Food Snapper AI

Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 17, 2025

This Privacy Policy applies to the Food Snapper AI mobile application and describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By using Food Snapper AI, you agree to the terms described here. This policy is designed to comply with relevant Google Play policies, including Health Connect requirements, and any applicable local laws and regulations.

1. Information We Collect

• Personal Data: We may collect information you provide (e.g., age, gender, height, weight) to personalize nutritional or fitness analysis.
• Photos of Food: You can upload photos of your meals, which are stored on secure servers. These images are encrypted in transit and at rest.
• Health Connect Data (with your permission): If you grant explicit permission, we may request access to specific Health Connect data, such as exercise sessions, total calories burned, daily step count, and body metrics (height and weight), to display your workout information, activity, and body metrics alongside nutritional data within the app.
• Body Metrics You Enter: If you manually add or edit your height or weight in the app, we store those entries in your account and, only if you enable sync, write them to Health Connect.

2. Approved Use Case for Health Connect

Food Snapper AI is a fitness and wellness application. Our features help users view their exercise information, step counts, and basic body metrics (height and weight) alongside nutritional data in one place. We follow Google’s guidelines and only request Health Connect permissions related to our approved use case: fitness and wellness.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Nutritional & Fitness Analysis: Analyze meal photos to estimate nutritional values (calories, protein, carbs, fats) and combine them with activity data (if provided) for comprehensive insights.
• Display Exercise & Step Data: Read specific data from Health Connect (e.g., exercise sessions, calories burned, daily step count) within a selected timeframe so that you can monitor your workouts and daily activity.
• Body Metrics & Sync (Opt-In): Read your height and weight (via Health Connect) to personalize your experience (e.g., calorie estimates, BMI) and show trends. If you enable sync, we may write height/weight entries that you add or edit in the app back to Health Connect to keep your records consistent across apps.
• Feed Sharing (With Consent): We offer a voluntary feature where you can share your meal photos and associated nutritional information (including calorie count and macronutrient data) on our public feed, along with your gender and country. This occurs only if you explicitly consent. You may withdraw consent at any time, and your information will be removed from the feed as soon as technically feasible.
• Service Improvement: Maintain and improve our services, including troubleshooting and data analytics. We only use the minimum amount of data required to achieve these functions.

4. Health Connect Data Handling

• Data Scope Limitation: We only request access to Health Connect permissions essential for our fitness and wellness features: READ_EXERCISE, READ_TOTAL_CALORIES_BURNED, READ_STEPS, READ_HEIGHT, READ_WEIGHT, WRITE_HEIGHT, and WRITE_WEIGHT. For steps, we use the daily step count only (we do not use cadence or other unused fields). For height/weight, we access the value and timestamp needed to display and sync your body metrics.
• Write Behavior (Explicit Opt-In): We write only height and weight entries, and only when you enable sync and take an action that creates/edits those entries in the app. We do not write exercise, calories, or steps to Health Connect.
• Minimal Data Access: We read only what’s necessary to display your exercise duration, calories burned, step count, height, and weight for the period you select.
• No Unauthorized Sharing or Selling: We never sell or share Health Connect data with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party without explicit user consent (and only as permitted by law).
• User Control & Consent: You control Health Connect permissions, including separate read and write permissions for height/weight, in your device settings. If you revoke permissions, we will no longer access or write Health Connect data.
• Data Storage: In most cases, Health Connect data is accessed and displayed on-device. If any such data is stored on our servers (e.g., you explicitly sync it with your account), it is protected by encryption and handled under the same retention and deletion policies as other personal data.
• Compliance with Health Regulations: We comply with Google’s Health Connect policies and any applicable local laws or regulations (e.g., GDPR; HIPAA if relevant). We do not process Health Connect data for medical diagnoses or in ways that require regulatory approvals unless we have obtained such approvals where necessary.
• Android Permission Names (for transparency): android.permission.health.READ_WEIGHT, android.permission.health.READ_HEIGHT, android.permission.health.WRITE_WEIGHT, android.permission.health.WRITE_HEIGHT.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all associated data (including photos) is removed from our servers unless certain information must be retained to comply with legal obligations. Any stored Health Connect data on our servers is also deleted or anonymized upon account deletion.

Feed Consent Withdrawal: If you withdraw consent for feed sharing, your shared photos and related information (e.g., calorie and macronutrient data, gender, country) will be removed from the public feed as soon as it is technically feasible to do so.

Data Written to Health Connect: Entries already written to Health Connect reside in your device’s Health Connect store. Deleting your app account does not remove data from Health Connect. You can manage or delete those entries directly in Health Connect.

6. Security Measures

We use industry-standard security measures such as encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest to protect your data. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted within the app or on our website (if applicable). Your continued use of Food Snapper AI after any posted changes constitutes your acceptance of the new policy.
