BuyRite Privacy Policy

2. What Information We Collect

• Device & usage data: App version, device type, operating system, app interactions, and basic usage metrics.
• Barcode data: Product barcodes you scan or search—used solely to check boycott, halal, or ethical status.
• Optional user input: Community suggestions, feedback, or user-generated product tips.

We do not collect or store personal identifiers like names, emails, contact info, location, payment details, or precise sensor data (e.g., GPS).

3. Why We Collect It

• To power app functionality (e.g., barcode lookup, product reports).
• To improve app performance, fix bugs, enhance features, and understand usage patterns.
• To support community contributions, allowing user-suggested products to be verified and added.

4. How We Use & Share Information

• Data is processed locally in the app or via secure backend services.
• Anonymous usage metrics may be shared internally for analytics.
• We do not sell, rent, or share personal user information with third parties.

5. Data Security & Retention

• We use industry-standard encryption (HTTPS/TLS) to secure data in transit.
• Backend servers are protected using secure access controls and monitoring.
• Device and usage data are retained only as long as necessary to provide or improve the service.

6. Your Choices & Rights

• Use of BuyRite does not require any account, email, or personal data.
• You may choose not to share community suggestions—functions such as scanning still work fully without it.
• You can delete usage data anytime by uninstalling the app.
• We’ll inform you if any future policy changes occur; continued app use implies acceptance of the updates.

7. Children’s Privacy

BuyRite is suitable for users aged 10+. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe your child has shared personal info, contact us—info will be deleted promptly.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Each revision will note the “Last Updated” date. Continued use signifies approval of changes.
