Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Wisin ("we," "our," or "us"). Wisin is an ingredient checker application that helps users identify potentially harmful substances in products by scanning barcodes. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile application (the "App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

By using Wisin, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Camera Permission

Wisin requires access to your device's camera solely for the purpose of scanning product barcodes. This permission enables you to quickly identify products and view their ingredient information.

2.2 Data We Do NOT Collect

• Camera images or photographs
• Video recordings
• Personal identification information (unless you voluntarily provide it)
• Location data
• Contact information from your device
• Health information

2.3 Barcode and Product Data

When you scan a barcode, the app processes the barcode number to retrieve product and ingredient information from our database. This data may be stored locally on your device for:

• Viewing product ingredient lists
• Identifying harmful substances
• Maintaining scan history (if enabled)
• Improving app functionality

3. How We Use Information

The camera permission and barcode data are used exclusively to:

• Scan product barcodes
• Retrieve and display product ingredient information
• Identify potentially harmful substances in products
• Provide health and safety information about ingredients
• Maintain your scan history (locally on your device)

We do not use camera access or product data for advertising, third-party analytics, or any data collection purposes beyond the core functionality of the app.

4. Data Storage and Security

All personal data processed by Wisin is stored locally on your device. We implement appropriate security measures to protect any data stored within the app.

Camera images are processed in real-time and are never saved or transmitted to external servers. Only the barcode numbers are processed to fetch ingredient information.

5. Third-Party Services

Wisin may use third-party services for:

• Barcode recognition technology
• Product ingredient database access
• App performance monitoring

These services are integrated in a way that respects your privacy and does not share personal information without your consent. We ensure all third-party services comply with applicable data protection regulations.

6. Health Information Disclaimer

Wisin provides information about product ingredients and potential health impacts for educational purposes only. This information should not be considered medical advice.

Important: Always consult with qualified healthcare professionals before making decisions based on ingredient information. Wisin is not responsible for any health decisions made based on the information provided by the app.

7. Children's Privacy

Our app is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

8. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Revoke camera permission at any time through your device settings
• Delete your scan history within the app
• Delete the app and all associated data from your device
• Contact us with questions about your privacy
• Request information about data we may have collected

Note that revoking camera permission will prevent the barcode scanning feature from functioning, which is essential to the app's core functionality.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by:

• Posting the new Privacy Policy on this page
• Updating the "Last Updated" date
• Providing in-app notifications for significant changes

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.

10. Data Deletion

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you can delete all app data by:

• Uninstalling the app from your device, or
• Clearing the app's data through your device settings, or
• Using the "Clear Data" option within the app settings (if available)

11. International Users

Wisin is designed to be used globally. If you are using the app from outside the country where our servers are located, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a country where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.
