Checkly is operated by Nave, a business registered in the Netherlands. For the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we are the data controller for the personal data described in this policy.
If you have any question about this policy or about how your data is handled, contact us at the email address above. We aim to respond within 30 days, as required by the GDPR.
Checkly is designed so that your personal information does not leave your phone. Your health goals, body measurements, dietary preferences, allergens, and scan history are stored locally on your device only. We do not operate user accounts, we do not run a server that stores your profile, and we cannot see your data.
This means we hold almost no personal data about you. The sections below describe the limited exceptions.
During onboarding you may provide your gender, height, weight, health goal, dietary restrictions, allergens, and how strict you want recommendations to be. Some of this qualifies as health data under Article 9 GDPR.
The App requests camera access to read barcodes. The camera feed is processed live on your device to detect a barcode number. We do not record, store, or transmit images or video.
When you scan a product, the barcode number is sent to the Open Food Facts database to retrieve product information. Only the barcode number is sent. No profile data, health information, identifier, or account is attached to the request.
Open Food Facts is an independent open database. Their handling of the request, including any technical logs such as IP address, is governed by their own privacy policy: world.openfoodfacts.org/privacy.
Subscriptions are sold and processed by Apple through the App Store. Apple handles all payment details. We never see or receive your card number, billing address, or Apple ID. We receive only an anonymous confirmation from Apple's StoreKit framework that a valid subscription exists. Apple's handling of your data is governed by the Apple Privacy Policy.
If you email us, we process your email address and the content of your message in order to reply.
Because your profile stays on your device, we do not transfer it anywhere. Barcode lookups reach Open Food Facts servers, which are located in the European Union. Apple may process subscription data outside the European Economic Area under its own safeguards, including EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
You have the right to request access to, rectification of, or erasure of your personal data; to restrict or object to processing; and to data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
Because your profile and scan history are stored only on your device, you can exercise most of these rights directly and immediately: open the App, go to Profile, and use "Clear All Data", or delete the App. Neither action requires our involvement, and once done the data no longer exists.
For anything we do hold, such as support emails, contact info@get-checkly.com.
If you believe we have handled your data improperly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl), or with the supervisory authority in your country of residence.
Checkly is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided data through the App, contact us and we will assist in removing it, although in practice such data resides only on the child's own device and can be deleted there.
Data stored on your device is protected by your device's own operating system security, including the passcode, biometric lock, and encryption provided by iOS. Network requests use encrypted HTTPS connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Checkly scores products against the preferences you set. This is an automated process, but it produces informational guidance only. It has no legal effect on you and does not significantly affect you within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR. It is not medical advice.
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed. Material changes will be announced in the App or on this website. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated policy.
