Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 6, 2025

Clevique ("we," "our," or "us") respects the privacy of users of the BarNoR application (the "App") and is committed to protecting personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used, and how it is protected.

1. Information We Collect

The App collects and uses the following information. Your personal information and book-collection contents are stored only on your device or in your own Notion workspace, and we do not retain any personal information. Note that, to retrieve book cover images, ISBN codes are relayed via a book-cover server (a Cloudflare Worker) operated by Clevique; no personal information or book-collection contents are stored on that server (see §3 for details).

1.1 Information You Provide

  • Notion Integration Token
    • Purpose: To connect with Notion API, optionally provided by you
    • Storage: On-device (encrypted MMKV storage)
    • Third-party sharing: None
  • Notion Database Configuration
    • Purpose: Identification information for the Notion database where scanned data is saved
    • Storage: On-device (encrypted MMKV storage)
    • Third-party sharing: None

1.2 Information Automatically Collected

  • Scan History
    • Purpose: Display history of scanned barcodes and book information
    • Storage: On-device (encrypted MMKV storage)
    • Third-party sharing: None

  • Personally identifiable information (name, email, phone number, etc.)
  • Location data
  • Contacts
  • Photos/videos (camera used for barcode scanning only)
  • Device ID / Advertising ID
  • Usage analytics data

2. How We Use Information

Collected information is used only for the following purposes:

  1. Notion API Integration

    • Save scanned book/product information to your Notion database
  2. App Functionality
    • Execute barcode scanning
    • Display scan history

3. Third-Party Service Integration

The App integrates with the following third-party services to provide functionality:

3.1 Notion Labs, Inc.

Access to Notion API uses the Integration Token you explicitly provide. No data is sent without your permission.

  • Provider: Calil Inc. (OpenBD) (api.openbd.jp)
  • Purpose: Retrieve book information from ISBN codes

  • Retention: This server only relays ISBN→cover lookups and does not store any personal information or book-collection contents. Request identifiers (UUID, timestamp, etc.) may be temporarily recorded as technical access logs, but are not used to track or identify users.

3.4 OpenLibrary / OpenFoodFacts (Cover Image Fallback)

  • Provider: Internet Archive (Open Library), Open Food Facts
  • Purpose: Fallback source for cover images when a cover cannot be obtained above
  • Data Sent: ISBN code (barcode number) only

4. Data Storage and Protection

4.1 Local Storage

Personal information and book-collection contents are stored only on your device or in your own Notion workspace, and we do not retain any personal information.
