At UtilityLab, we believe that your health data belongs to you. This Privacy Policy describes how our services, including Foodentity (the "App"), collect, use, and share your information.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide a personalized health experience.

  • Account Information: When you create an account, we store your email and authentication credentials via Supabase.
  • Scanned Data: We maintain a history of your scanned barcodes and "Saved Items" to allow you to track your nutritional habits.
  • Premium Data: If you are a Premium user, we store your "Shopping Lists" and "Alternative Product" preferences. This data may be cached locally on your device using Hive for offline access.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the data collected to:

  • Calculate personalized Health Scores (0–100) for scanned products.
  • Provide real-time allergen alerts based on your profile.
  • Sync your shopping lists across devices via our cloud backend.
  • Improve our scoring algorithms (using anonymized, aggregated data).

3. Data Storage and Security

  • Cloud Storage: We use Supabase for secure, encrypted cloud storage of your profile and saved items.
  • Local Storage: For Premium users, we use Hive to store an encrypted local cache of the ingredient dictionary and product data.
  • Encryption: All data transmitted between the App and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols.

4. Third-Party Services

  • Open Food Facts API: The App pulls nutritional data from the Open Food Facts database. We only send the barcode number to retrieve product details.
  • Payment Processors: Subscription payments are handled by third-party stores. UtilityLab does not store your credit card information.
