Privacy Policy for ScanCanada

ScanCanada is developed and maintained by Fair Intuition Inc.. We take your privacy seriously and are committed to being transparent about how data is handled in the ScanCanada mobile application (iOS and Android).

Information We Collect

ScanCanada does not collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, phone number, or precise location.

The app processes and stores the following non-personal data to provide its core functionality:

• Barcode data scanned by users to identify products
• User-submitted product information (such as product name, brand, manufacturing or origin details)
• Product images uploaded by users to help identify and verify whether a product is Canadian

This information is stored solely to improve ScanCanada’s product database and scanning accuracy. Submitted data is not linked to any individual user identity.

Camera and Image Usage

ScanCanada uses your device’s camera for the following purposes:

• Scanning product barcodes
• Allowing users to upload product images for identification and verification purposes

Images are uploaded only when explicitly initiated by the user. The app does not capture, record, or transmit images or video without your knowledge or action.

Data Usage

Collected data is used exclusively for:

• Providing ScanCanada’s core functionality
• Improving product classification accuracy
• Enhancing the overall user experience

ScanCanada does not use collected data for advertising, tracking, or user profiling purposes.

Data Sharing

ScanCanada does not sell, rent, or share user data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

Third-party services may be used internally to process product information and improve classification accuracy; however, users do not directly access third-party content through the app.

Data Security

All data transmitted between the app and backend services is encrypted using industry-standard security measures. Reasonable safeguards are in place to protect stored data from unauthorized access.

Your Choices

You may use ScanCanada without submitting product details or images. Submissions are optional and initiated entirely by the user.
