Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2026
IsItSnakeOil (the “App”) is operated as a solo independent project. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and what we never do with it.
What we collect
- Anonymous device ID — a randomly generated identifier stored locally on your device using secure storage. Used solely to manage your scan credits. It is never linked to your name, email, Apple ID, or any personal identifier.
- Product images — photos you take within the app are sent to our server for AI analysis only. They are not stored after the analysis completes and are never used for any other purpose.
- Scan history — a record of products you have scanned (product name, score, date) stored on our server linked only to your anonymous device ID. This lets us show you your scan history within the app.
What we never collect
- Your name, email address, phone number, or physical address
- Your location
- Health or fitness data
- Financial or payment information (purchases are handled entirely by Apple)
- Browsing history or activity outside this app
Third-party services
- OpenAI — product images are processed by OpenAI's API to generate analysis. OpenAI's privacy policy applies to this processing.
- RevenueCat — manages in-app purchases. RevenueCat receives your anonymous device ID and purchase status only.
- Apple — in-app purchases are processed by Apple under their standard terms.
Data sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers or data brokers. We do not use your data to track you across other apps or websites. We do not use fingerprinting or cross-app tracking of any kind.
Data retention
Scan history is retained until you request deletion. You can request deletion of all data associated with your device ID by contacting us at the address below.
Children
The App is rated 4+ and does not knowingly collect any information from children. No account creation or personal information is required to use the App.
Changes
If we make material changes to this policy, the updated date above will reflect that. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance.
