📄 Privacy Policy – BarCode: Smart Shopping

Last updated: February 15, 2026 | Version: 1.0

Dream Pixel Studio built the BarCode: Smart Shopping app as a free application. This service is provided “as is” at no cost. This page informs users about our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when using our Service.

📷 Information Collection and Use

The app is designed with your privacy in mind:

• No Personal Data: We do not collect, store, or share personal information such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, or accounts.
  
  

• Local Barcode Processing: Barcode scanning happens locally on your device. Camera footage is not transmitted or stored.
  
  

• Product Information: Scanned barcodes retrieve product names, manufacturer info, and images from publicly available sources. This data is displayed “as is.”
  
  

• Third-Party Content: We do not control the accuracy of external content, images, or manufacturer details.
  
  

• Local Scan History: Scan history is stored only on your device and is not shared with any servers.
