3. How We Use Your Information

4. Data Processing and AI Features

4.1 On-Device Processing

Most of our food recognition processing occurs directly on your device using on-device machine learning models. This means many of your food photos are processed locally and are not sent to external servers, enhancing your privacy.

4.2 Gemini API

For advanced food recognition and nutritional analysis, we may utilize Google's Gemini API. When this service is used, images may be temporarily processed on external servers to provide accurate food identification and nutritional information. These images are processed according to Google's data handling practices and are not permanently stored by Google after processing.

4.3 Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share information in the following circumstances:

5.1 Service Providers

We may share your information with third-party vendors, service providers, and contractors who perform services on our behalf and need access to your information to deliver those services. These service providers are prohibited from using your personal information for any purpose other than to provide the requested services.

5.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).

5.3 Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our app of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information.

We may share your information with your consent or at your direction, such as when you choose to share your progress with friends or on social media.
