Food Scanner Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

What we collect

When you scan a product, we collect the barcode/ingredient text you provide, scan result (risk score, verdict, confidence), and an anonymous scan ID.

Camera usage

The camera runs entirely in your browser. Barcode detection happens locally — the video stream never leaves your device. Only the extracted barcode number is sent to our servers.

Image handling

EXIF metadata stripped on upload. Original images deleted within 24 hours.

Third parties

We query OpenFoodFacts with barcodes. No personal info sent.

Disclaimer

Scan results based on public data (WHO, FSSAI, EFSA). Not medical or legal advice. Consult a doctor for health conditions.
