We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use ShelfScan.
1.2. Information Collected Automatically
When you use ShelfScan, we may collect certain technical data automatically, including:

1.3. Data from Your Device
ShelfScan uses your device's camera to scan product ingredients. Images captured during scanning are processed locally on your device using Optical Character Recognition (OCR).

- Diagnose technical issues and ensure app security
3. Sharing Your Information
ShelfScan does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share data only in the following scenarios:

- Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws or respond to lawful requests from authorities
4. Data Security
We employ industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encryption and secure servers. While we strive to safeguard your data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Use the app at your own discretion.
5. Your Choices
- Accessing Device Features: You can disable the app's access to your camera in your device settings, though this may limit functionality.
