Privacy Policy
Effective June 10, 2026
BannedPantry (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the website bannedpantry.com and the BannedPantry mobile applications (collectively, the “Service”). This page explains what information we collect and how we use it.
1. Information we collect
- Account information — email address only, used to sign you in and send transactional emails.
- Scan history — barcodes you scan and the resulting product information. Stored so you can revisit past scans.
- Camera access — used only to read barcodes locally on your device. Images are never uploaded or stored on our servers.
- Payment information — handled entirely by Stripe; we never see or store your card number.
- Usage data — anonymous request logs, IP address, browser/device type, and basic analytics. Used to prevent abuse and improve the Service.
2. How we use information
- To provide and improve the Service.
- To send sign-in emails, receipts, and important service notices.
- To enforce free-tier limits and prevent abuse.
- To respond to support requests.
3. Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with the service providers required to operate the Service:
- Supabase — database hosting.
- Vercel — application hosting.
- Stripe — payment processing.
- Resend — transactional email delivery.
- Open Food Facts and similar databases — barcode lookup (we send only the barcode, never your personal data).
4. Data retention
Account information is retained while your account is active. Scan history is retained until you delete it or close your account. Anonymous logs are kept up to 90 days for security purposes.
5. Your rights
You can request export or deletion of your data at any time by emailing privacy@bannedpantry.com. We honor GDPR and CCPA requests.
6. Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
