Privacy Policy

Account information, such as your user ID, email address, display name, Checkout @ handle, profile image, sign-in provider, role, moderation status, and account status.

Authentication information from supported sign-in providers, including Apple Sign In and Google Sign-In.

Profile and social information, such as friend connections, friend requests, profile privacy settings, anonymous review setting, whether you allow friend requests, whether you share ratings with friends, profile counts, and friend activity shown inside Checkout.

Product contribution data, such as product names, brands, barcodes, categories, store or purchase-location selections, ingredients, nutrition facts, product tags, reports, edit requests, and related metadata.

Product photos that you choose to upload, including front label, ingredients label, and nutrition label images.

Rating and community data, such as ratings, comments, favorites, scans, leaderboard activity, product reports, feedback, and support messages.

App telemetry and diagnostic data, such as app events, error reports, performance signals, device or app version information, and network/server failure details.

Coffee Supporter subscription status information if you choose to support Checkout. App Store purchases are processed by Apple; we may store receipt, transaction, entitlement, renewal, expiration, or subscription status information needed to provide the supporter badge, restore purchases, handle support, and prevent abuse.

Checkout uses your camera when you choose to scan a barcode or capture product photos. Product photos are uploaded only when you choose to continue through the product upload flow.

Checkout may use AI-assisted parsing to read labels, extract ingredients and nutrition details, identify product names and brands, and suggest category placement. Product photos and draft product data may be sent to Checkout's backend and AI service providers for this purpose.

Checkout's Ingredient Checker preferences are intended to stay on your device unless you choose to include that information in feedback, support, or another submission.

We use information to operate product scanning, upload, search, ranking, rating, profile, favorites, leaderboard, and account features.

We use information to operate Checkout @ handles, profile pages, friend search, friend requests, friend lists, friend activity, and profile privacy controls.

We use information to build and maintain Checkout's shared product ranking database, parse product labels, improve category matching, prevent duplicate categories, and maintain category quality.

We use information to show community rankings, ratings, review counts, category rankings, admin-curated Checkout Top Picks, and Coffee Supporter profile badges when active.

We use information to moderate product uploads, photos, ratings, reviews, reports, edit requests, and account activity; respond to support and privacy requests; improve reliability; and protect Checkout from spam, fraud, abuse, and security issues.

Product uploads are intended to become part of Checkout's shared product database. Product pages, product photos, names, brands, barcodes, ingredients, nutrition details, category placement, rankings, ratings, review counts, and related product data may be visible to other users.

If you delete your account, product pages and product photos you contributed may remain available because they support the shared rankings used by other shoppers. Where possible, Checkout unlinks those product uploads from your account.

Checkout uses unique @ handles so users can find and add each other without sharing email addresses. Your handle, profile image or avatar, profile counts, public badges, and public ranking activity may be visible in the app depending on your settings and where your activity appears.

When you use Friends, you can search for handles, send requests, accept or decline requests, remove friends, and view friend activity. Accepted friends may be able to see your handle, profile information, profile counts, and product ratings you choose to share with friends.

Private Profile hides your profile from handle search, blocks new friend requests, and keeps your ratings out of friend activity.

Anonymous Reviews hides your handle and profile identity from public product reviews and leaderboards where supported, and prevents your ratings from being shared in friend activity.

Share Ratings With Friends controls whether accepted friends can see your ratings in friend activity and profile ranking views when your profile is not private or anonymous.

Allow Friend Requests controls whether other users can send you new friend requests when your profile is not private.

Checkout may include editorial or admin-curated labels, such as Checkout Top Pick or featured rankings. These labels are part of the product experience and may be based on category rankings, product quality review, community data, or Checkout's own curation.

Checkout may offer an optional Coffee Supporter auto-renewable subscription through Apple's in-app purchase system. This subscription helps support ongoing development and operating costs. It does not unlock core scanning, ranking, upload, search, or rating features.

Apple processes subscription payments, renewals, cancellations, refunds, and billing information. Checkout does not receive your full payment card information from Apple. We may receive or store limited transaction, receipt, entitlement, renewal, expiration, refund, or subscription status information needed to confirm and maintain the supporter badge, restore purchases, respond to support requests, and comply with legal, tax, security, or platform requirements.

Checkout may use Apple Sign In, Google Sign-In, Supabase, AI-assisted product parsing providers such as Google Gemini or similar services, email and support providers, telemetry and diagnostics providers, and Apple App Store purchase infrastructure.

Checkout's website may use Google AdSense or similar advertising services. These services may use cookies or device/browser signals to serve, measure, and improve ads, subject to their own privacy policies and your browser or ad personalization controls.

These providers process information as needed to provide Checkout features, infrastructure, security, and support. If you open external community links, your use of those services is governed by their own policies.

You can start account deletion in the app from Profile -> Delete Account.

When account deletion is processed, Checkout removes or unlinks account-scoped information such as your user profile, account identifiers, saved account state, favorites, friend connections, friend requests, and other user-specific records where feasible. Ratings may be anonymized and comments may be removed. Product uploads may remain in the shared product database after they are unlinked from your account.

Account deletion does not delete your Apple ID, Google account, App Store purchase history, or records we are required or permitted to retain for legal, security, billing, backup, moderation, or operational reasons.

We keep account information while your account is active. We may retain shared product database records, anonymized or aggregated ranking data, telemetry, logs, backups, moderation records, support records, and legal/security records for as long as reasonably needed for Checkout's operation, safety, legal compliance, dispute resolution, and product quality.

You can edit your Checkout @ handle, manage friends and privacy controls, delete your account, manage or cancel Coffee Supporter through Apple subscription settings, report product issues, contact us about product uploads or photos you contributed, and stop using camera or photo features by not granting or by revoking device permissions.

On the website, you can manage cookies, ad personalization, and similar browser-based controls through your browser settings and Google ad settings.

Checkout is not directed to children under 13. Some product categories may include alcohol or other age-sensitive products. Users are responsible for following applicable laws and age restrictions.

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information. No app, network, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

We may update this Privacy Policy as Checkout changes. Continued use after an update means the updated policy applies.
