Privacy policy

Last updated 20 August 2026

No legalese, no “trusted partners”. Everything below is what actually happens, and every control described here works the same way in the app’s Privacy Centre.

What we collect and why

Your meal photos

Analysed to estimate calories and macros. Nothing else.

Your food and weight logs

So your history, streaks and trends exist at all.

Your height, weight, age and activity

Used to calculate your daily targets.

Health data, only if you connect it

Steps and active energy adjust your target to how active you actually are.

Crash and usage events

Counts and screen names — never food content or health values.

What we never do

We never sell your data.

We never use your health data for advertising.

We never write your Health data to iCloud.

Photos rejected on-device are never uploaded.

If the on-device check says it isn't food, the image never leaves your phone.

Location is stripped before upload.

EXIF — including the GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken — is removed on-device, and photos are downscaled before they're sent.

Who processes your data

Anthropic

Receives: The meal photo and its analysis

Inputs and outputs are not used to train models by default.

Supabase

Receives: Account, logs, photos

Our database. Row-level security is enabled on every table.

RevenueCat

Receives: Purchase receipts, anonymised user id

Receives no health data.

PostHog

Receives: Product events

Event names and counts only — never food content or health values.

Sentry

Receives: Crash reports

Personal information is scrubbed from crash breadcrumbs.

Your controls (in the app's Privacy Centre)

Delete photos after analysis

Keeps the nutrition result, discards the image once it's been analysed.

Analytics & diagnostics

Anonymous usage and crash reporting. Turning this off doesn't limit any feature.

Personalised ads

Off unless you allow tracking. Reflects your iOS tracking choice.

Your rights

Get a copy of your data

Export everything we hold as a file you can keep — logs, weights and profile.

Correct anything wrong

Every logged item is editable, including our AI's estimate.

Delete your account and data

Permanent, and available from the app's Privacy Centre.

Where you live matters

UK/EU (UK GDPR & GDPR), California (CCPA/CPRA), India (DPDP Act) and Japan (APPI) each grant additional rights — all of the above apply to you regardless.
