What I Eat Privacy Policy
Effective May 24, 2026
What I Eat is free, with no ads, tracking, or subscription.
What I Eat is an iOS app from Big Pants Apps. It helps you scan barcodes and search products using Open Food Facts-based product data. Favorites, preferences, and scan history are stored on your device. We do not sell personal data, run ads, use tracking SDKs, require an account, or use subscriptions.
Summary
Privacy at a glance
You do not need to create an account or profile to scan, search, save favorites, or review history.
Favorites, recent scan history, preferences, and settings are stored on your device.
Barcode scans and searches request product data so the app can show food information. These requests are not used for advertising or tracking.
Details
What stays local and what is requested
What I Eat stores favorites, recent scan history, dietary preferences, cached product details, and settings locally on your iPhone or iPad. Big Pants Apps does not receive this local app data unless you choose to include it in a support email.
To look up a product, the app sends barcode or search requests to a product lookup service. The service may process basic technical request information such as IP address, user agent, timestamp, requested path, barcode, or search term to return results, keep the service reliable, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot problems.
Product information is based on Open Food Facts and related open product data. Records can be incomplete, user-contributed, region-specific, or out of date, so the product package remains the source of truth.
Food information
Not medical, nutrition, or allergy advice
What I Eat provides informational food-label context only. Scores, additives, allergens, and preference warnings are not medical advice, nutrition advice, or allergy guidance.
For allergies, medical diets, pregnancy, or health decisions, read the physical package label and consult a qualified professional when needed.
