Privacy

Your privacy, plainly explained.

Cartana is built on the belief that shoppers should never have to trade privacy for savings.

✅

We never sell your data

Your grocery list and shopping habits are never sold to advertisers, retailers, or data brokers.

🔒

Your list is yours

Your saved items and cart history stay private. We don't share it with stores or third parties.

📍

Location is optional

We use your location only to find nearby stores. You can enter a zip code instead.

What we collect

  • Search queries — to return relevant product results. Not linked to your identity unless you are signed in.
  • Cart contents — if you save a cart, it is stored in your account and used only to provide the service.
  • Location or zip code — to find stores near you. We do not store precise location history.
  • Account info — if you create an account, we store your email and preferences.
  • Usage analytics — aggregate, anonymized data on which features are used. No individual profiles.

What we never do

  • We do not sell, license, or share your personal data with advertisers or data brokers.
  • We do not share your grocery list with stores, even stores you shop at.
  • We do not build behavioral advertising profiles.
  • We do not use dark patterns to extract more data than necessary.

Cookies

We use minimal cookies for session management and basic analytics. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

Data retention

You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from your account settings. We retain anonymized, aggregate analytics data to improve the product.
