Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-03-05

Introduction

Millo ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our iOS and watchOS mobile application (the "App"). Millo is an independent app developed by Berardino Chiarello.

Website: cookies and storage

This website uses no cookies and no browser storage. It is a set of static pages with English at the root and Italian under /it/; choosing a language simply opens the matching page. Nothing is saved on your device, and nothing is used for analytics, advertising, or profiling.

Information we collect

Millo is designed with privacy in mind. We do not collect any personal information. Optionally, with your explicit consent, we collect anonymous usage and crash data to improve the app.

Data stored locally on your device

  • Recipes: names, ingredients, preparation steps, cooking times, servings, and tags.
  • Meal plans: your planned meals and associated dates.
  • Shopping lists: your generated lists and purchase status.
  • Preferences: app settings, category sorting preferences, and tutorial completion status.
  • Pro membership status: information about your feature access level.
  • Fidelity cards: card names, numbers, barcode data, barcode format, and display colour.
  • Analytics consent: your choice about sharing anonymous usage data.

Anonymous analytics data (optional, consent-based)

Only if you explicitly accept when prompted, the App collects anonymous usage events such as feature interactions (e.g. recipe created, meal added, shopping list generated), screens visited, and settings changes. This data contains no personal information, no recipe content, and no identifiable data. You can change your preference at any time in the app's Settings.

iCloud sync

If you choose to enable iCloud sync, your data (recipes, meal plans, and shopping lists) is synchronised across your devices using Apple's iCloud service. This data is encrypted by Apple, stored in your personal iCloud account, never accessible to us, and subject to Apple's Privacy Policy. You can disable iCloud sync at any time through your device settings.

Apple Watch integration

If you use the Apple Watch companion app, your shopping list data is synchronised between your iPhone and Apple Watch using the WatchConnectivity framework. This transfer occurs only between your paired devices, is handled by Apple's secure communication protocols, and is not transmitted to any external servers.

Fidelity cards

The App includes a fidelity card manager. All card data (name, number, barcode, and display colour) is stored exclusively on your device and, if you have iCloud enabled, in your personal iCloud account.

  • Card data is never transmitted to our servers.
  • To scan a barcode, the App requests camera access, used solely in the moment of scanning; no images are stored or transmitted.
  • You can share a card using the standard iOS sharing mechanism; we do not receive or access any shared data.

Siri Shortcuts & App Intents

The App integrates with Apple's App Intents framework to offer Siri Shortcuts: open a specific loyalty card, or add an ingredient (with optional quantity and unit) to your shopping list. Voice interactions are processed entirely by Apple's Siri infrastructure and are subject to Apple's Privacy Policy. The App only receives the final structured parameters; no audio or voice data is ever accessible to us.

Data sharing and export

The App lets you export and share recipes using our custom .millo file format. You have complete control over what is shared and with whom, data is only shared through the standard iOS sharing mechanism, and we do not receive or access any shared data.

Third-party services

Millo does not use any advertising or tracking services. With your consent, the App integrates with the following Firebase services provided by Google:

  • Firebase Analytics — collects anonymous usage statistics when you opt in. Data is processed by Google LLC and subject to Google's Privacy Policy. Collection is fully disabled if you decline or withdraw consent.
  • Firebase Crashlytics — automatically collects crash reports when the app hits an unexpected error. Reports contain technical device information (OS version, app version, stack trace) but no personal data or app content. Disabled if you decline or withdraw consent.

Both services are enabled only after you explicitly accept the in-app consent prompt. You can opt out at any time via Settings → Analytics & Crash Reports.

Data security

  • All data is stored locally on your device using Apple's secure storage mechanisms.
  • We use the SwiftData framework for local data persistence.
  • iCloud data is encrypted by Apple.
  • We do not have access to your data.

Children's privacy

Millo does not knowingly collect any information from children. The App is suitable for all ages as it stores all data locally and does not collect personal information.

Your rights

Since all your data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control:

  • Access: all your data is accessible within the App.
  • Modification: you can edit or delete any data at any time.
  • Deletion: deleting the App removes all locally stored data. To delete iCloud data, remove it through your iCloud settings.
  • Export: you can export your recipes using the share functionality.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. Continued use of the App after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
