We do not collect any personal data from users. The application requires access to your device’s camera to take pictures of ingredient lists and access to your gallery to select photos for analysis.

3. How We Use Your Data

The images of ingredient lists taken or selected by users are sent to Google for text extraction. The extracted text is then sent to partners like OpenAI for analysis to determine if the ingredients are low FODMAP.

  • Google: For text extraction from images.
  • OpenAI: For analyzing the extracted text to provide feedback on FODMAP content.

Other than these uses, we do not share your data with any other third parties.

The images sent to Google are not stored on any cloud platform for future access. They are used solely for text extraction and are disregarded afterward. The text data sent to OpenAI is also used only for the purpose of analysis and is not stored by us.
