Last updated: March 10, 2026

Effective Date: March 12, 2026

MyFoodTracker (the “Team”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a health management mobile application focused on food AI scanning, diet/weight tracking, and personalized nutrition insights, and is integrated with iOS Health Kit to realize health data synchronization. We are committed to protecting your privacy and personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store and protect your information when you use our iOS mobile application and related services (the “Software and Services”), and outlines the rights and options available to you regarding your personal data.

The Software and Services include all core features of the App (e.g., food scan, diet/weight logging, nutrition analysis, Health Kit data synchronization) and any additional content or functions you choose to use ("Content"). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY, DO NOT USE THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES.

This Privacy Policy applies to all iOS users of the MyFoodTracker App, including free and premium subscription users, and complies with Apple App Store privacy guidelines and iOS data protection regulations.

Information Collection ​

The data we collect depends on your interactions with the Software and Services, your privacy settings, the features you use, iOS system permissions, and applicable local laws and regulations. We only collect necessary information to provide and optimize our services, and will never collect sensitive personal data without your explicit consent. The information we collect is categorized as follows:

If you contact us via the App’s support section, email, or other official channels, we may collect your email address, username, and any information you voluntarily submit (e.g., support inquiries, problem descriptions, feedback details).

This information is only used to provide you with customer support services and will not be linked to your health data, user ID, or other usage data collected by the App. When you use the Software and Services, we automatically generate an anonymous internal User ID (which does not personally identify you) for your App usage, and this ID will not be associated with your support information.

II. Technical Information ​

We collect limited technical information about your iOS device and your use of the Software and Services to ensure the normal operation of the App and optimize your user experience. This information includes:

  • Device-related data: iOS version, device model (e.g., iPhone 17 Pro Max), device configuration, anonymous device identifiers (e.g., IDFA, which can be reset by you in iOS settings);
  • Usage-related data: App version, your configuration and settings of the App features, interaction records with core functions (e.g., scan, log, Health Kit synchronization);
  • Network-related data: ISP (Internet Service Provider), anonymous IP address (processed to remove identifiable information), network connection type (Wi-Fi/cellular);
  • Location data: Only collected if you enable location permissions in iOS settings, and used solely to optimize regional service experience (no precise location data is stored or shared).

III. User-Generated Health & App Core Data ​

This is the core data you voluntarily input, record, or generate through the App’s features, and is the key data for us to provide health management services. We collect this data only with your explicit confirmation and you can delete or modify it at any time in the App. The data includes:

  1. Food scan data: AI scan results of food (food name, calories, macronutrients), scan image URL, scan time (no image files are stored by us, only secure URL addresses);
  2. Diet/weight tracking data: Manually or automatically logged meal records (meal type, calories, macronutrients), weight records, target weight, daily/meal nutrition goals, and weight trend data;
  3. Health Kit synchronized data: Only collected if you authorize the App to access iOS Health Kit, including weight, steps, and other health data (the specific data type is subject to your authorization, and we will not access or collect any Health Kit data without your consent);
  4. Subscription data: Subscription type (free/premium), subscription validity period, and payment-related anonymous transaction records (no raw payment card information is stored; payment processing complies with Apple App Store payment guidelines).

IV. Feedback and Reviews ​

Any information you voluntarily provide to us, including App feedback, survey responses, product reviews, and suggestions for feature optimization. This information is used to improve the Software and Services and will be de-identified if used for product development.

III. Special Protection for Sensitive Data ​

Your core health data (diet/weight records, food scan results, Health Kit synchronized data) is classified as sensitive data, and we take additional protection measures for this data:

  • No raw sensitive data is shared with any third party;
  • Sensitive data is never used for advertising or commercial promotion;
  • Sensitive data is backed up regularly on secure, isolated servers to prevent data loss;
  • Health Kit synchronized data is only accessed and used with your explicit authorization, and complies with Apple’s Health Kit privacy rules.

Your Rights and Options ​

Under applicable data protection laws, iOS regulations, and Apple App Store guidelines, you have the right to control your personal data and health information collected and used by us. We provide simple and easy-to-use ways for you to exercise these rights on iOS devices, and will respond to your requests in a timely manner.
