We believe that your privacy is a fundamental right, and we've designed InciSister to respect and protect your personal information. This policy applies to all information collected through our website and services.

How We Use Your Information
How we process and utilize your data

Data Storage and Retention
How long we keep your information
We do not store your ingredient searches or personal analysis data. All ingredient analysis is performed instantly and anonymously. We do not create user accounts or require registration, which means we don't collect or store personal information like names, email addresses, or profiles.
Any automatically collected technical information (such as usage analytics) is retained only for as long as necessary to provide our services and improve our platform, typically for a period not exceeding 24 months.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We don't sell your data
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: We may share information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our platform (such as hosting services), subject to strict confidentiality agreements
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or in response to valid legal requests
- Protection of Rights: We may share information to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users
Data Security
How we protect your information
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
- Encryption of data in transit using SSL/TLS protocols
- Regular security assessments and updates
- Limited access to information on a need-to-know basis
- Secure hosting infrastructure
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
