For a quick answer it helps to include your device (iPhone or iPad), the iOS version and the Zettel version, and what exactly happens.

What is Zettel?

Zettel is a shopping list app for iPhone and iPad (bundle me.gtools.zettel). You keep shopping lists and store profiles with an aisle order, so you can walk through the store in the order of its aisles. Lists are stored on the G-Tools server and synced across your devices; an internet connection is required.

Do I need an account?

Yes. Zettel requires a free G-Tools account (sign-in on first launch). You can sign out or delete your account in the app under Settings > Account.

Where is my data and store profiles?

Your data is stored locally on the device. Store profiles and their aisle order exist only locally and are never shared. There is no sync.

How does sharing work?

You can share lists with other G-Tools users. Shared lists are synced through the G-Tools server; an internet connection is required.

Shares expire automatically: by default after 1 hour (3600 s), at most after 24 hours (86400 s). Older plaintext shares may still exist.

Camera, microphone and photo import?

With the camera you can photograph a shopping list or read a share QR code; the photos are not stored and not sent. Dictation via the microphone and photo import work on the device. Speech recognition runs on the device when possible, otherwise through Apple.

How do I delete my data?

Your data is stored locally on the device. To remove everything, delete the app. Shared snapshots are deleted automatically at the latest after the expiry time (at most 24 hours).

Zettel contains no ads, no tracking and no in-app purchases. Details: privacy policy (German, with an English summary), legal notice.
