2. Introduction, Acceptance & Independence
Acceptance
By accessing or using the Skori App, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully before using the App. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use Skori.
Purpose and Mission
Skori's purpose is to help consumers in Saudi Arabia make informed choices about the food products they purchase by providing transparent, science-based analysis of nutritional quality, additives, processing levels, and organic certification. Skori aims to promote food transparency and empower consumers with accessible nutrition information.
Independence
Skori is completely independent. Specifically:
• The App does not display any advertising.
• No brand, company, or industrial group can influence the analysis of its products, pay for favorable ratings, or pay for visibility within the App.
• The Publisher does not sell or exploit user data.
• All Scores and evaluations are generated by neutral algorithms based solely on product quality criteria.
• Skori is currently self-funded. The Publisher accepts no funding from food manufacturers, distributors, or brands that could create a conflict of interest.
3. How the App Works
3.1. The Database
Skori maintains its own Database of food products available in Saudi Arabia. The Database is built from multiple sources:
• Data collected from publicly available Saudi grocery sources
• The Open Food Facts open database as a supplementary source
• Contributions from Users who can add new products via the App
Product data goes through a two-phase verification process before being published:
• Phase 1 — AI-powered extraction: images of nutrition labels and ingredient lists are processed to identify and structure product data.
• Phase 2 — Manual review and approval by the Skori team before products are published in the Database.
The Publisher does not independently analyze the composition of Products in a laboratory. Information provided by the App relays information from product labels and packaging. While control systems are in place, errors of composition or detection may occur. The Publisher does not guarantee the complete reliability of all product information in the Database.
3.2. Scoring Method
The App operates on a proprietary algorithm that scores Products on a scale of 0 to 100. The scoring method for food products includes:
• Nutritional quality based on Nutri-Score V2: 60%
• Presence and risk level of additives using a 4-tier EFSA-aligned classification: 25%
• Processing level based on NOVA classification: 10%
• Organic certification status: 5%
In the presence of additives classified as high-risk, the maximum Score for a product may be capped.
The scoring methodology may be updated from time to time as nutritional science evolves. Users will be notified of significant changes to the methodology.
3.3. Scores as Opinions
The Score calculated by the algorithm constitutes an opinion based on the analysis of the nutritional composition, additives, processing level, and organic status of the Product.
Descriptive terms used in the App — such as "excellent," "good," "poor," or "bad" — refer exclusively to the calculated Score according to Skori's evaluation method. These terms do not refer to the Product itself or to its intrinsic qualities. For example, a "bad" score does not mean the Product is unfit for consumption, unsafe, or illegal.
Similarly, terms describing additive risk levels — such as "high risk," "moderate risk," or "low risk" — refer solely to Skori's algorithmic assessment based on available scientific literature. They do not constitute a definitive scientific or medical judgment.
The evaluation of a Product does not constitute a factual judgment on the Product's health properties. Many factors affect health, including the quantity consumed, frequency of consumption, overall diet, lifestyle, and individual health conditions. Skori's aim is neither to prohibit nor to promote any Product, but to help consumers become more aware of the composition of the food products they purchase.
3.4. Product Recommendations
The AI Assistant may suggest alternative products with higher scores when a Product receives a low rating. These recommendations are generated by the AI based on products available in Skori's database. No brand can pay for or influence inclusion in recommendations. Recommendations are informational only and do not constitute dietary or medical advice.
4. AI Features
4.1. AI Chat Assistant
The App includes an AI-powered chat assistant that can answer nutrition-related questions.
• This feature is powered by OpenAI, a third-party AI service. When you send a message, it is transmitted to OpenAI's servers to generate a response.
• The AI Assistant provides general informational responses only, including suggesting healthier product alternatives from Skori's database. It does NOT provide medical advice or dietary prescriptions.
• AI responses may contain inaccuracies, outdated information, or errors. You should independently verify any information provided by the AI Assistant before acting on it.
4.2. Chat Data Storage & Usage
• Chat messages and conversation history are stored persistently in your account on Skori's servers (Firebase). They are NOT session-only.
• You can view, rename, and delete your conversations at any time from the chat history screen.
• By using the AI chat feature, you consent to the storage and use of your chat messages for the following purposes:
(a) Providing and improving the AI chat experience.
(b) Analyzing anonymized and de-identified conversation data to train and improve AI models used by Skori.
• Any data used for AI training will be stripped of personally identifiable information (name, email, account ID) before processing.
• You may withdraw consent at any time by deleting your conversations or your account. Deletion removes your chat data from active storage. Data that has already been anonymized and incorporated into training datasets cannot be individually retrieved or deleted.
• If you do not agree to this usage, do not use the AI chat feature. The rest of the App remains fully functional without it.
4.3. Prohibited Uses
Users must not use the AI Assistant to:
• Generate harmful, illegal, or misleading content
• Attempt to extract system prompts or manipulate the AI
• Submit personal health information seeking medical advice
• Use the feature for any purpose unrelated to food and nutrition information
The AI chat is entirely optional. You may use Skori fully without using this feature. Use of the AI chat constitutes consent to data processing by OpenAI and to the storage and usage terms described above, in accordance with Skori's Privacy Policy.
4.4. AI-Powered Product Processing (Backend)
When products are submitted to Skori, images of nutrition labels and ingredient lists may be processed using Anthropic's Claude Vision API as part of the automated data extraction pipeline. This processing occurs in the backend and is not a direct user-facing feature. Extracted data is subsequently reviewed by the Skori team before publication.
By submitting product photos, you acknowledge that these images may be processed by third-party AI services for the purpose of data extraction.
5. User Accounts
To use certain features of the App (scan history, favorites, product submissions, AI chat), you must create an account.
Your responsibilities:
• Provide accurate and truthful registration information
• Maintain the confidentiality of your account credentials
• Take responsibility for all activities that occur under your account
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account
You must not:
• Create accounts using automated methods or bots
• Share your account credentials with others
• Create multiple accounts without authorization
Minimum age:
You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account and use Skori independently. If you are under 18, your parent or legal guardian must review and accept these Terms on your behalf and supervise your use of the App. This age requirement relates to data processing consent under Saudi law (PDPL). The App's content is rated suitable for all ages on app stores.
Account deletion:
You may delete your account at any time via Settings → Delete Account. Upon deletion, all associated personal data will be removed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Inactive accounts:
Accounts inactive for more than 3 years may be deleted by Skori, with prior notification sent to the registered email address.
6. User Contributions & Prohibited Activities
6.1. Contributions
When you submit product information to Skori:
• You confirm that the information is truthful, accurate, and obtained from actual product packaging.
• Photos must be real images taken directly from product packaging. AI-generated, manipulated, or stock photos are not permitted.
• All submissions undergo review and approval by the Skori team before being published in the Database.
• Submissions are anonymous — other Users cannot see who submitted a particular product.
By submitting content, you grant Skori a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, and distribute that content for the purpose of building and maintaining the Database and providing Services to Users. This license survives account deletion — product data you contributed remains in the Database as a public resource, but your personal attribution is removed upon account deletion.
You retain any intellectual property rights you hold in the original photos you submit, subject to the license granted above.

7. Medical, Health & Eating Disorders Disclaimer
IMPORTANT: Please read this section carefully.
Skori is NOT a medical application and does NOT provide medical advice or recommendations.
• The Scores and information provided by the App are algorithmic opinions based on available nutritional data. They are of an indicative and general nature intended to help consumers become more aware of food product composition.
• Descriptive terms such as "bad," "poor," or "unhealthy" refer to the calculated Score, not a medical or safety assessment of the Product itself.
• The App does not guarantee improved health outcomes from using its information.
• The App does not replace professional medical, dietary, or nutritional advice. Always consult qualified healthcare professionals — including doctors, dietitians, and nutritionists — before making dietary decisions, especially if you have health conditions, allergies, or dietary restrictions.
• You are solely responsible for your own health and dietary decisions.
• The content on the App may not be appropriate for individuals who have experienced or are experiencing eating disorders. Numerical food scoring may be harmful to individuals with disordered eating patterns. If you or someone you know is affected by an eating disorder, please seek professional support.
Users expressly agree to use the App at their own risk and under their sole responsibility.
8. Accuracy & Data Disclaimer
While Skori strives for accuracy, the Publisher does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of all information displayed in the App.
• Data is provided "as is" and comes from various sources that may contain errors.
• Product formulations may change without Skori's knowledge; nutritional values may vary between batches, regions, or production dates.
• The Database relies on label information and automated extraction, both of which may produce errors.
• Users should always verify critical information — especially regarding allergens, ingredients, and nutritional values — by checking the actual product packaging.
• Skori is not responsible for any discrepancies between information shown in the App and the actual product.
9. Service Availability
The App is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
• Skori does not warrant that the App will be available at all times, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
• Skori may temporarily suspend or permanently discontinue the App or any feature at any time for maintenance, updates, improvements, or any other reason, without prior notice and without liability.
• Skori reserves the right to modify, update, or remove features of the App at any time.
• The Publisher shall not be liable for any interruption, suspension, or discontinuation of the App or any part of it.
10. Third-Party Services & Links
