Privacy Policy

Local-first by design

BearInApp stores your items, categories, notes, and photos locally in your browser. There is no account, no login, and no server-side database of your personal information. Your data is not uploaded to us.

No tracking

BearInApp uses no analytics or tracking of its own, and this website shows no ads. Your data is not used to build a profile of you.

Information that can leave your device

A few optional features need the internet and send limited information:

• Barcode lookup: when you scan a barcode, only the barcode number is sent to Open Food Facts to suggest a product name. Your items and notes are never sent.
• Advertising: the free app may show a single contextual advertisement. Advertising is based on the app context, not on your items, categories, or photos, and none of that data is shared with the advertising provider. The banner is provided by Google AdSense, which may use cookies to show and measure ads (How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services).
• Feedback: when you send feedback from the app, your email app sends it to [email protected], and it reaches BearInApp with your email address. The app itself sends and stores nothing from the feedback form.

Permissions

• Camera access is requested only when you choose to scan a barcode or a label.
• Browser notifications are requested only when you enable reminders in the app settings.

Backups

You create and restore backups yourself from within the app. Because your data lives in your browser, clearing your browser data or uninstalling the app removes it, so keep backups somewhere safe.

Children

BearInApp is a general-purpose productivity app and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page.
