Terms of Use

Barrier Code helps you understand a cosmetic ingredient list and plan your personal skin care. The app’s assessments – verdicts, bars, the “Benefits” section, routine compatibility notes and ingredient explanations – are provided for informational purposes only. They are based on the scanned ingredient list and the known properties of the ingredients, not on a clinical study of the effect of the specific finished product.

The app does not provide medical advice, diagnoses or treatment plans. If you have a skin disease or persistent irritation, see a dermatologist. When you use cosmetics, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

The accuracy of the analysis also depends on the scanned text. Before you start the analysis, check that the whole ingredient list has been scanned correctly.

• The app automatically creates an anonymous account. You do not need to give a name or an e-mail address to start using it.
• The journal, the Shelf, the analysis history and their photos are stored on the phone, except information that you yourself submit for a public review. If you delete the app or change phones without making a copy of your data, it may not be possible to restore the local data.
• You can create a copy of your data: “Settings” → “Export data”. Before you move to another phone, check that the export succeeded and what the saved file includes.
• You will find the account deletion function under “Settings” → “Delete account”. Deletion is irreversible.

Detailed information on data storage, the scope of deletion and possible exceptions is provided in the Privacy Policy.

Barrier Code has a free version with certain limits and a paid PRO subscription. Monthly and annual subscription plans are available. The final price and the subscription terms are shown before you confirm the purchase.

• Payments. Where in-app subscriptions are available on your device, it is administered by the relevant app store. The RevenueCat service is used to check the subscription status. Barrier Code does not receive payment card data.
• Automatic renewal. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it in accordance with the rules set by the store.
• Cancellation. You cancel the subscription in the account settings of the store through which you bought it. PRO features generally remain available until the end of your current paid billing period.
• Refunds. Refund requests are made through the store where the subscription was bought, in accordance with its rules and applicable law.
• When the subscription ends. Access to the PRO features ends, but your data is not deleted merely because the subscription has ended.

In the free version, the number of scans per month and the scope of some features are limited. You will find the current limits in the app and on the website page “Features”, section “Free and PRO”.

• Share your own experience. Write a review only about a cosmetic product that you have used yourself.
• What not to post. It is prohibited to post other people’s personal data, your own contact details, advertising, links, or offensive, misleading or unlawful content. The photo must show only the product packaging, without people.
• Moderation. We review submitted reviews before publication. We may decline to publish them or remove them if they break the rules. You can report an inappropriate review in “Experiences”.
• Other users’ opinions. Reviews reflect their authors’ experience, not Barrier Code’s recommendations. They do not replace the ingredient list analysis and are not medical advice.
• Permission to publish. By submitting a review, you grant PROSKYNA, UAB a free-of-charge, non-exclusive right to show the review text and photo you submitted in “Experiences” for as long as the review is published. You can edit or delete it.

A review may be published together with your skin profile information. How this data is processed and made public is explained in the Privacy Policy.

You may not misuse the app or its services, send automated requests, or attempt to unlawfully obtain or reconstruct the ingredient database, its structure or the assessment algorithms. This provision does not apply to actions that mandatory law expressly permits.

The app’s code, design, assessment algorithms, database and its structure are the intellectual property of PROSKYNA, UAB or of the respective rights holders and are protected by applicable law. Using the app does not give you any ownership rights to this content.

We make every effort to ensure that the app works reliably and that the ingredient information is accurate and up to date. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee that the analysis will always be complete or free of errors. The cloud recognition feature requires an internet connection; the service may be temporarily unavailable.

You make decisions about using cosmetics taking into account your own circumstances and the manufacturer’s instructions. Our liability is limited only to the extent permitted by applicable law. These terms do not limit the consumer rights granted to you by law and do not affect rights that cannot legally be waived.

These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Lithuania, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer protection rules that may apply in your country of residence.

If you have a question or a dispute arises, please write to us first: info@skinbarrierapp.com. We will try to find a solution. If that is not possible, you can contact the State Consumer Rights Protection Authority (vvtat.lt) or a competent court. This provision does not limit other dispute resolution methods provided for by law.

When we update these terms, we will change the date shown at the top. We will notify you of material changes in the app. Where the law requires it, we will ask for your separate consent.
