deleting your account removes it immediately, same as everything else described in §5.
We don't use your information for advertising, and we don't sell it.
Scrapz is built on Supabase, a third-party backend provider that hosts our database, sign-in system, and photo storage. Supabase processes your information on our behalf and doesn't use it for its own purposes. Push notifications are relayed through Expo's push notification service, which only ever receives your device's push token and the notification's title/body/type — never your email, your messages, or your location. Beyond these two processors, we don't share or sell your information to any other third party — no advertisers, no data brokers.
We keep your information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account from the app's Profile tab, your posted listings, your claim history, your messages, and your notification data (device token, preferences, stored location) are permanently deleted immediately, along with your account itself — not just marked hidden. A record that you filed or were named in a content report may be retained afterward, so that pattern of misuse can still be reviewed.
Scrapz is meant for people 13 and older. We ask you to confirm this when you sign up. If we learn an account belongs to someone younger, we'll remove it.
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we'll update the effective date at the top of this page. Continuing to use Scrapz after a change means you accept the updated policy.
