Privacy Policy
Last updated: 5 May 2026
1. Introduction
Viggan is a food product decision-support web application operated by ArchiusComus. This Privacy Policy explains what information Viggan processes when you use the website and application.
Viggan is designed to work primarily in your browser. We do not sell personal data.
2. Information You Provide
You may enter profile and nutrition information such as age, height, weight, activity level, goal, meal entries, product amounts and manually corrected nutrition values. In the current PWA, this information is stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB.
Local browser data remains on your device unless you clear browser storage or choose to share information outside the application.
3. Camera, Barcode and OCR Data
EAN barcode scanning runs locally in the browser. The camera stream is used for scanning and is stopped when scanning ends.
When a barcode is detected, Viggan sends the barcode to Open Food Facts to fetch product data. When you choose cloud OCR, the selected product label image is sent to Viggan's AWS OCR endpoint for text recognition.
4. Third-Party Services
Viggan may use these third-party services:
- Amazon Web Services for hosting, CloudFront delivery and optional OCR processing.
- Open Food Facts for product and nutrition data fetched by barcode.
5. Product Data License Notice
Product data from Open Food Facts is provided by Open Food Facts contributors and is made available under the Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0. Product information can be incomplete or inaccurate and should be checked against the product label.
6. Health Disclaimer
Viggan does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment or professional nutrition advice. The application provides general decision support based on nutrition labels and user-provided goals.
