Nutrition: Vitamins & Minerals — Privacy Policy
Nutrition · Effective 22 October 2026
Short version: your food log, body weight, notes, photos and Apple Health data stay on your iPhone. There are no accounts, ads, analytics or tracking. The only thing the app uploads is a barcode food you have logged several times, so other users can find it, and you can switch that off.
Data that stays on your device
- Your meals, foods, recipes, goals, body weight, sunlight log, daily notes and inspiration photos are stored only in the app's storage on your iPhone. We have no copy of them.
- If you back up your iPhone to iCloud or a computer, this data is included in that backup under Apple's terms.
- Deleting the app deletes this data.
Apple Health
If you turn on Apple Health, the app reads workouts, heart rate, daylight time, energy, steps, sleep and body weight to score your training, show it alongside your weight and tailor its nutrition advice. It saves the body weight you log to Apple Health. Health data is used only inside the app on your device. It is never uploaded, never shared with anyone, and never used for advertising or marketing. You can change or revoke access at any time in the Health app or in iPhone Settings.
Camera and photos
The camera and photo library are used to read nutrition labels and barcodes, and to add inspiration photos. Text recognition happens on your device. Images are not uploaded.
Barcode lookups (Open Food Facts)
When you scan a barcode that isn't already on your phone, the app sends that barcode number to our shared-foods server and to Open Food Facts, a public food database, to find the product. Only the barcode number is sent, with no information about you. Open Food Facts' own privacy policy applies to their service.
Shared barcode foods
To help other users, a barcode food you have logged at least 3 times on at least 2 different days is uploaded to our server, which runs on Cloudflare. The upload contains:
- the barcode, product name and nutrition values per 100 g, plus how many times and on how many days you logged it;
- a random identifier that Apple generates for this app on your device (the "identifier for vendor"), used only to limit how many foods one device can upload per day and to remove abusive uploads.
The upload does not include your name, account, location, the rest of your food log, or any health data. The product becomes visible to other users of the app. The identifier is not linked to your identity and is not used to track you.
Turning it off: Settings → Features → Share barcode foods. Nothing is uploaded while it is off.
Removal: email us the barcode and we will delete the product and the related upload records.
What we don't do
- No advertising, and no ad or analytics software in the app.
- No tracking across other companies' apps or websites.
- No selling or renting of data.
Not medical advice
Nutrition targets, coaching and health information in the app are educational and come from public health sources. They are not medical advice. Talk to a doctor or dietitian about your own situation.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date. A significant change, such as collecting a new kind of data, will also be noted in the app's release notes.
