Safi (the "app") scans product ingredients and visible package evidence to provide halal, vegan, vegetarian, kosher, animal-testing and health information. This policy explains which data we process, why and how.
1. Data we collect
Scan data: The barcode number you enter or the label photo you take is processed only in order to analyse the ingredients. Photos are not stored permanently on our servers; they are discarded once the analysis is finished.
Scan history: A summary of the products you have scanned is stored only in your device's own storage and is never sent to the server. If you delete the app, that history goes with it.
Random installation identifier and usage events: The app creates a random UUID on your device and sends it with anonymous usage events such as scans and screen views. It is not IDFA/IDFV, contains no direct identity information and is not used for advertising tracking. It is used to improve the service, measure costs and prevent abuse.
Technical data: Request IP addresses are processed temporarily for rate limiting and abuse prevention.
2. Services we share data with
Anthropic (Claude): The ingredient text or image is processed in order to explain the ingredients in plain language.
Open Food Facts ecosystem: Food, beauty and general product information is looked up by barcode (open databases).
RevenueCat and your app store: Purchase history and active status for the optional supporter membership are processed through the App Store or Google Play.
3. No account needed
You do not need to create an account or sign in to use Safi. The app has no accounts, no profiles and no passwords; we never ask for your name, e-mail address or phone number. Your data is not synchronised between devices.
4. Storage and security
Scan images are not stored permanently. To reduce model costs when the same product is analysed again, an irreversible image digest and the analysis result without direct identity data may be cached for up to 30 days. Data is transmitted over an encrypted connection. Your scan history stays on your device.
5. Your rights
You can delete the history on your device from inside the app. Deleting the app also removes the random device identifier. You can contact us with any question about your data.
6. Children
The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.
7. Changes and contact
