BiteForMe provides general food, ingredient, nutrition, suitability, and optional halal-related information. The app does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, or professional dietary advice.
Product information may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate. Users should always check the product label and consult a qualified professional when needed.

BiteForMe may use publicly available food product information from third-party sources such as Open Food Facts.
Open Food Facts data is provided by its contributors and may be incomplete or inaccurate. Users should verify product labels before making decisions.

The app may communicate with third-party services only when necessary to provide app functions, such as retrieving food product information or improving app reliability.
6. Data Storage
Some app data, such as favorites, recent scans, and preferences, may be stored locally on the user’s device.
If cloud-based services are added in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.
7. Children

Data Retention and Deletion
BiteForMe is designed to minimize the amount of personal data collected from users.
The app does not require users to create an account. We do not store users’ ingredient label photos, barcode scans, health information, or personal food preferences on our own servers.
Some app data, such as favorites or recently viewed products, may be stored locally on the user’s device. Users can delete this local data by clearing the app data from their device settings or by uninstalling the app.
If you would like to request deletion of any data associated with your use of BiteForMe, you can contact us at:
biteforme10@gmail.com
Please include “BiteForMe Data Deletion Request” in the subject line. We will review and process valid deletion requests within 30 days.
If we do not hold any personal data associated with your request, we will inform you accordingly.
Data obtained from third-party sources such as Open Food Facts is not personal user data controlled by BiteForMe. Users should contact the relevant third-party data provider for requests related to third-party database content.
