What we store, why, and how to delete it.

What every scan sends

The product name, brand, and claim text on the label; the score and full breakdown we generate; the price if you type one in; and your device's location, so we can see where and how well a product actually sells. Not signed in? All of this is tied to an anonymous device ID, not to you.

If you sign in with Google

We store an opaque ID tied to your Google account — never your name, email, or photo. Your scan history syncs across devices under that ID alone.

If you sign in with email

Creating an account with your own email does store that email and any name you enter — the same as any account-based app. We don't sell it, share it, or use it for anything beyond signing you in.

Why we collect location and price

Individual scans feed YKO.Earth's sustainability intelligence — the same data platform that publishes the brand scores you see in this app. Location and price help identify where and how products are actually sold, at a market level. We're not building a profile of you; we're building a picture of what's on shelves.

No ads. No trackers. No data sale.

We don't use advertising networks or analytics trackers, and we don't sell scan data to third parties. Google Sign-In is used for authentication only.

On this device

Your last 24 scans are cached on your device only, so re-scanning something you just looked at is instant. This cache never leaves your phone and clears automatically as it fills.

Delete your data

Sign out at any time to unlink your device. To delete your scan history from our servers entirely, email delete@greenspecs.app with your request — we will remove it within 48 hours.
