1. Who We Are
InciCheck is developed and maintained by Sasa Duvnjak (ABN holder), operating under the app name InciCheck. For privacy-related enquiries, contact: sasha.duvnjak@gmail.com
2. Information We Do Not Collect
InciCheck does not collect or process any of the following:
- Your name, email address, or any account information
- Location data
- Device identifiers or advertising IDs
- Usage analytics or crash reports
- Persistent camera images or photos — images sent for OCR are not stored by InciCheck or retained by Google Cloud Vision after processing
- Any personally identifiable information of any kind
3. Information Stored On Your Device
InciCheck stores the following data locally on your device using AsyncStorage. This data never leaves your device:
- Scan history — ingredient lists from previous scans
- Saved results — results you have chosen to save, including any custom names and notes you added
- Scan count — a counter tracking how many free scans you have used
- Unlock status — whether you have purchased the lifetime unlock
You can delete all of this data at any time by uninstalling the app.
4. Camera Permission & OCR Processing
InciCheck requests access to your device camera solely for the purpose of scanning product ingredient labels. When you take a scan, the image is transmitted to Google Cloud Vision API for text extraction (OCR). The image is used only for this purpose and is not stored by InciCheck or retained by Google beyond the processing request. No images are saved to your device or shared with any other party. Google Cloud Vision is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
5. In-App Purchases
InciCheck offers a one-time purchase ("Unlock Unlimited") for unlimited lifetime scans. All payment processing is handled entirely by Google Play (Android) or Apple App Store (iOS). InciCheck does not receive, process, or store any payment card details or billing information. Purchase verification is managed by the respective platform's billing infrastructure.
6. Third-Party Services
InciCheck uses Google Cloud Vision API solely for OCR text extraction from ingredient label images. No analytics, advertising, tracking, or crash reporting services are integrated. No SDKs from Facebook, Google Analytics, Firebase, Crashlytics, Amplitude, or similar services are included in the app.
Ingredient data is sourced from Open Beauty Facts, a public database. Product name lookups are sent as plain text queries with no identifying information attached.
7. Children's Privacy
InciCheck does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. As no data is collected at all, the app is safe for use by people of all ages.
8. Data Security
InciCheck transmits ingredient label images to Google Cloud Vision over an encrypted HTTPS connection. No images are stored by InciCheck after processing. All on-device data is protected by your device's own operating system security and any screen lock or biometric authentication you have enabled.
9. Changes to This Policy
If InciCheck is updated in a way that affects how data is handled, this privacy policy will be updated and the "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the change. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
