Welcome to Snap Nutrition! This Privacy Policy explains what information we handle to make the app work and how we protect your privacy. We've designed the app to be private-by-default, storing your meal data on your device.

Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in various ways when you use Snap Nutrition:

• Image Data: Photos of meals you upload or capture through the app. This data is processed by our AI to provide nutritional analysis and is only sent to our AI service provider for this purpose. We do not store raw image data long-term on our servers after analysis, only a downscaled version for display in your saved meals if you choose to save the analysis.
• Text Input: Meal names, chain store names, or other text you provide for analysis or as part of a manual entry.
• EXIF Data & Timestamps: If available in your images, we may read EXIF data (like 'DateTimeOriginal') to pre-fill the meal timestamp. Otherwise, we use file modification times or allow manual input. This helps contextualize your meal.
• User Profile Information (Optional & Local): Your weight, height, dietary goals, and chosen healthy diet approach are stored only on your device in your browser's local storage. This information is used by the AI to tailor suggestions and by the app to personalize daily targets.
• AI-Derived Data: Nutritional estimates (calories, macros, ingredients), meal name predictions, meal type classifications, and dietary suggestions generated by our AI based on your input.

How We Use Your Information

Having accurate information allows us to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience. Specifically, we may use information collected about you via the application to:

• Provide AI-driven nutritional analysis using Generative AI. This service has its own privacy policy.
• Offer personalized dietary suggestions based on your logged intake and profile settings (if provided).
• Enable local features such as saving meal analyses, tracking daily summaries, and managing your data on your device.
• Display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense. AdSense may collect data as per Google's AdSense Program policies.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information we have collected about you in certain situations:

• With Service Providers: For AI analysis (Generative AI). This service has its own privacy policy.
• With Advertising Partners (Google AdSense): To display advertisements in the app. AdSense may collect and use data according to Google's advertising policies. You can manage your ad preferences through Google's Ad Settings.
• For Legal Reasons: If required by law or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of others.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party services: Google Privacy Policy, Google AdSense Program Policies.

Data Storage and Security

Your saved meals, nutritional data, and profile settings are stored exclusively on your device within your browser's localStorage. This means we do not have a central server with your personal meal history. You have full control to delete this data at any time from the app's 'Settings' tab or by clearing your browser data.

Data Retention

Data stored in your browser's local storage (meal history, profile information) remains on your device until you clear it or uninstall the app. Data sent to third-party services (like our AI for analysis) is subject to their respective retention policies.

International Data Transfers

Your information, including image data sent for AI analysis, may be processed by our AI provider's servers which may be located outside of your country of residence. By using the app, you consent to this transfer.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
