Privacy and analytics

This app uses Google Firebase Analytics to collect limited app-usage, app, device, and diagnostic information so I can understand feature use and improve reliability. I do not use it to identify you personally, sell personal information, or track you across other companies’ apps or websites.

Firebase Analytics records screens and broad actions such as home choices, barcode or manual searches, result counts, company selection, topic opening, report loading, errors, and sharing. It does not receive product or company names, search text, barcode values, or report content.
