Privacy Policy

Effective: 1 April 2026
What we collect

Labelyze does not collect any personal information. There is no account, no login, and no profile linked to you.

Your scan history, health profile, allergen selections, dietary preferences, ingredient watchlist, personal notes, and weekly goal are all stored locally on your device. None of this data is transmitted to any server.

Product submissions

If you choose to submit a missing product, you are sharing: the product name, brand, barcode, category, ingredients, and optionally nutrition information. This is submitted to a database managed by CaffeineLabs for the purpose of improving the product database. Submissions are opt-in only. You can turn off sharing at any time in Profile > Data and Privacy, or during onboarding.

When sharing is turned off, no data from your device is sent anywhere.

Analytics and advertising

Labelyze contains no analytics, no advertising SDKs, and no third-party trackers of any kind.

Notifications

If you opt in to the weekly summary notification, this is scheduled locally on your device. No data is sent to a server to trigger it.

App review prompt

The app may ask you to rate it on the Play Store using the standard in-app review prompt. This prompt is provided by Google. No data is collected or shared by Labelyze as part of this prompt.

Children

Labelyze does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children. No personal data is collected at all.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at labelyze.in/privacy with a new effective date.

Based on comparative analysis of EU EFSA Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, FSSAI Food Safety and Standards Act 2006, and US FDA Code of Federal Regulations Title 21.

Global benchmarks

Every scan checks against
the world's toughest food standards.

EU EFSA and US FDA have banned or restricted dozens of ingredients still permitted in India. Every Labelyze scan cross-checks your product against all five international bodies and shows exactly where FSSAI stands. Every flag cites its source.

EU
EU EFSA
European Food Safety Authority. Among the strictest food safety standards globally. Bans over 1,600 substances that other regulators still permit.
US
US FDA
Food and Drug Administration. Governs food additives and ingredient safety with a well-documented, publicly accessible regulatory database.
India
FSSAI
India's food regulator. Used as the reference point. Labelyze shows when a product is permitted locally but treated more strictly abroad.
Also checked against:
Canada
Health Canada
UK
UK FSA
🌍 WHO Codex

What Labelyze does

Everything a label
won't tell you.

Every product runs through a full multi-layer analysis the moment you scan it.

01
Personalised Safety Verdict
The first thing you see is a one-line verdict based on your exact health profile and dietary conditions. If you have diabetes, IBS, or a lactose intolerance, the verdict accounts for that. Set your conditions once and every scan is personalised from there.
Core Feature
02
Banned Elsewhere. Known Here.
When an ingredient is prohibited in the EU or US but sold freely in India, you know before you buy. Every flag shows which regulation applies, when it was enacted, and the health reason behind it. No black-box warnings. Every claim has a source.
India Gap
03
Works Fully Offline
Barcode lookups run entirely against a local database on your device. No internet required for most scans. This is not a connectivity feature — it is how the app is built. Works the same in a supermarket basement with no signal.
Offline First
04
Your Data Never Leaves Your Device
Scan history, health profiles, dietary preferences, personal notes, watchlist. All processed entirely on your phone. Never sent to servers. This is how it is built, not a policy that can change.
Privacy by Design
05
Label Lie Detector
Every claim on the front of the pack checked against the actual ingredient list. Zero Sugar hiding maltodextrin. High Protein that does not meet the EU threshold. Caught every time, with evidence.

AR Shelf Scanning
Point your camera at a supermarket aisle and safety scores appear live above every product in view. No tapping. See the verdict before you reach for the shelf.

The information already exists.
We just put it in your hands
at the right moment.

The EU publishes it. The FDA publishes it. Labelyze makes it readable and puts it in your hands before you buy.

Our mission

We built this because
the information gap is real.

Consumers in Europe and North America have access to detailed ingredient safety data at the point of purchase. In India, that same information exists. It has just never been easy to access at the moment you actually need it.

Labelyze does not make decisions for you. It gives you the facts, cites the source, and lets you decide. We are not anti-brand. We are pro-information.

Everything we flag is referenced to a published regulatory source. If we raise a concern, we tell you exactly which body raised it, when, and why. No unexplained scores. No vague warnings. Just clear information, when you need it.
