Information you provide
You may provide a display name, optional profile photo, product photos, product and brand names, categories, barcodes, batch codes, dates, prices, notes, ingredient text, storage locations, favorites, and care-reminder details. These records, along with optional usage logs, routines, wishlists, travel checklists, ratings, and repurchase history, are stored locally. If you enable private iCloud sync, a copy is also stored in your own iCloud account.
Camera, photos, and on-device processing
Camera and photo-library access are used only when you choose to scan or photograph something. Native Apple Vision and image-processing frameworks may recognize barcodes or text and isolate a product from its background on-device. VanityFresh does not upload personal product photos to an advertising or analytics service.
Notifications and location
If enabled, local notifications remind you about estimated product dates, recall matches, and cleaning routines. Storage-heat checks may use Apple WeatherKit and location-derived weather information after permission is granted. Permissions can be disabled in iOS Settings.
Network requests
VanityFresh may contact Open Beauty Facts and the connected Open Facts catalogs for barcode information, FDA published cosmetic notices and openFDA drug enforcement reports for recall information, Apple WeatherKit for weather conditions, MapKit for recycling searches, and Apple StoreKit for purchases. These services receive the query and technical information necessary to answer the request and operate under their own privacy terms.
Support
When you email support, your email provider sends the message and anything you deliberately include to support@heric.net. Privacy-aware diagnostics exclude product names, photos, notes, dates, notification contents, and exported inventory data.
Exports and backups
VanityFresh+ can keep automatic local backup snapshots. You can also export CSV, PDF, or a complete backup to Files. Optional private iCloud sync copies your collection, product photos, usage logs, routines, wishlists, ratings, and history to your own iCloud account while the app is open. Sync is off until you enable it. Device preferences and notification permissions remain local to each device. Apple provides iCloud storage under its own terms. Exported files and backups may contain personal collection information; their sharing is controlled by you and your selected destination.
Analytics, advertising, and sale
This version contains no third-party advertising SDK or remote behavioral analytics service. VanityFresh does not sell personal information. Limited usage events used by the app are stored on-device.
Retention and deletion
Local information remains until you edit it, delete it, delete all app data, or remove the app, subject to device and backup behavior. Restoring a backup can reintroduce previously saved records. Deleting all local app data turns off sync; it does not delete copies already in iCloud. Manage those copies in iPhone Settings. Removing the app does not cancel an App Store subscription.
Security and children
VanityFresh relies on iOS security protections and reasonable safeguards, but no storage method can be guaranteed completely secure. The app is not directed to children under 13.
Changes and contact
This policy may be updated as features or legal requirements change. Questions or privacy requests may be sent to support@heric.net.
