“hosts your account, scan history, saved products, ratings, and photos (Postgres and object storage, in the United States).”
“product analytics, error tracking, and session replay. It receives usage events (screens viewed, scans completed, searches run, paywall interactions, subscription started), crash reports including the error message and stack trace, your onboarding answers as profile attributes, and your account identifier, so we can debug real sessions.”
“runs the paywall, takes you through checkout, and tells the app whether your subscription is active. We send it your account identifier; it handles the purchase itself and so holds the product you bought, its price and currency, and the store transaction identifier, which it reports back to the app.”
“handle billing, renewals, cancellations, and refunds for Tallow Premium. Your payment details go to them, never to us.”
“measures which ads bring in subscribers. The app itself sends Meta no purchase event; the Meta SDK logs app installs and app opens, and Meta derives purchases server-side from App Store data rather than from anything the app sends. Meta receives your device advertising identifier along with those events.”
“measures which ads bring in subscribers, the same job Meta does. When you start a free trial the app sends TikTok a “subscribe” event, and when you take out a paid subscription it sends a “complete payment” event; either way the event carries the price, the currency, the store product identifier, and the store transaction (order) identifier.”
“used to research products we do not already have data for, to read the photos you take when you contribute a product we are missing, and to moderate restaurant reviews and evidence photos before they go public.”
“Requests go to OpenAI first and to Google only if OpenAI fails.”
“the public product database we look products up in. Their data is re-published under their ODbL terms. When you contribute a product we do not have yet, the front-of-pack and ingredients-label photos you take are forwarded to Open Food Facts so the barcode gets covered for everyone.”
“supplies the underlying restaurant place data and photos on the map. Place data is loaded into our own database in bulk ahead of time, and photo requests are made by our servers using only the place’s identifier — Foursquare receives nothing about you, including your location.”
