Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Individual Entrepreneur Marat Muslimov (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use the foodoo mobile application (the “App”) and the website at foodoo.fit (the “Website”), collectively referred to as the “Service.”

By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

• Account information: When you sign up using Sign in with Apple or a Google account, we receive your account identifier, name (if you choose to share it), and email address (or a private relay address).
• Profile data: Health goals, dietary preferences, age, height, weight, and activity level that you voluntarily provide to personalize the Service.
• Food photos: Images of meals that you submit for AI nutritional analysis. They are used only for the analysis and are not stored.
• Supplement labels: A photo of a supplement's label that you submit to have it read (a Premium feature). It is used only to read the label and is not stored. The supplements you add, their doses and when you take them are kept on your device. They are sent to us only together with a message you send to your pet helper, so it can answer; if you let its errands see your phone, a copy is kept on our servers until you turn that off.
• Pet helper: When you talk to your pet helper, your message is sent together with things otherwise kept only on your device that it needs to answer: your GLP-1 schedule, the day's forecast, your supplements, what you have at home, your taste marks and favourites, your display settings, and summaries from Apple Health if you allowed the coach to use them. If you let its errands see your phone, a copy is kept on our servers so errands can run while the app is closed; turning that off deletes it.
• Text entries: Descriptions of meals entered via the text-based analysis feature.
• Chats: What you send into a chat — messages, photos, dishes you chose to show, polls, shopping lists, your taste — the chats you are in and the people you blocked, and reports you make about a message (with a copy of that message).
• Support communications: Emails, messages, and feedback you send to us.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Usage data: Features used, frequency of use, meal scan timestamps, app session duration.
• Device information: Device model, iOS version, app version, language, time zone.
• Analytics data: Anonymized, aggregated statistics to help us improve the Service.

1.3 Information from Third Parties

• Apple HealthKit: If you enable HealthKit integration, we read and write nutritional data (calories, macronutrients, water intake). If you turn on mood and cycle, Foodoo also reads and writes your daily mood (State of Mind) and reads menstrual flow; these are processed on your device only, and cycle data never leaves it. HealthKit data is never used for advertising or shared with third parties.
• Health Connect (Android): If you turn on the Health Connect connection, Foodoo reads only the types you allow: steps, energy burned, distance, floors, weight, height, body fat, heart rate, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep, hydration and nutrition; blood glucose only if you say you wear a glucose monitor; and menstruation only if you turn on mood and cycle. It writes the meals, water and weigh-ins you log in Foodoo back to Health Connect. Sleep, heart rate, heart rate variability, blood glucose and cycle data are processed on your device only. Weigh-ins and meals you import become part of your Foodoo diary on our servers; if you allow the coach to use your health data, the day's steps, energy burned and sleep minutes are sent with your messages to it. Cycle data never leaves your device.
• How health data is limited: Data from Apple Health and Health Connect is used only to provide the features you see in Foodoo. It is never sold, never used for advertising, never used to decide on credit, insurance or employment, never shown to other users, and never read by people at Foodoo unless you ask us for support or the law requires it. Foodoo's use of information received from Health Connect adheres to the Health Connect Permissions policy, including the Limited Use requirements. You can stop the connection at any time in the app or in Health Connect, and deleting your account deletes everything we keep.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and improve the Service, including AI-powered food recognition and nutritional analysis.
• Process food photos through our AI systems to generate nutritional breakdowns.
• Personalize your experience based on your health goals and preferences.
• Generate AI-powered nutritional advice and recommendations (Premium feature).
• Deliver what you send into a chat to the people in it, and notify them of new messages.
• Check photos sent into chats automatically for objectionable content before they are delivered, and review reports to keep chats safe.
• Send you important service-related communications.
• Send you a weekly email summary of your logged food, water and progress. It is on by default and you can turn it off in the app settings or with the unsubscribe link in any of these emails.
• Analyze aggregated, anonymized usage trends to improve our AI model and Service.
• Respond to your support requests.
• Comply with legal obligations.

3. Food Photo Processing

When you scan a meal, the photo is transmitted to our servers using industry-standard TLS encryption. Our AI model analyzes the image to identify foods and calculate nutritional content. We do not store your food photos: once the analysis is done, the image is discarded. Your diary keeps the result (the dish, its nutrients and an emoji), not the picture. We do not use your photos for advertising, sell them to third parties, use them to train AI models, or use them for any purpose other than the analysis you asked for.

4. Photos in Chats

A photo you send into a chat is different from a food scan: it is meant for the people in that chat, so we keep it. Before it is delivered, it is checked by an AI model (Google Gemini) for objectionable content; a photo that does not pass is not kept or shown. A kept photo can be opened only by people who are in that chat while signed in. It is deleted after 30 days, when you take back the message it came with, or when everyone has left the chat. We do not use chat photos for advertising or to train AI models, and we do not sell them.

People in a chat see only what is sent into it — never your food diary, totals, goals or health data. Places you eat at are remembered only on your phone and are never sent to us.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

• Service providers: Cloud hosting, AI processing (Google Gemini — for food analysis, the coach and pet, and checking chat photos), an email delivery provider (SendGrid, for the weekly summary), analytics providers, and payment processors (Apple App Store, Google Play Store) that help us operate the Service. These providers are contractually bound to use your data only for the purpose of providing services to us.
• Legal requirements: If required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
• Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice to users.

6. Data Retention

• Food photos: Not stored — discarded right after analysis.
• Chat photos: 30 days, then deleted (sooner if the message is taken back or everyone leaves the chat).
• Chat messages: Kept for as long as the chat exists; a message you take back is no longer shown to anyone. Reports are kept as long as needed to handle them and keep chats safe.
• Nutritional data & meal history: Retained for the duration of your account. Deleted within 30 days of account deletion.
• Account information: Retained until you delete your account.
• Analytics data: Anonymized data may be retained indefinitely for product improvement.

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including TLS encryption for data in transit, AES-256 encryption for data at rest, and regular security audits. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate personal data.
• Delete your personal data (available in-app: Settings → Account → Delete Account).
• Export your data in a portable format — write to us and we will send it to you.
• Object to certain processing of your data.
• Withdraw consent for optional data processing at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@foodoo.fit.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.

10. International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed on servers located outside your country of residence. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your data to such locations. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in compliance with applicable data protection laws.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
