Privacy Policy

Effective 2026-07-04 · Ethos is operated by Opsibyte

The short version

Your values stay on your phone. Ethos does not have accounts, does not know who you are, and does not sell data. The brand records you read are the same for everyone; what you choose to care about never leaves your device.

What stays on your device

• Your value weights and directions — stored only in the app's local storage. They are never transmitted to us or anyone else.
• Your trial and usage counters — the app tracks locally when you first opened it and how many lookups you have used this month.

What reaches our servers

• Brand lookups — when you search a brand or scan a barcode, the brand name or barcode number is sent to our servers to retrieve or create the brand's public record. These requests are not linked to an account or advertising identifier.
• Waitlist and contact email addresses — only if you submit one on our website, used solely to contact you about Ethos.

What we don't do

• No advertising SDKs, no data brokers, no sale or sharing of personal information.
• No account, login, or profile. We cannot connect your lookups to you.
• No collection of your contacts, photos, or precise location. The camera is used only to read product barcodes, on-device; images are not stored or uploaded.

Crash reporting

If enabled in a future update, anonymous crash diagnostics (device model, OS version, stack trace) may be collected via Sentry to fix defects. Crash reports contain no lookup history and no personal identifiers.

Service providers

Our backend runs on Supabase (database and functions, hosted in the EU and US) and our website is hosted on our own infrastructure. Automated brand research uses the Anthropic API; requests contain brand names only.

Your choices

• Delete the app to remove all on-device data (weights, counters).
• Email us to remove a waitlist address.
• Corrections to brand records: corrections@opsibyte.com.
