Halal Scanner (“we”, “us”) helps you scan packaged-food labels to understand what’s inside them. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices. We built Halal Scanner to need as little personal data as possible.
1. Information we collect
- Anonymous account. When you open the app we create an anonymous account so your data can sync. We do not require your name, email, or phone number to use the app.
- Preferences you give us. Answers from the onboarding questionnaire, such as goals and dietary focus, are used to personalize results.
- Product photos. Photos you take of a product’s front and ingredients label are sent for analysis. They are used to identify the product and read its ingredients.
- Scan history. Products you scan and their results, so you can revisit them.
- AI chat messages. Questions you ask the in-app assistant, so it can answer them.
- Basic technical data. Standard app and diagnostic information needed to keep the service running.
2. How we use your information
- To analyze labels and generate halal-status assessments, confidence levels, and ingredient-source breakdowns.
- To personalize recommendations based on your preferences.
- To power the AI assistant’s answers.
- To maintain, secure, and improve the app.
3. Service providers
We share the minimum data needed with trusted providers who process it on our behalf:
- Supabase — secure backend, database, and storage of your account, preferences, and scan history.
- OpenRouter and routed AI model providers — AI processing of label text and product photos to produce analysis and chat answers. Depending on the selected model, the routed provider may include Google or OpenAI.
- RevenueCat — manages your subscription status.
- Vercel — hosts this website and provides website analytics so we can understand page visits and download-button use.
- Apple and Google — process subscription payments. We never receive your full payment-card details.
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
4. Data retention and deletion
Your scan history and preferences are kept while your account is active so the app works as expected. You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at the email below, and we will remove it from our systems.
5. Security
Data is transmitted over encrypted connections and stored with access controls. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information.
6. Children
Halal Scanner is not directed to children under 13, or the minimum age in your country, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your data, or to object to certain processing. Contact us to exercise these rights.
8. Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above.
