Bezra Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Bezra ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Bezra application and website at bezra.app (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Who we are

Bezra is a food intelligence application that lets you scan food and grocery items, track a pantry inventory, receive expiry alerts, generate recipes, compare grocery prices, and share a pantry with members of your household.

For any privacy questions, contact us at support@bezra.app.

2. Information we collect

Account information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and a password. Your password is never stored in plain text — it is stored only as a secure cryptographic hash. We also store your selected plan tier.

Content you provide

We collect the information you enter or generate while using the Service, including:

  • Pantry inventory items, quantities, and expiry dates
  • Shopping lists
  • Saved recipes
  • Your household's name and membership
  • Food and barcode images you capture for scanning

Food and barcode scans

When you scan a food item or barcode, the image and/or barcode data is processed to identify the product and its information. Image-based scanning is processed using a third-party AI provider (see Section 4). Barcode lookups may be matched against public food databases.

Location and store preferences

To provide grocery price comparison, we collect location information you provide, such as a ZIP/postal code and preferred stores. We use this to return relevant local pricing.

Device and notification data

If you enable push notifications, we store the push subscription token your browser provides so we can send you alerts (for example, expiry reminders). We may also collect basic technical information such as browser type and device information.

Log and usage data

Like most online services, our infrastructure providers automatically record technical information such as IP address, access times, and error logs for security and reliability.

We do not collect payment card information at this time. If and when paid subscriptions are enabled, payments will be handled by a third-party payment processor and this policy will be updated accordingly.

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the Service
  • Identify scanned foods and retrieve nutritional, allergen, and product information
  • Track your pantry and send expiry and low-stock alerts
  • Generate recipe suggestions and compare grocery prices
  • Enable household sharing among members you invite
  • Send transactional emails (account verification, password resets, and important notices)
  • Secure the Service, prevent abuse, and debug problems
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information.

4. How we share information (service providers)

We share information with third-party service providers only as needed to operate the Service. These include:

  • Anthropic — AI processing of food images and text to identify foods and generate information and recipes. Images and related data you submit for scanning may be sent to Anthropic's API for processing.
  • Open Food Facts — public food product database used for barcode and product lookups.
  • Kroger (and other grocery data providers we may add) — to retrieve grocery pricing based on location and search terms.
  • Resend — to deliver transactional emails to your email address.
  • Supabase — database hosting where your account and content data are stored.
  • Vercel — application hosting and delivery.
  • Web push services — your browser's push service (operated by your browser/OS vendor) is used to deliver push notifications if you enable them.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or safety, or in connection with a business transfer (such as a merger or acquisition).

5. Household sharing

If you create or join a household, the shared pantry, shopping list, alerts, saved recipes, and price history are visible to and editable by all members of that household. Any member can add, edit, or remove shared items. The email addresses of household members are visible to other members of the same household.

If you join someone else's household, you will see their shared data, and your scans and edits will be shared with them. If you leave a household, you stop sharing that data going forward. Your personal settings and notification preferences are not shared with household members.

Do not join or invite people into a household unless you are comfortable sharing this information with them.

6. Data retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. When you delete your account, we delete your account and associated personal data. Some information may persist in backups or logs for a limited period, and we may retain information where required by law.

If you are a household member and delete your account while shared household data remains in use by other members, that shared data may remain available to the remaining members (as described in Section 5).

7. Your rights and choices

Access and export

You can export a copy of your data at any time from within the Service (Settings → Account → Export my data).

Deletion

You can permanently delete your account and associated personal data from within the Service (Settings → Account → Delete my account). This action is permanent and cannot be undone.

Notifications

You can disable push notifications at any time in your settings or through your browser/device controls.

Regional rights

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights:

  • If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK (GDPR/UK GDPR), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your data, and to object to certain processing.
  • If you are a California resident (CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell your personal information.

To exercise any rights not available through the in-app tools, contact us at support@bezra.app. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

8. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information. Passwords are stored as secure hashes, sensitive tokens (such as password reset and verification tokens) are stored only as hashes, and data is transmitted over encrypted (HTTPS) connections. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at support@bezra.app and we will take steps to delete it.

10. International users

We are based in the United States, and our infrastructure providers may store and process data in the United States and other locations. If you access the Service from outside these locations, you understand your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions that may have different data protection laws than your own.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
