Privacy Policy

What we collect

• Photos of ingredient lists. When you scan a label, the image is sent to our text-extraction service so the ingredients can be read. We do not store the image after the text has been extracted, and we do not use it to identify you.
• Extracted ingredient text. Used only to match against our curated additive database and produce your result.
• Waitlist email addresses. Stored only if you choose to join the PRO waitlist, together with the feature interests you select.
• Anonymous usage events. Basic events such as "a scan was started" or "results were shown", tied to a random session identifier, not to your name or account.
• Feedback messages. Anything you submit through our feedback form, plus an email address if you provide one.

What we do not collect

KidLabel does not ask for your name, your child's name, date of birth, health records or location. There are no user accounts in this free version, and we do not sell data or share it with advertisers.

Why we use it

To read the label you photograph, show you additive information from our curated database, understand at an aggregate level how the app is used so we can improve it, and contact you about PRO features if you asked us to.

Service providers

We use third-party infrastructure providers for hosting, database storage and the text-extraction (OCR) model that reads your photo. These providers process data on our behalf under their own terms.

Retention

Scan photos are processed and not retained. Waitlist emails are kept until you ask us to remove them or until the waitlist is closed. Feedback messages and anonymous usage events are kept while they remain useful for improving the app.

Your choices

You can ask us to delete your waitlist email or a feedback message at any time through our feedback form. Please include the email address you used so we can find the record.

Children

KidLabel is designed for parents and carers, not for children. We do not knowingly collect information from children, and the app does not require any information about a specific child beyond the age band you pick for the scan, which is not stored with your identity.

Changes

If this policy changes we will update the date at the top of this page.
