You can disable location services at any time through your device settings.
1.4 Photos and Media
When you use the photo recognition feature, the App may access your device's camera and photo library to capture or select images of your meals. These images are processed locally on your device to recognize food items and are not stored on our servers unless you choose to save them as part of your food logs. You can revoke access to your camera and photo library at any time through your device settings.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
2.1 To Provide and Improve the App
We use your information to operate, maintain, and enhance the App's features and functionality. This includes personalizing your experience, calculating your daily calorie goals, providing nutrition insights, and improving the accuracy of food recognition and database entries.
2.2 To Personalize Your Experience
We use your personal information (e.g., age, gender, weight, activity level) to tailor the App to your individual needs, such as setting personalized calorie targets, recommending suitable foods, and providing customized health insights based on your goals.
2.3 To Process and Store Your Food Logs

2.6 To Ensure Security and Prevent Fraud
We use your information to monitor and prevent fraudulent activity, protect the security of the App, and ensure compliance with our terms of service.
2.7 For Research and Development
We may use anonymized and aggregated data to conduct research and development, improve our food recognition algorithms, expand our food database, and develop new features that enhance user experience. Anonymized data is stripped of all personally identifiable information and cannot be linked back to you.
3. How We Store and Protect Your Information
We take the security of your information seriously and implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
3.1 Storage of Information
Your personal information and food logs are stored on secure servers hosted by third-party cloud service providers. These servers are located in data centers with industry-standard security measures, including physical access controls, firewalls, and encryption. Local data (such as cached food entries) may also be stored on your device to improve App performance and offline functionality.
3.2 Data Encryption
We use encryption to protect data transmission between your device and our servers (via HTTPS) and to encrypt sensitive information stored on our servers. Your password (if you create an account) is hashed using strong cryptographic algorithms, meaning we do not store your password in plain text.
3.3 Retention of Information
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the App's services. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal information within a reasonable time, except for data we are required to retain by law or for legitimate business purposes (such as resolving disputes, enforcing our terms, or preventing fraud). Anonymized and aggregated data may be retained indefinitely for research and development purposes.
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:
4.1 Service Providers
We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as cloud storage providers, data analytics services, and customer support platforms. These service providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only to provide the services we have requested.
4.2 Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency). We may also disclose your information to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, or that of others, or to prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the App.
4.3 Anonymized and Aggregated Data
We may share anonymized and aggregated data with third parties for research, marketing, or other purposes. Anonymized and aggregated data does not contain any personally identifiable information and cannot be used to identify you.
