Terms & Conditions

BiteScan · Last updated: 15 September 2026

In short: BiteScan is an information tool that helps you read the ingredients list on a label. It is not medical or dietary advice. If you have an allergy, always read the packaging itself.

1. Acceptance

By downloading or using the BiteScan app you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the app.

2. Not medical or dietary advice

BiteScan is not a medical device, a healthcare service or a dietitian. It is an information tool that helps you read the ingredients list printed on a package. Nothing in the app, including the health score, risk levels and additive explanations, is medical advice, a diagnosis or a treatment recommendation. Make decisions about your diet, especially if you have a medical condition or an allergy, together with your doctor or dietitian.

3. The packaging always wins

If you have an allergy or a food intolerance, base your decision on the product label itself, not on the app. The camera can misread a line, the light can be poor, the packaging can be curved, the manufacturer may have changed the recipe, and a product may carry a "produced in the same facility" warning. If the app does not find an ingredient, that does not mean the ingredient is absent.

4. The ingredient database and its limits

The additive and allergen dictionary inside the app is compiled from the E-number lists in EU additive legislation and from publicly available food science sources, and is provided for general information. Risk levels are our editorial classification in the light of regulatory status, acceptable daily intake values and common scientific assessments. They are not an official safety rating. Sources change over time and we do not guarantee that the information is complete or current.

5. How to read the health score

The health score is a summary calculated from the risk levels of the recognised ingredients and from the rules in your profile. It does not measure a product’s nutritional value, the portion size or its place in your overall diet. It is a starting point for comparing two products, not an absolute judgement.

6. Camera and text recognition

The app uses the camera only while you are on the scanning screen and only with your permission. Frames are processed on your device: no photo is taken, nothing is stored and nothing is sent to any server. If you do not grant camera access, the rest of the app keeps working.

7. Licence

You are granted a limited, non transferable, non exclusive licence to use the app for personal, non commercial purposes. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer or redistribute the app. For versions obtained through Apple, Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User Licence Agreement (EULA) applies.

8. Purchases and subscription

The optional Premium plan is purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play and charged to that store account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscription in your store account settings. Refunds are subject to the policies of the relevant store. The lifetime option is a one time purchase and does not renew.

9. Limitation of liability

The app is provided "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law we are not liable for any direct or indirect damage arising from misread or undetected ingredients, incomplete or out of date database entries, allergic reactions, data loss, or from the use of or inability to use the app. This clause does not affect liability that cannot be limited by law, nor your statutory consumer rights.

10. Changes and governing law

These terms may be updated. The current version is always on this page. The terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Türkiye.
