Privacy Policy

Ingredient AI ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Ingredient AI mobile application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our app.

Information We Collect

When you use Ingredient AI, we may collect the following information:

• Photos you take: When you scan a product label, the image is sent to our servers for analysis. We do not store these images permanently — they are processed and discarded.
• Product analysis results: We cache analysis results to improve speed for commonly scanned products. This data does not contain personal information.
• Language preference: We store your preferred language locally on your device.
• Scan history: Your scan history is stored locally on your device. We do not have access to it.
• Subscription information: If you subscribe, Apple handles all payment processing. We receive confirmation of your subscription status but never see your payment details.

How We Use Your Information

• To analyze product labels and provide ingredient information
• To suggest healthier product alternatives
• To improve the accuracy and speed of our analysis
• To process and manage your subscription

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to power our analysis:

• Google Gemini API: For product identification and ingredient extraction
• Anthropic Claude API: For detailed health analysis and scoring
• Apple StoreKit: For subscription management and payments

These services process data according to their own privacy policies. We do not share personal information with any third party for advertising or marketing purposes.

Data Storage and Security

Product analysis results are cached on our servers to improve performance. These caches do not contain personal information. Your scan history and preferences are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to our servers.

We use industry-standard security measures to protect data in transit and at rest.

Children's Privacy

Ingredient AI is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
