Last updated: August 20, 2026
Account information
When you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive information from that provider, which may include your name, email address, and a unique account identifier. We use this information to create and manage your account, sync saved and liked fragrances, and administer feature limits.
Photos and camera
With your permission, you may capture or select images of fragrance bottles. Those images are transmitted to our servers and processed by third-party artificial intelligence services to identify products. We may retain related scan metadata (such as status, match results, and technical diagnostics) to operate, secure, and improve the service.
Usage and device information
We may collect information about how you use the app and about your device, including device type, operating system, app version, and identifiers used for security, fraud prevention, and advertising as described below.
Feedback
If you contact us or submit feedback, we collect the contents of your message and associated account information as needed to respond and improve the app.
Advertising
The app may display advertisements served by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect device and advertising identifiers in accordance with its own policies. On iOS, personalized advertising may require your consent under Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework. You may change this preference in iOS Settings.
How we use information
We may collect information about how you use the app and about your device, including device type, operating system, app version, a device or install identifier used to enforce free scan and AI insight limits across reinstalls or account changes, and identifiers used for security, fraud prevention, and advertising as described below.
Sharing
We share information with service providers only as needed to operate the app, including Apple and Google (sign-in), third-party AI providers (image analysis and insights), Google AdMob (advertising), and providers that host our API and database. We do not sell personal information.
Account Deletion
You may delete your account in the app (Account → Delete account). Upon deletion, we remove your personal account data from our active systems, except where limited retention is required for security, abuse prevention, or legal obligations.
Children's Privacy
ScentScanner is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
