Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Live Tayyib ("we," "us"), developed and operated by KabiqTech LLC, Chicago, United States, handles information when you use our website, mobile app, or related APIs (the "Service").
1. Intended audience
The Service is intended only for customers located in the United States. It is not directed to individuals outside the U.S. If you use the Service from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for any local legal requirements.
2. What the Service shows
Live Tayyib primarily displays publicly available food and risk data collected from third-party sources. We do not sell that data as personal information about you. Sources include:
- USDA FoodData Central — Branded Foods (primary product and ingredient text)
- IARC Monographs classifications (informational matching)
- California Proposition 65 / OEHHA cancer listings (informational matching)
- Open Food Facts (product photo URLs; and when USDA lacks a barcode, product name/ingredients via their official API under ODbL)
That product database content is not personal data about end users; it describes packaged goods published by those sources.
3. Information we may collect
Depending on how you use the Service, we may process:
- Account data — if you register: email address, password (stored as a one-way bcrypt hash — never recoverable as plaintext), email verification status, and profile fields you provide (age, gender, U.S. state, city). Profile fields are encrypted at rest with application-level encryption before they are written to the database.
- Usage data — search queries, UPCs looked up, product pages opened (including a guest free-lookup counter), approximate timestamps, and technical logs needed to operate and debug the Service.
- Device / technical data — IP address, browser or app type, operating system, and similar information automatically sent by your device.
- Voluntary contact — if you email or message us, the content of that correspondence.
Guests may search and open a limited number of products without an account. Categories, Guides, and unlimited product views require a verified account. We do not intentionally collect medical records.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
The website may use essential cookies or local storage required for basic functionality. We do not use the Service to run advertising trackers as a core feature. Third-party hosts (for example font CDNs or Open Food Facts image URLs) may set their own cookies or logs according to their policies when your browser requests those resources.
5. How we use information
We use technical and usage data to:
- Provide search and product lookup;
- Maintain security, uptime, and abuse prevention;
- Improve accuracy and performance of the Service.
We do not sell your personal information.
6. Sharing
We may share limited technical data with hosting, database, or infrastructure providers solely to run the Service. We may disclose information if required by law. Product photos are requested by your device directly from Open Food Facts (or their CDN); that request is subject to their privacy practices.
7. Data retention
Server logs and similar technical records are kept only as long as reasonably needed for operations, security, and troubleshooting, then deleted or anonymized. Account data is kept while your account remains active.
8. Account deletion
You may delete your Live Tayyib account and associated personal profile data yourself from the Account page while signed in (password and typing DELETE required). We email a confirmation. Product catalog data from USDA and other public sources is not personal data and is not deleted when an account is removed. You may register again later with the same email.
9. Children
The Service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
10. No liability for third-party data
Information about food products and risk classifications comes from third parties. We do not control those sources and take no legal liability for their accuracy, completeness, or for automated matches shown in the Service. See our Terms & Conditions for the full disclaimer.
11. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy by posting a new version on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
