What happens to your data.

A compact view of BiteBuddy’s collection, sharing, protection, retention, and deletion practices.

Collected

Account and profile details, food and nutrition entries, optional health data, user-requested inference photos, community content, support messages, security signals, interactions, diagnostics, and limited-ad processing data.

Used for

App functionality, estimates, Battle scoring, account security, moderation, support, fraud prevention, opt-in rewarded ads, and post-log scan interstitials. Health and nutrition data are not placed in analytics or advertising payloads.

Shared carefully

Only with contracted processors needed for hosting, AI inference, notifications, safety operations, and limited advertising. Scan interstitials may follow each AI plate log and every other successfully logged matched barcode; manual entries are ad-free.

Protected

TLS in transit, least-privilege authorization, secure mobile storage, signed uploads, integrity checks, replay protection, rate limits, and append-only audit trails.

Deleted

Original food images are deleted after inference. Account deletion is propagated to subprocessors. Required fraud, safety, legal, and transaction-integrity proofs may be retained or anonymized only as necessary.

Your control

Correct estimates, manage consent and ad privacy choices, report or block users, hide or delete your content, appeal safety decisions, export data, and delete your account.
