Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 24, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to Yuzli. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you use our mobile application and related services.

By using Yuzli, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect:

  • Email address
  • Name (optional)
  • Apple ID or Google account identifier (when you sign in with those providers)

Scans & Food Content

When you use Yuzli, we process:

  • Barcodes you scan to look up products
  • Photos of nutrition labels and ingredient lists that you capture for scanning
  • Recognized product data, including nutrition values, ingredients, additives, and the resulting health score
  • Your scan history and saved favorites
  • Dietary preferences and allergies you choose to set

Location Data

If you use the "nearby healthy stores" feature, we access your device location (only with your permission) to find relevant places near you. You can disable this at any time in your device settings.

Usage & Device Data

We may collect basic device information (device type, OS version) and diagnostic or crash data to keep the app stable. Yuzli does not use third-party advertising or cross-app tracking SDKs.

How We Use Your Information

  • Look up products and compute their 0–100 health score
  • Read nutrition labels and ingredient lists from the photos you capture
  • Flag additives and allergens relevant to your preferences
  • Maintain your scan history and favorites across sessions
  • Suggest healthier alternatives and nearby healthy stores
  • Provide customer support and keep the app reliable

Third-Party Services & Data Sharing

Yuzli relies on a small set of third-party services to provide its core features. We only share the minimum data each service needs.

Open Food Facts

Data sent: the barcode you scan. Purpose: to retrieve product information (name, ingredients, nutrition) from the Open Food Facts collaborative database. No account or personal information is sent.

USDA FoodData Central

Data sent: non-personal food/nutrient queries. Purpose: to supplement nutrition reference data. No personal information is sent.

OpenAI (Label Reading)

Data sent: the label photo you captured plus the text our on-device scanner already extracted from it. This is sent through our secure backend to OpenAI to structure the label into nutrition, ingredients, and additives. Purpose: accurate label parsing. OpenAI processes this under their API data usage policy and does not use it to train their models. Label photos are not shared with other users or sold.

Google Places

Data sent: your approximate location when you open the nearby-stores feature. Purpose: to find healthy stores and markets near you.

Supabase

We use Supabase for authentication, secure backend functions (including label reading), and any account data storage. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit.

Apple & Google Sign-In

When you choose to sign in with Apple or Google, we receive a basic identity token to create your account. We do not receive your provider password.

On-Device Processing

Initial text recognition on label photos runs on your device (Apple Vision on iOS, ML Kit on Android). That step happens locally and is not uploaded.

Data Storage and Security

  • Your scan history, favorites, and preferences are persisted on your device using the platform's local storage
  • Data sent to our backend and third-party services is encrypted in transit (TLS)
  • Server-side data, when applicable, is hosted on Supabase with encryption at rest

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of your data at any time.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:

  • Service providers who help us operate Yuzli (the services listed above)
  • Law enforcement when required by law

Your Rights

  • Access your personal data
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Delete your account and all associated data
  • Withdraw consent for optional permissions (camera, photos, location) at any time

To delete your account, use the option in the app's Settings, or contact us at the email below.

Children's Privacy

Yuzli is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in compliance with applicable data protection laws.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
