Privacy Policy
Sonaeru Box
Last updated: July 8, 2026
Tomoshibi Seisakusho ("we", "us") sets forth the following privacy policy ("this Policy") regarding the handling of user information in the application "Sonaeru Box" ("the App").
1. Basic Policy
This App is a tool for managing household stockpiles and consumables. The App does not require login or account registration, and information you enter is, in principle, stored only on your device. We do not collect or store on any server any information that could identify you personally.
2. Information We Collect
Information related to the App's main features (registering item names, categories, quantities, storage locations, expiry dates, and notes; notification settings; sort settings, etc.) is stored entirely in a local database on your device and is never sent to our servers or any third party's servers. However, technical identifiers may be handled through Google's advertising SDK (AdMob) solely in connection with the ad display described below (see the next section for details).
3. About Advertising (AdMob)
To offer this App for free, we display advertising (banner ads and interstitial ads) through Google AdMob.
- Interstitial ads are limited to a maximum of once per day so they don't interfere with your use of the App.
- On iOS devices, an App Tracking Transparency (ATT) permission dialog is shown the first time the App launches, leaving the choice about ad personalization up to you. If you decline, non-personalized ads will be shown instead.
- In connection with ad delivery, Google may obtain and use information such as advertising identifiers (IDFA / Advertising ID). Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for how this information is handled.

4. About Notifications
Notifications that alert you when an expiry date is approaching are local notifications scheduled entirely on your device. No communication with an external server takes place to send these notifications. You can change the notification frequency ("once" or "daily") at any time from the settings screen.
5. About In-App Review Requests
This App may invoke the OS's standard app store review feature (such as Apple's "In-App Rating Request") after a certain number of save operations. This only uses a standard feature provided by the OS, and we do not obtain your review content or any user information through it.
6. Data Storage and Backup
All data from this App is stored only on your device. Cloud sync and backup features are not currently provided. We are not responsible for restoring data lost due to a device change, App deletion, device failure, or similar events. Please take backup measures at your own discretion as needed.
7. Disclosure to Third Parties
Except where required by law, we do not provide information that could identify you to any third party. This does not apply, however, to the transmission of technical identifiers in connection with ad delivery as described in Section 3.
8. Children's Privacy
This App does not collect personal information targeted at any specific age group.
9. Disclaimer
Information displayed by this App (quantities, storage locations, expiry dates, etc.) is based on what you have entered and does not guarantee the actual state of your stock. As with any software, errors or malfunctions in the displayed content may occur. Always make the final check of expiry dates and stock levels yourself, by physically inspecting the items. We are not liable for any damage arising from decisions (including disposal or restocking) made based on information from this App.
10. Changes to This Policy
The content of this Policy may be changed without notice in response to changes in law or additions of features to this App. Significant changes will be announced within the App or on this page.
