The whole of it

Nothing leaves the phone

Cellarium is a ledger that runs on your device. No account, no cloud, no advertising, no analytics and no network connection. Your items, dates, locations, shopping list and waste statistics are written to the app's own storage and stay there.

Who is responsible

Controller

SECURE INVESTMENT SOLUTIONS LTD, trading as VelvetOak Digital, registered office c/o Isaacs, St James Business Park, Trust House, 5 New Augustus Street, Bradford BD1 5LL, United Kingdom; director Haseeb Aslam. For any personal data this page describes, that company is the controller under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Email larder@secureinvestment.rest.

What the ledger holds

On device, until you clear it
  • items with their quantities, units, locations and best-before dates;
  • your shopping list, and what you ticked off;
  • the history of each item: used one, used up, binned, restocked;
  • your settings: expiring-soon window, date format, units, backdrop.

A full larder is a surprisingly personal document — it can suggest a household's size, its diet and its budget — which is why none of it is uploaded. There is no server behind Cellarium to receive it and we cannot read it. The one copy that may sit elsewhere is your own Android backup at Google, if that is enabled on your phone.

What the app asks of the phone

No permissions

None at all. No camera, because there is no barcode scanning; no location; no contacts; no files; no notifications. Nothing is fetched, so nothing needs a connection.

What we collect about you

None of it

No sign-in, no email address, no advertising identifier, no analytics events, no profiling. We have no idea how many items you keep or how much you waste; that page exists for you, not for us.

Google Play's share

Anonymous crash reports

The app is distributed by Google Play under Google's own privacy policy. Where a device is set to send usage and diagnostics to Google, aggregate crash and performance figures may appear on our Play Console. They identify no one, and we look at them to find out what broke.

Dates, and food safety

Read this one

Cellarium stores the dates you type and colours a ring as they approach. It does not know whether anything is safe to eat, and a green ring is not a verdict.

In the UK a use by date is about safety and a best before date is about quality. Food can be unsafe on or after its use-by date while looking and smelling perfectly normal, so never eat past a use-by date, never taste something to test it, keep the fridge at 5 °C or below, follow the storage and "once opened" instructions on the pack, and throw out anything you are unsure of. For what actually matters in a kitchen, the Food Standards Agency is the authority, not an app. If someone becomes seriously ill after eating, call 111 for advice, or 999 in an emergency.

Children

Nothing collected

Children can use the app freely; it gathers nothing from anyone, and holds no chat, no links out and nothing to buy. Cooking and food safety, of course, stay an adult's job.

Email you send us

Kept up to 12 months

Writing to us gives us your address and your message. We use them to answer and to fix the app, resting on our legitimate interest in replying to correspondence, and we delete the thread within a year of the last reply unless the law says otherwise.

Your rights, and the regulator

Answered within a month

Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability all apply, though correspondence is the only thing we could produce. Ask us and we reply inside a month. If that leaves you unhappy, the Information Commissioner's Office takes complaints: ico.org.uk, or 0303 123 1113.

Emptying the shelves, and updates here

Clearing is permanent

To erase everything at once, open Cellarium in Android's app settings, go to its storage and clear the data; uninstalling does the same. Both take the whole ledger, its history and your statistics with them, with no copy anywhere to restore from, so be sure before you tap. This page is revised, with a new date on the plate above, before any release that changes how the app handles data.
