Aggregated and de-identified information is not considered personal information under this Privacy Policy.

8. Artificial Intelligence Processing

Certain features of the App use artificial intelligence to process uploaded menu images and generate restaurant menu information, nutritional estimates, meal recommendations, and personalized insights.

Artificial intelligence systems may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated results. Users should independently verify important information, including ingredients, allergens, nutritional values, prices, and restaurant information before relying on it.

We do not use artificial intelligence to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning users.

Artificial intelligence features are intended solely to assist users and should not be considered medical, nutritional, or professional advice.

9. Third-Party Services

The App relies on trusted third-party service providers to deliver its functionality.

These providers may include Apple, Google, Google Places, Google Gemini, Supabase, Cloudflare, and other infrastructure providers that help us operate, secure, maintain, and improve the App.

These providers process information only as necessary to provide their services and are governed by their own privacy policies.

When you choose one of these sign-in methods, we receive only the information made available by the provider in accordance with your privacy settings and permissions.

We do not receive or store your Apple ID password or Google account password.

11. Subscription Information

Subscriptions are processed exclusively through Apple's In-App Purchase system.

We do not receive or store your payment card details.

We may receive limited subscription information from Apple, such as whether your subscription is active, expired, renewed, or cancelled, solely for the purpose of managing access to subscription features.

12. How We Share Information

14. International Data Transfers

The App relies on cloud infrastructure and third-party service providers that may process information in countries other than the country in which you reside.

As a result, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in jurisdictions that may have different data protection laws than those of your country.

Where required by applicable law, we implement reasonable safeguards designed to protect your personal information during international transfers.

15. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

While we work to protect your information, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing electronic information is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

16. Account Deletion

You may delete your account at any time through the options available within the App or by contacting us.

Deleting your account may result in the permanent deletion of your personal information, except where we are required or permitted by law to retain certain information.

Aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified information may continue to be retained because it no longer identifies you.

Deleting your account does not automatically cancel your Apple subscription. Subscriptions must be managed separately through your Apple ID account settings.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include the ability to:

Access the personal information we hold about you.

19. Restaurant Information

Restaurant menus, prices, ingredients, allergens, nutritional information, availability, and operating hours may change without notice.

Restaurant information displayed within the App may be obtained from publicly available sources, third-party providers, user-contributed content, or automated extraction technologies.

While we strive to provide accurate information, we do not guarantee that restaurant information will always be complete, accurate, or up to date.

Restaurants are responsible for the accuracy of their own information. Users should verify important information directly with the restaurant before relying on it.

20. Nutrition Disclaimer

Nutritional information, calorie estimates, macronutrient values, ingredients, allergens, and meal recommendations provided by the App are estimates generated from available information.

Actual nutritional values may vary depending on ingredients, preparation methods, recipes, cooking techniques, serving sizes, and restaurant practices.

The information provided by the App is intended for general informational purposes only and should not be considered medical, nutritional, or professional advice.

Always verify important dietary, ingredient, or allergen information directly with the restaurant and consult a qualified healthcare professional regarding medical or dietary decisions.

21. Artificial Intelligence Disclaimer

The App uses artificial intelligence to process menu images, extract restaurant menu information, estimate nutritional values, and generate personalized meal recommendations.

Artificial intelligence systems may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information. Users should independently verify important information, including ingredients, allergens, nutritional values, prices, and restaurant information before relying on it.

The App should not be relied upon as the sole source of information for health, dietary, or medical decisions.

22. Links to Third-Party Services

The App may contain links to websites, applications, or services operated by third parties.

These third-party services operate under their own privacy policies and terms, and we encourage you to review those policies before providing any personal information or using those services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party services.

23. SDKs and Similar Technologies

Because Eatfit is a mobile application, it does not use browser cookies in the traditional sense.

However, the App and certain third-party services may use software development kits (SDKs), device identifiers, local storage, and similar technologies to:

Authenticate users and maintain secure sessions
Provide analytics and diagnostics
Improve application performance
Detect fraud and abuse
Support security features
Enable other functionality necessary to operate the App

These technologies are governed by the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers.

24. Communications

We may send service-related communications, including account notifications, subscription updates, security notices, customer support messages, and other information necessary to operate the App.

If we introduce promotional communications in the future, you will have the opportunity to opt out where required by applicable law.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits any rights you may have under applicable law.

26. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the App, our services, legal requirements, or our privacy practices.

When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy and, where required by applicable law, provide appropriate notice within the App or by other reasonable means.
