VeroEats Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

VeroEats is designed so that we cannot see what you shop for.

What VeroEats collects

Nothing. VeroEats has no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, and no servers of its own. We do not collect, store, transmit, or sell any personal data, browsing history, or shopping activity.

What happens on your device

  • Product analysis runs entirely in your browser. Ingredient lists and
    • nutrition data are read from the product page you are viewing and scored locally.
  • Your allergen preferences are stored in Chrome's extension storage
    • (synced by Chrome across your own browsers if you use Chrome sync). They never leave your Chrome profile otherwise.
  • Cached results are stored locally in extension storage and expire
    • automatically.

    The one outside request VeroEats makes

    When a product page doesn't provide complete nutrition or ingredient data, VeroEats asks Open Food Facts (world.openfoodfacts.org / us.openfoodfacts.org), a nonprofit open food database, for the product's label data. The request contains only the product's barcode and/or its name — never who you are, never your full browsing activity. Open Food Facts' privacy policy: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/privacy

    That is the complete list of network destinations. VeroEats talks to the retail page you are already on, and to Open Food Facts. Nothing else.

    Permissions, explained

  • Retail site access (amazon.com, walmart.com, target.com, …): required to
    • read the ingredient list and nutrition facts of the product page you're viewing, and to display the score panel on it.
  • Optional "any site" access: only granted when YOU click "Enable on this
    • site" for a store we don't cover by default. You can revoke it the same way.
  • Storage: saves your allergen selections and the local results cache.
  • Scripting / activeTab: used solely to run the analysis on stores you
    • explicitly enable from the popup.

    Health information

    VeroEats' scores, flags, and supplement notes are informational only and are not medical advice. VeroEats does not collect any health information about you — the allergen list you may configure stays in your Chrome storage.

    Changes

    If this policy ever changes, the extension's listing and this document will be updated before the change takes effect. Questions: kdsmilon@gmail.com.
