Front photo (optional)
📢 Your photo will be public: anyone who scans this barcode can see it. Photograph only the front of the product, not people, faces, documents or anything personal. Location and camera data (EXIF/GPS) are removed on your phone before upload.
When you tap Check, the barcode , the name/brand above and the ingredient text are sent to the Let Me Scan That community database and shown publicly to anyone who scans this barcode. Nothing personal is sent: no account, location or scan history (history stays on this phone), and the label photo used for OCR stays on this phone. A Cloudflare Turnstile check runs to block spam.

About
Ingredient and product text in the bulk reference comes from the sources below. Community products that people submit in this app are a separate store. They are not part of these databases.
Open Food Facts, Open Beauty Facts, and Open Products Facts
Data from Open Food Facts (https://world.openfoodfacts.org), Open Beauty Facts (https://world.openbeautyfacts.org), and Open Products Facts (https://world.openproductsfacts.org), made available under the Open Database License v1.0 (https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1-0/). Individual contents of each database are available under the Database Contents License (https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/dbcl/1-0/). Product images are not used.

Share-alike
The bulk database is a derived database. It contains Open Database License data from Open Food Facts, Open Beauty Facts, and Open Products Facts, together with USDA CC0 rows and NIH public-domain rows. If that database, or a substantial extract of it, is publicly shared, it has to be offered under the Open Database License v1.0 with attribution to those Open Facts projects. A per-product lookup from the API is a Produced Work: it needs attribution (the source, the Open Database License, and a link) and is not itself a database that has to be relicensed. The community store is separate. It holds labels people submitted here. It is not part of the Open Facts databases and this share-alike note does not apply to it.
Product photos in this app
The bulk reference has no images. When a result card shows a product photo, the app loads it by barcode straight from Open Food Facts, Open Beauty Facts, or Open Products Facts (CC BY-SA) and credits it under the photo, or it is a photo a Let Me Scan That user shared.
