Ingredients. Elevated. Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 9, 2026

Ingredients. Elevated.™ is published by SEQUOYAH SYSTEMS — A Division of Sequoyah Institute for Technology LLC (“we”, “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use the Ingredients. Elevated. mobile application and related services.

Information We Collect

Depending on how you use Ingredients. Elevated., we may process:

Account information, such as your email address and authentication data.
App activity, such as product searches, barcode scans, saved products, watchlist items, Ingredient Shield rules, alerts, and saved recipes.
Subscription information, such as whether Ingredients. Elevated. Gold is active, the subscription product, purchase and renewal dates, and store transaction identifiers. See “Subscriptions and Purchases” below.
Device information needed to operate app features, including notification-related device tokens when notifications are enabled.
Camera access when you choose to scan a barcode. The camera is used only for scanning; we do not store camera images.
Approximate location, only when you choose “Use My Location” in the Local tab. Your device’s approximate (not precise) location is transmitted only as needed to return nearby grocery stores, farms, and markets, and may be processed by Ingredients. Elevated.’s backend and by OpenStreetMap. It is not saved to your account. City or ZIP code search remains available without using device location.
Technical information needed to maintain security, diagnose errors, and operate the service.

Ingredients. Elevated. does not include third-party advertising or analytics SDKs, and we do not use your information for targeted advertising.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

provide and maintain Ingredients. Elevated.;
authenticate users and protect accounts;
perform product searches and barcode lookups;
find nearby grocery stores, farms, and markets when you choose to;
save favorites, watchlist items, Ingredient Shield preferences, alerts, and other user-selected settings;
provide Ingredients. Elevated. Gold features to subscribers and restore purchases;
send account emails, such as sign-up confirmation and password reset messages;
improve reliability, security, and performance;

Subscriptions and Purchases

Ingredients. Elevated. Gold is an optional auto-renewing subscription. Purchases are processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) under their terms. We do not receive or store your payment card details.

We use RevenueCat to manage subscriptions. RevenueCat receives your Ingredients. Elevated. account identifier and the purchase information provided by Apple or Google, such as the product, transaction identifiers, purchase and expiration dates, and store country, so that it can confirm your subscription status across devices.

You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your App Store or Google Play account settings, or from the Account menu in Ingredients. Elevated. (“Manage subscription”). Deleting your Ingredients. Elevated. account does not cancel an active subscription; please cancel it with Apple or Google. Refund requests are handled by Apple or Google under their policies.

Product and Ingredient Information

Ingredients. Elevated. provides informational content about products, ingredients, potential concerns, alternatives, and related topics. Some product label data comes from USDA FoodData Central and is shown as reported by that source, without independent review by Ingredients. Elevated. The app is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Service Providers

We use the following service providers to operate Ingredients. Elevated. They process information only as needed to provide their services:

Supabase: database, authentication, and app data hosting.
RevenueCat: subscription management.
Resend: delivery of account emails (confirmation and password reset).
Apple and Google: app distribution and purchase processing.
OpenStreetMap (Nominatim): processes your approximate location, or a city or ZIP code you type, to return nearby places for Local search. Place listings are based on OpenStreetMap data (© OpenStreetMap contributors).
Apple Maps or Google Maps: opened only when you tap Directions or Open in Maps.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with the service providers listed above, when required by law, or when necessary to protect users, the service, or legal rights.

Data Retention

We retain information for as long as your account is active or as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain security, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Deleted data is removed from routine database backups as those backups expire, typically within about 7 days.

Account Deletion

You can delete your account in two ways:

In the app: open the Account menu and choose Delete account, then confirm.
On the web: follow the steps at sequoyahinstitutefortechnology.com/ingredients-elevated/delete-account.

Deleting your account permanently removes your sign-in identity, profile, favorites, watchlist items, Ingredient Shield rules, alerts, scan history, saved recipes, and notification device tokens. On request we also ask RevenueCat to delete its subscription record for your account. Apple and Google keep their own purchase records under their policies. Some information may be retained where required by law or for legitimate security, fraud-prevention, or recordkeeping purposes.

Your Choices and Rights

You may choose not to provide certain information, although some features may then be unavailable. You can manage preferences in the app and delete your account at any time. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, contact us using the details below.

Children’s Privacy

Ingredients. Elevated. is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No electronic system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as Ingredients. Elevated. evolves. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date and may provide additional notice where appropriate.
