Privacy Policy
We built this app with privacy as a foundation, not an afterthought. Here is exactly what we do — and don't do — with your data.
Last updated: May 1, 2025
The app collects only the minimum required to function:
- Camera access — used in real-time to scan labels. Images are never saved to our servers or transmitted anywhere.
- iCloud account — your scan history and Food Box sync through your own Apple iCloud account, not ours. We have no access to this data.
- Purchase receipts — StoreKit 2 handles all subscription management through Apple. We never see your payment details.
- Ingredient analysis — processed entirely on your iPhone using Apple's on-device AI (Foundation Models Framework). The ingredient text never leaves your device.
- Health profile & flags — stored in your personal iCloud account and syncs automatically across all your Apple devices. Only you can access it.
- Scan history — stored in SwiftData with CloudKit sync, within your own iCloud account. Only you can access it.
- Custom allergies — stored locally on your device. Never transmitted anywhere.
- Apple CloudKit — powers iCloud sync for your scan history. Governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
- Apple StoreKit 2 — handles Pro subscription purchases. We never see your payment information.
- Open Food Facts API — used to look up product names and nutrition data by barcode. Only the barcode number is sent. No personal data is transmitted. Open Food Facts is an open-source, non-profit database.
- Apple Foundation Models — on-device AI for ingredient analysis. Runs locally on your device. No data leaves your iPhone.
We do not use Google Analytics, Firebase, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Crashlytics, or any third-party analytics or advertising SDK.
The only circumstance in which data could be disclosed is if legally required by a valid court order or government authority. Even in that case, we hold no user data that could be disclosed.
Nutrition Facts AI is rated 4+ on the App Store and is appropriate for all ages. Because we collect no personal information, there are no special considerations required for users under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children or anyone else.
- Delete your scan history — tap "Clear all history" in the History screen at any time.
- Delete your profile — reset all flags and custom allergies from the Profile screen.
- Delete all data — uninstalling the app removes all local data. Your iCloud data can be removed from Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Manage Storage.
- Cancel subscription — manage or cancel your Pro subscription at any time from Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
The app's analysis is intended as a general-purpose reference tool only. It should not be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition or disease.
If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will display an in-app notice on next launch.
Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
