What we collect, and what we don't

Your email address, your password (only ever kept scrambled, never in a form anyone can read), an optional display name, your subscription state, and the products you have scanned or saved. That is the lot.

We do not ask for your date of birth, your address, your phone number, or anything about your skin or your health, because BeautySignal does not need any of it to work.

Your scans and saved products are private to your account. Access is restricted so that only the account holder can read their own history: nobody at BeautySignal can read it — not support, not us. It is not a matter of us promising not to look.

We do count scans in aggregate — how many happened, and which barcodes came back unknown — because that is how we decide which products to add next. Those counts carry nothing that identifies you.

We do not sell personal information. We do not build advertising profiles. We do not send your scan history to any analytics service. We do not track you across other sites.

If you subscribe, your card details go to Stripe and are handled by Stripe. BeautySignal never sees or stores a card number. We keep the identifiers Stripe gives us and the state of your subscription, and nothing else.

One cookie, which holds your session so you stay signed in. It is strictly necessary for the product to work, so there is no consent banner to dismiss. There are no advertising or tracking cookies to consent to.

You can export everything we hold on you, or delete your account outright, from Account settings. Deleting removes your account, your scan history, your saved products, and the link between you and anything you sent in. Product information you contributed stays in the catalogue, because by then it is a fact about a product rather than a fact about you.

Sign-in and security events are kept for a year so we can investigate misuse. Aggregate scan counts are kept indefinitely, because they identify nobody.

BeautySignal is operated by EmKeTech. Write to support@techvora.net about anything here, including a request to see or delete what we hold.
