4. Camera and Photo Permissions

PurePath may request access to your camera or photo library.

We use camera access so you can scan items directly inside the app. We use photo library access so you can upload selected images from your device for analysis. PurePath only accesses photos or camera content that you choose to provide or permit through your device settings. You can manage camera and photo permissions through your device settings at any time.

5. Third-Party Service Providers

We may use trusted third-party service providers to help operate PurePath. These providers may assist with:

This section should be updated with the exact providers used in the final app build before launch.

6. Artificial Intelligence Processing

PurePath may use artificial intelligence or automated systems to review user-submitted images and generate educational scan results.

AI-generated results may be based on visible image characteristics, user input, product category, item type, material indicators, and other available information. AI systems can make mistakes. Results should not be treated as professional, medical, environmental, chemical, or regulatory advice. By using scan features, you understand that your submitted images and related scan data may be processed by automated systems to provide app functionality.

7. How We Store and Protect Information

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

However, no system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials private and secure.

8. Data Retention

We keep your information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the app, operate our business, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and improve our services.

Scan images and scan history may be stored so users can view past results, unless deleted by the user or removed according to our retention practices. We may retain limited information where required for legal, accounting, fraud prevention, tax, security, or dispute-resolution purposes.

When you request account deletion, we will delete or de-identify personal information associated with your account unless we are legally required or permitted to keep certain information, such as purchase records, fraud prevention records, tax records, security logs, or records needed to resolve disputes.
