Information you enter

GOBBLE stores the information you choose to enter, such as your dinner date and time, tasks and completion status, household names, adult and child counts, invitation and RSVP status, dietary preferences or allergy notes, potluck contributions, turkey details, and appearance and sound preferences.

This information is used on your device to display your plan, calculate countdowns and food estimates, organize tasks, and support backup and restore. Adult and child counts are planning totals; the app does not require children's names or dates of birth. Enter only guest information you have permission to use, and avoid unnecessary sensitive details.

Where your plan is stored

Your plan is stored in the app's local storage on your device. The current app has no GOBBLE sign-in, developer-operated plan database, or automatic cloud synchronization. GOBBLE does not automatically send your guest list, dietary notes, or plan to the developer.

The app keeps some previous or recoverable plan records locally to help protect against accidental changes or damaged data. The Android app is configured to exclude its internal data from standard Android cloud backup and device transfer. Your phone, operating system, or storage provider may have separate features and policies, especially for files you export.

Widgets and visible information

Home Screen widgets use a limited local snapshot containing the dinner time, task totals and progress, appearance choices, and an update timestamp. Guest rosters and dietary fields are not copied into widget storage.

Next-task titles are hidden on widgets by default. If you enable them, anyone who can see your widget may read the displayed title, including personal information you put in it. You can turn this option off in Settings. Exported wallpapers may also display your next task; review the image before sharing it.

Backups, images, and sharing

When you save a recovery backup, GOBBLE creates a JSON file containing your plan, including guest information and dietary notes, and any recoverable original records included in that export. The backup is not encrypted by GOBBLE. Keep it somewhere private.

Restoring a backup reads the file you select and replaces the current plan after your confirmation. GOBBLE does not upload that file to the developer. It retains a local copy of the preceding plan for recovery purposes.

When you save or share an image, or choose a backup destination, the selected app or storage provider handles that file under its own policies. A location you choose may synchronize files to a cloud service. Temporary sharing files may remain in the app's cache until cleaned up or the app's data is cleared.

Advertising, purchases, and third parties

The current app includes no advertising SDK, third-party analytics SDK, or developer-operated tracking service. GOBBLE does not sell or rent your plan or guest information.

Google Play handles app purchases and downloads under Google's terms and privacy policies. GOBBLE does not collect payment-card details. Google may process store, installation, diagnostic, and usage information and make reports available to the developer through its platform. This is separate from GOBBLE's locally stored hosting plan.

External links, such as food-safety resources, open third-party sites governed by their own policies. The current app does not connect to your Gmail inbox, contacts, or calendar.

Retention and deletion

Your locally stored information remains until you change it, clear the app's storage, or uninstall the app, subject to your device's behavior. You can edit or delete individual households and tasks. The Start fresh option resets the active plan, but does not erase every historical or recovery record.

To remove the app's internal plan, preferences, widget snapshot, cache, and retained recovery records, use Android Settings to clear GOBBLE's app storage/data. Uninstalling normally also removes internal app data. These actions do not delete exported backups, saved images, cloud copies you created, or files already shared with others; delete those separately in the relevant apps or storage services.

If you contact us, we receive the information you send, such as your email address, message, screenshots, or attachments. We use it to respond and troubleshoot, and retain it only as needed for support and any applicable legal obligations. Avoid sending guest dietary notes or a full recovery backup unless necessary. You can contact us to request deletion of support correspondence, subject to legal retention requirements. We cannot remotely view or delete the plan stored on your phone.

Security and children

GOBBLE relies on your device's app storage and operating-system protections. It does not add separate encryption to your plan or exported backups. Use a device lock and protect files you export. No method of storage or transfer is completely secure.

GOBBLE is intended for adult event hosts and is not directed to children under 13. It does not provide accounts for children. If you believe a child has sent personal information directly to us through support, contact us so we can address it.

Policy changes and contact

We may update this policy when the app or its data practices change. The revised policy will show a new update date. Material changes involving new data collection or sharing will be explained through appropriate notices and consent where required.
