GentleScan — Privacy Policy
Effective date: November 10, 2026
App: GentleScan ("the app", "we", "us")
Operator: AGENDA365.COM LLC, Battle Ground, Washington, USA
Contact: agenda365.com@gmail.com
GentleScan is a food-scanner and nutrition-tracking app. This policy explains what information the app handles, where that information lives, and the choices you have. We keep this simple because the app is simple: GentleScan has no user accounts, shows no ads, and never sells your data.
1. Information stored on your device
Almost everything in GentleScan lives only on your phone or tablet:
- Your setup answers — the focus you pick in the setup quiz (for example GLP-1, blood-sugar awareness, PCOS, or high-protein), your goal, activity level, sex, age, weight, and height.
- Your plan — the daily calorie and nutrient targets the app calculates from those answers.
- Your food log — the meals and foods you add, with their nutrition estimates and the date and time you logged them.
- Your subscription state — whether GentleScan Pro is active on this device.
This information is stored in the app's local storage on your device. It is not sent to us, and we have no server that receives or stores it. There is no sign-up and no login, so we never collect your name, email address, password, or contacts through the app.
2. Camera and photos
GentleScan uses your device's camera and photo library only when you ask it to:
- Meal photos. When you take or pick a photo of a meal, the app uses that photo to produce a nutrition estimate (see Section 3). The app does not keep a copy of your meal photos — your food log stores the resulting nutrition estimates, not the pictures.
- Barcodes. In barcode mode, the camera reads the barcode number only. No photo is taken or stored for a barcode scan.
- Permission. Camera and photo-library access work only after you grant your device's permission prompts, and you can turn that access off at any time in your device settings. You can also use the app without the camera by searching for foods by name.
3. Photo analysis
In the current version of the app, photo scanning runs in demo mode: the app shows clearly labelled sample meals for photo scans, and no meal photo ever leaves your device. When an AI photo analysis service is connected in a future version, this section will be updated before that version is released, and the policy will name how photos are processed.
4. Food lookups (USDA and Open Food Facts)
When you search for a food or scan a barcode, the app sends only the search words you typed or the barcode number — nothing about you — to:
- USDA FoodData Central (U.S. Department of Agriculture), for food name searches, barcode matches, and nutrition data.
- Open Food Facts (openfoodfacts.org), for packaged-product barcode lookups and searches.
These services receive the query and the technical information any internet request carries (such as an IP address). Their handling of that information is covered by their own policies.
5. Subscriptions and payments
GentleScan Pro is sold as a subscription through Google Play. Payments are processed entirely by Google Play — we never see or store your card or bank details.
We use RevenueCat, a subscription-management service, to check whether your subscription is active and unlock Pro features. To do that, RevenueCat receives subscription and purchase-status information from Google Play (for example, which plan you bought and whether it is active). RevenueCat processes this under its own privacy policy.
Prices, trial, renewal, and cancellation terms are shown in the app before you buy and in your Google Play account, where you manage or cancel your subscription.
6. What we do not do
- No ads. The app contains no advertising and no advertising trackers.
- No data sale. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information — to anyone, ever.
- No accounts or cloud profiles. There is no GentleScan account and no cloud sync in the app.
- No analytics SDKs. The app does not include third-party analytics or crash-tracking tools that collect information about you.
- No location, contacts, or microphone access. The app does not ask for these permissions.
7. How long data is kept, and how to delete it
- On-device data (setup answers, plan, food log, subscription state) stays on your device until you remove it. You can delete all of it at any time in the app under Settings → Reset all data, and uninstalling the app removes it as well.
- Subscription records are held by Google Play and RevenueCat as part of processing your purchase. If you want any of that information deleted, contact us at the email below and we will help you request deletion from the services involved, or point you to the store controls that do it.
To ask about or request deletion of any information connected with your use of GentleScan, email agenda365.com@gmail.com. Because the app collects no account information, there is normally nothing held by us to delete — but we will always check and confirm.
8. Children
GentleScan is designed for adults and is intended for users 18 years of age and older. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the app, contact us and we will address it.
9. Health information note
The setup answers and food log described above can relate to your health goals. In GentleScan they stay on your device as described in Section 1. GentleScan provides general nutrition information and estimates for tracking purposes only. It is not a medical service, does not diagnose or treat any condition, and is not a substitute for advice from your physician or care team. Please read the Health Disclaimer in the app (Settings → Health Disclaimer).
10. Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles information — for example, if a future version connects the AI photo service, adds accounts, cloud sync, or analytics — we will update this policy first, change the effective date above, and, where the change is significant, tell you in the app before the change takes effect.
