LeAana is one shopping list your family shares. Privacy is part of how it's built, not a setting you turn on. This page explains, plainly, what we do and don't do with your information.
The short version
Just a name. No email, phone number, or password is required to use the app.
Photos stay on your device. Scanning a list runs on your phone; we don't upload or store your photos.
Your household is isolated. One family's data is never visible to another — enforced in our database.
Scoped, revocable sharing. A helper link shows only the items you send, and you can turn it off anytime.
No ads, and we never sell your data. There are no advertising SDKs. We use one privacy-first analytics tool to see which features are used — anonymous only, no names, list items, or amounts — and you can switch it off in Settings.
Who we are
LeAana is provided by bircube. In this policy, "we", "us", and "the app" refer to LeAana. If you have any questions, contact us at the address at the bottom of this page.
Information we collect
What you create in the app. To provide the shared list, we store the content you and your household add, including:
your display name (the name you choose when you join);
list items and the details you attach — names in your own words, quantities, brands, stores, notes, priorities, and status;
shopping trips and any spend totals or prices you record;
medicines you choose to track and the household member or dependent they are for, along with the stock and dose you enter to estimate when they run low;
your household and who is a member of it.
What we do not require. You can create a home and use the app with only a display name — no email, phone number, or password. If you later choose to secure your account by linking a Google, phone, or email sign-in, we store that identifier so you can sign back in; this is entirely optional.
Photos. When you scan a written or printed list, the text recognition runs entirely on your device. When you send a photo of a medicine strip to your family, that is shared by you directly through your own messaging app (e.g. WhatsApp). The app does not upload or store your photos.
Anonymous usage analytics. To understand which features are used and where the app can be better, we collect anonymous, aggregated usage events — for example, that a list was shared or a reminder was set. These are tied to a random identifier for your app installation, not to your identity, and never include your name, the text of your list items, medicine details, phone numbers, or spend amounts. Details are in “Anonymous usage analytics” below. The app contains no advertising SDKs, we do not track you for advertising, and we do not sell your data.
How we use your information
to provide the shared list and keep it in sync for everyone in your household in real time;
to estimate when a tracked medicine will run low and to remind you to reorder it;
to suggest your usual quantities and last-paid prices as helpful defaults (always as a suggestion you confirm, never a silent change);
to operate, maintain, and improve the app's core features.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.
Anonymous usage analytics
To see which features people use and where LeAana can improve, we collect a small set of anonymous usage events through PostHog, a product-analytics service. This is built for data minimization:
Events are tied to a random identifier for your app installation — not to your name or account. We never send your display name, phone number, the text of your list items, your medicine details, or any amounts you record.
What we collect is limited to anonymous signals — for example, that an item was added, a list was shared, a reminder was set, or the app was opened — together with your app version and basic device and operating-system type.
We turn off IP-based location lookup, so your location is not recorded.
We do not use this data for advertising, and we do not sell it or combine it with data from other companies to track you across apps or websites.
You can turn it off. Open Account → Privacy in the app and switch off “Share anonymous usage data.” When it is off, no usage events are sent.
How your information is shared
With your household. The people you invite to your home can see and edit the shared list. That's the point of the app.
Through helper links. When you send a scoped web link to an outside buyer, that link exposes only the specific items you chose to share — nothing else about your household — and you can revoke it at any time.
With service providers. We host our database and backend with Supabase, which stores data on our behalf on servers in Singapore. They process data only to provide hosting to us.
For anonymous analytics. We use PostHog to process the anonymous usage events described above, on servers in the United States. It receives no data that identifies you. See “Anonymous usage analytics.”
For legal reasons. We may disclose information if required to do so by law.
How your information is protected
Data is encrypted in transit using standard HTTPS/TLS. In our database, row-level security isolates each household so that one family's data is never accessible to another. Access to the backend is restricted.
Health information
LeAana's medicine feature records and reminds only. It does not provide medical advice, dosing recommendations, diagnoses, or any pharmacy or health-provider integration.
The medicine details you enter — and the names of people you track medicines for — are stored only to power the run-out estimate and reminders, and are visible only within your household, under the same protections as the rest of your data.
Keeping and deleting your data
You can edit or remove items, medicines, and trips in the app at any time. If you would like your account and household data deleted, contact us using the email below and we will remove it.
Children
LeAana is intended for household and family coordination managed by adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Any details a parent chooses to record about a family member (for example, a medicine for a child) are used only to provide the reminders described above.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above, and we will note any material changes.
