ShelfCheck never stores your photos, never sells your data, and never shares your personal information with advertisers. Your collection is yours — we just help you organize it.
Product photos are stored locally on your phone. We never upload, store, or access your photos on our servers. When you use AI recognition (premium), the image is sent to the AI provider for processing only and is immediately discarded — never saved.
Your product catalog is stored securely in the cloud so you can access it across devices. Each account is completely isolated — no one else can see your collection. We use industry-standard encryption for all data in transit and at rest.
We don't sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties. Period. If we ever offer anonymized, aggregated insights to beauty brands in the future, no individual user data will ever be identifiable.
We collect your email address to create your account and send you important updates like expiry reminders. We won't spam you. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from within the app.
Premium AI features (product recognition, ingredient analysis) use third-party AI providers to process your requests. Images and data are sent for processing only — they are not stored or used to train AI models. We select providers with strong privacy commitments and strip photo metadata before transmission.
Our website uses minimal cookies for basic functionality. We don't use tracking cookies or advertising pixels. Email signup data is processed by Mailchimp and subject to their privacy policy.
You can delete your account at any time. When you do, all your product data is permanently removed from our servers. Photos were never on our servers to begin with — they stay on your device.
This policy is effective as of February 2026. We may update this policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you via email or in-app notification. For questions, contact privacy@shelfcheck.app.
