1. Who We Are
AI Balance: Calorie Tracker (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is a mobile application designed to help you track calories and understand your nutrition using AI assistance, while respecting your privacy.
By using the app, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the app.
2. What Data We Handle
The app is designed to be local‑first. This means your data is primarily processed and stored on your own device using Apple’s Core Data.
Depending on how you use the app, the following types of information may be stored on your device:
- Nutrition & food data (e.g., meals, calorie entries, macronutrients).
- Body & activity information (e.g., weight, activity level, personal goals).
- App usage context (e.g., preferences, local settings, language).
We do not create online accounts and we do not require you to sign in. We do not directly identify you by name, email, or phone number.
3. Local Storage on Your Device
All personal data you enter into the app (such as your logs and settings) is stored securely on your device via Core Data.
- We do not maintain our own cloud database of your entries.
- We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data.
- Your device’s operating system (iOS) may also encrypt this data when your device is locked.
If you uninstall the app, locally stored data may be removed from your device, depending on your system settings and backups.
4. How AI Processes Your Data
Some features of the app use an external AI API to analyze or generate content (for example, to interpret your meals or give nutrition insights).
When you use these AI features:
- Relevant text or structured data you choose to process is sent to our AI service provider.
- This data is transmitted securely over encrypted connections (HTTPS).
- The AI provider processes the data to generate a response (for example, a calorie estimate or advice‑style text), which is then returned to your device.
We do not use AI requests to personally identify you. However, please avoid including information that you consider highly sensitive (for example, full name, address, or other identifiers) in free‑text fields.
Note: Our AI provider may have its own privacy terms. Please review their policy for details on how they handle request data.
5. Purchases & Subscriptions
The app may offer in‑app purchases or subscriptions to unlock premium features. Payments are processed by Apple via the App Store’s in‑app purchase system.
- We do not receive or store your full payment card details.
- Apple may process certain billing and transaction information according to its own policies.
For more information about how Apple handles your data, please review Apple’s privacy policy and App Store terms.
6. Third‑Party Services
We may rely on third‑party services strictly to provide app functionality, such as:
- AI service providers that process text or nutrition data you submit for analysis.
- Apple’s in‑app purchase and analytics features available on iOS.
These providers act as processors of the data required for their specific function. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not grant third parties permission to market to you based on data from this app.
7. Analytics & Diagnostic Data
The app itself is designed to minimize collection of analytics. However, your device or platform (e.g. iOS) may provide anonymized usage or crash reports, according to the settings you have chosen with Apple.
Any such platform-level data is controlled by Apple and is subject to their privacy settings and policy.
8. Your Choices & Data Control
You remain in control of the data stored in the app on your device:
- You can edit or delete your entries from within the app where functionality allows.
- You can delete the app from your device, which may remove locally stored data.
- You can manage OS‑level permissions (for example, notifications) using your device settings.
If we ever introduce account-based features or cloud sync in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated to explain those changes before they take effect.
9. Children’s Privacy
This app is not intended for children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under this age.
If you believe a child has provided data through the app, please contact us so that we can assist with removal where possible.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app or applicable law. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the bottom of this page.
Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the updated policy.
