This policy describes how Eatalyze (“the app,” “we,” “our”) handles information when you use it.
Information We Collect
Profile information you provide: When you set up Eatalyze, you may enter your name, age, gender, height, weight, ethnicity, dietary restrictions, health goals, and health conditions. This information is used solely to personalize the nutrient targets, meal suggestions, and AI responses you receive within the app.
Food and nutrition data you log: Foods, nutrients, and diary entries you add or scan (via barcode or photo) are stored so the app can track your nutrition over time.
How Your Data Is Stored
All of the data described above — your profile, food diary, and nutrient history — is stored locally on your device in a private database. We do not operate a server or cloud database of our own, and we do not have access to this data ourselves.
Third-Party Services
Eatalyze uses the following third-party services to provide its features:
- Google Gemini API: To generate personalized nutrition information, meal advice, and answer your questions, the app sends relevant data to Google’s Gemini API. This may include food or nutrient names you’re asking about, and profile details (such as age, gender, health conditions, restrictions, and goals) needed to personalize the response. This data is transmitted directly from your device to Google’s API using your own API key (see below) and is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy.
- Open Food Facts: When you scan a barcode, the barcode number is sent to the Open Food Facts database (openfoodfacts.org) to look up product information. No other data is sent as part of this lookup.
Your API Key
Eatalyze requires you to provide your own Google Gemini API key to use its AI features. This key is stored securely on your device and is used only to authenticate the app’s requests to Google’s API on your behalf. We never see or have access to your API key.
What We Don’t Do
- We do not sell your data to anyone.
- We do not show ads or use advertising SDKs.
- We do not use analytics or tracking services.
- We do not collect or transmit your data to any server we operate.
Sending Feedback or Crash Reports
If you choose to send feedback or a crash report from within the app, this opens your device’s own email app with a pre-filled message. Sending it is entirely optional and under your control — nothing is sent automatically.
Deleting Your Data
Because all data is stored locally on your device, uninstalling the app permanently deletes your profile, food diary, and all logged data, unless you have created a backup yourself using the app’s backup feature.
Children’s Privacy
Eatalyze is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
