1. Information We Collect

We do not collect or store any personal information on our servers. All data (comparisons, basket items, settings) is stored locally on your device using your browser's localStorage.

The barcode scanner requires camera access to function. Video is processed locally on your device and is never uploaded to any server. Camera access can be revoked at any time through your browser settings.

We do not use analytics cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party trackers. Your browsing activity is not monitored or recorded.

4. Data Storage

All your saved comparisons, shopping basket items, and preferences are stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage. Clearing your browser data will delete this information.

5. Third-Party Services

The barcode scanner uses the Open Food Facts API to look up product information. When you scan a barcode, the barcode number is sent to this public API to retrieve product data. No personal information is shared.

This calculator does not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
