Bitegood

Privacy Policy

Last updated August 20, 2026

The short version: Bitegood stores your allergy profiles and scan history only on your device. Nothing is uploaded to us, sold, or shared. The only thing that ever leaves your device is a product barcode number, sent to Open Food Facts to look up that product — never anything that identifies you.

01

What Bitegood stores on your device

When you use Bitegood, the following is saved locally, using on-device storage that never leaves your phone:

None of this is linked to your identity, an account, or a device advertising ID — Bitegood has no account system and doesn't ask who you are.

02

Camera and photos

Bitegood uses your camera to scan barcodes and photograph ingredient labels. Barcode decoding and text recognition both happen entirely on your device. Photos taken for label scanning are processed in memory to extract text and are not saved to your photo library or sent anywhere.

03

Network requests

Barcode mode looks up product info from Open Food Facts, an open, crowdsourced food database. The only thing sent in that request is the barcode number itself — not your name, location, device identifiers, or anything else about you. Label (OCR) mode makes no network request at all; it works fully offline.

04

In-app purchases

Bitegood Pro is a one-time purchase processed entirely by Apple through the App Store's payment system. Bitegood never receives or stores your payment details — Apple's own privacy policy covers that transaction.

05

What Bitegood doesn't do

06

Children's privacy

Bitegood is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children — everything described above is stored locally regardless of who's using the app.

07

Your choices

You can delete an allergy profile at any time from the profile list. Uninstalling Bitegood removes everything at once — profiles, scan history, and your Pro entitlement record — since none of it exists anywhere but your device. (If you've purchased Pro, reinstalling and tapping "Restore purchase" recovers it through Apple, independent of the local data that was removed.)

08

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "last updated" date at the top of this page will change with it. Material changes will also be reflected in the app's own release notes.
