Privacy Policy

Introduction

Bloat Scan ("we", "our", or "the app") is operated by Wistom. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

Information We Collect

We collect minimal information to provide and improve our service:

• Photos you scan: When you use the scanner feature, the photo is sent to our analysis service to generate your report. We do not store these photos on our servers after the analysis is complete.
• Scan reports: Your scan results are stored locally on your device. We do not have access to your scan history.
• Profile preferences: If you choose to personalize your experience (dietary preferences, sensitivities), this data is stored locally on your device only.
• Purchase information: If you subscribe to Bloat Scan Pro, your payment is processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). We do not collect or store your payment details. We receive only a confirmation of your subscription status.
• Anonymous analytics: We may collect anonymous, aggregated usage data (e.g., feature usage frequency, crash reports) to improve the app. This data cannot be used to identify you personally.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide food analysis when you scan items
• To personalize your experience based on your stated preferences
• To process and manage your subscription
• To improve and optimize the app's functionality
• To respond to your support requests

Data Storage and Security

The majority of your data (scan history, profile, preferences) is stored locally on your device. We do not maintain a user account system — there is no username, password, or login required.

When you scan a food item, the image is transmitted securely to our analysis service using encryption in transit. The image is processed and discarded; it is not retained on our servers.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect any data that passes through our services.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• RevenueCat: Manages subscription status. See RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.
• Apple App Store / Google Play Store: Handles payment processing for subscriptions.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We do not share your data with advertisers. We may share anonymized, aggregated data that cannot identify any individual user.

Children's Privacy

Bloat Scan is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us through our support page and we will promptly remove it.

Your Rights

Since most of your data is stored locally on your device, you have full control over it:

• Delete your data: You can delete the app at any time, which removes all locally stored data (scan history, profile, preferences).
• Access your data: All your data is visible within the app itself.
• Manage subscriptions: You can manage or cancel your subscription through the App Store or Google Play Store settings on your device.

For any other data-related requests, please contact us through our support page.

Data Retention

We do not retain scanned images after analysis. Local data persists on your device until you delete the app. Subscription records are maintained by Apple/Google as per their respective policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy within the app or on our website. The "last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
