BiteFix is built with a strict privacy-first architecture. Your scan history, custom allergen selections, and wellness goals are stored locally on your device and are never sold, shared, or uploaded to any remote servers. Once a scan or comparison session ends, product data is wiped clean and only lifetime telemetry counters (Successful Scans, Unsuccessful Scans, Total Comparisons) increment locally on the home dashboard.
A. Local Storage: All scanned food profiles and preferences remain secure on your iOS device using encrypted storage. We do not maintain user accounts or remote database servers.
B. Product Lookup Requests: When you scan a food barcode, the app sends only the numeric barcode string (e.g., 0852629004583) to public open-source food databases (Open Food Facts and USDA) to retrieve ingredients and nutritional facts. No personal identifiers or locations are attached to these requests.
Subscriptions and in-app purchases are handled exclusively through Apple's native App Store Billing System (StoreKit 2). We do not collect or store your payment card numbers, billing addresses, or bank details.
You have absolute control over your footprint. You can instantly erase all local scanning history and settings by going to Settings -> Clear Scan History inside the app. Uninstalling the app permanently purges all local storage.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any updates.
