Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 21, 2026
Taylor Detector is a free tool that helps you check whether a product's brand is associated with Taylor Farms. This page explains what data the app collects and how it's used.
What we collect
Camera access. When you scan a barcode, the app uses your device's camera to read it. Video from your camera is processed entirely on your device to detect the barcode — it is never recorded, stored, or transmitted to us or anyone else.
Barcode numbers. When a barcode is successfully scanned, the number is sent to Open Food Facts, a third-party public product database, to look up the product's brand name. We do not attach any personal information to this request. Open Food Facts' own privacy practices govern how they handle that request: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/privacy
Basic analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand general usage of the app — things like which pages are visited and how often. This may include standard technical data such as device type, approximate location (city/region level, derived from IP address), and browser information. Google's privacy policy applies to this data: https://policies.google.com/privacy
What we don't collect
Taylor Detector has no user accounts, no login, and no payment processing. We do not collect your name, email address, or any other personal identifier. We do not sell or share data with advertisers.
Brand reference data
The list of Taylor Farms brands and subsidiaries used to check your scans is static reference data we maintain — it is not connected to you or your scan history in any way.
Data retention
We do not retain a history of what you've scanned. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' standard retention settings.
Children's privacy
Taylor Detector is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the effective date above will be updated. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the revised policy.
Disclaimer
Taylor Detector is an independent, unofficial tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Taylor Farms in any way. Brand match results are provided for informational purposes only and should not be treated as a guarantee — see the confidence label shown with each result.
