Terms and Conditions

Effective date: May 1, 2025

These terms govern the use of Ingredeen, a mobile app that helps users review food ingredient lists through OCR and AI-assisted halal-aware analysis. By using the app, you agree to these terms.

1. Product purpose

Ingredeen is designed as a reference tool. It helps users identify ingredients that may require attention under Islamic dietary considerations, but it does not provide official halal certification or formal religious rulings.

2. Important disclaimer

  • Ingredient assessments are generated for informational guidance only.
  • Results should not be treated as official certification, legal advice, or a definitive scholarly ruling.
  • The app comments on ingredients, not on the overall manufacturing chain or final product certification status.
  • You remain responsible for any decisions made based on app output.

3. Ingredient analysis approach

The app may use general logic such as the following when generating guidance:

  • Meat-related ingredients may be treated with caution unless halal-compliant sourcing is clearly stated.
  • Common non-meat items may be treated as halal by default unless a specific concern is identified.
  • Ingredients with uncertain sourcing or process-dependent status may be marked as unclear rather than overclassified.

4. Data and service operation

By using Ingredeen, you understand that photos, OCR text, analysis outputs, and basic technical data may be processed to operate the app, improve quality, and support users. More detail is available in the Privacy Policy.

5. Advertising and monetization

The app may display advertising or sponsored placements. These help support ongoing maintenance and product development. Advertising content may be delivered by third-party providers.

6. Brand and product affiliation

Ingredeen is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of food brands, manufacturers, or halal certifying bodies unless explicitly stated otherwise.

7. Updates to the terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Your continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised version.
