Plainr

Terms of Use

Last updated: 23 October 2026

1. What Plainr is

Plainr helps you see how processed a food product is. You can scan a barcode or photograph an ingredient label, and the app shows a processing score, highlights ingredients worth knowing about, and suggests simpler alternatives. You can also keep a food diary, log water and weight, and follow your streak, daily quests, badges and weekly league.

2. Not medical advice

Plainr provides general information about food processing and ingredients. It is not a medical device, does not diagnose or treat any condition, and is not a substitute for advice from a doctor, dietitian or other qualified professional. Calorie and protein targets shown in the app are a starting point calculated from the figures you enter, not a recommendation about what you should eat. Speak to a qualified professional before changing your diet, especially if you have an allergy, a medical condition, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

3. Accuracy of information

Product information comes from public databases (Open Food Facts and USDA FoodData Central), from products added by Plainr users, from text read automatically from photos, and from automated translation and classification. It can be incomplete, out of date or wrong.

Some product data comes from Open Food Facts, a community-edited database, and some products are added by Plainr users from label photos. This data isn’t independently verified and may contain errors.

The Plainr score is generated by an AI model (Google Gemini) from the product’s ingredient list, using criteria defined by Plainr, and may be capped using the NOVA group from Open Food Facts. It’s an automated estimate, not a nutritional or medical assessment, and can be wrong. Where we could not confirm the ingredient list, the app says so next to the score.

Meal estimates made from a photo are approximate and are labelled as estimates. Always check the product's own packaging when it matters, for example for an allergy.

4. Who can use Plainr

You must be at least 18 years old to use Plainr. The app asks for your date of birth during sign-up and does not let anyone younger continue. By creating an account, you confirm that you are 18 or older.

5. Your account

  • You can create an account with an email address and password, or with your Google account.
  • Please give accurate information and keep your login details secure.
  • You can delete your account at any time in Settings > Delete Account. Deletion takes effect immediately and cannot be undone.
  • Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription. Cancel it in Google Play first (section 6), or it keeps renewing.

6. Subscription

Using Plainr requires a paid subscription. After you create your account, the app shows the available plans. Before you pay, the subscription screen shows the price, the billing period and any free trial, as Google Play sets them in your currency.

  • Payment. Subscriptions are bought through Google Play and charged to your Google Play account. Google Play's terms apply to the payment. We never see or store your card details.
  • Renewal. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period, at the price shown, until you cancel. You can cancel at any time in Google Play (Play Store > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions). You keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.
  • Free trial. If a plan includes a free trial, you are charged when the trial ends unless you cancel before then. The length of the trial is shown before you start it.
  • Price changes. If the price of your plan changes, Google Play tells you before the new price applies.
  • Refunds. Refunds are handled by Google Play under its refund policy. This does not affect any rights you have under consumer law.
  • Right of withdrawal (consumers in the European Union). Under EU consumer law you normally have 14 days to withdraw from a contract made at a distance. Plainr is a digital service that is available to you as soon as you subscribe. By starting a subscription, you ask us to give you access immediately, and you acknowledge that once the service has been fully provided you lose your right of withdrawal. If you withdraw within the 14 days, before the service has been fully provided, you must pay us a proportionate amount for what you have already used. Starting a free trial does not by itself end the withdrawal period; the acknowledgement above applies when the trial turns into a paid subscription.
  • Restoring a purchase. If you sign in on a new device, use Restore purchases on the subscription screen or in Settings. A subscription belongs to the Plainr account it was bought with.
  • Deleting your account does not cancel your subscription; cancel it in Google Play.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • reverse-engineer or decompile the app, or try to extract its source code or credentials;
  • use the app for anything unlawful;
  • try to disrupt, overload or gain unauthorised access to our systems;
  • misuse the streak, XP, quest, badge or league features, for example through automated or fraudulent activity.

8. Intellectual property and data licences

The app's design, branding and original content belong to us. Product and ingredient data from third-party sources remains subject to those sources' own licences.

Open Food Facts data is made available under the Open Database License (ODbL) v1.0 (https://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1-0/). USDA FoodData Central is a public dataset published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Both are credited in the app under Settings > Data sources.

9. Availability and changes to the app

We may change, suspend or stop any part of the app, including during the test period. We will try to give notice of significant changes in the app.

10. Disclaimer

To the extent permitted by law, the app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have as a consumer that cannot be limited by contract.

11. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the app, including decisions made on the basis of incomplete or inaccurate product information. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

12. Ending your use

You can stop using Plainr and delete your account at any time. Cancel your subscription in Google Play as well; deleting the account does not cancel it. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows when they last changed. If we make a significant change, the app will ask you to review and accept the new terms before you continue.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Poland. If you use the app as a consumer living in the European Union, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country.

15. About these terms and contact
