MealAI ("the App") is a meal tracking and nutrition insights application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle your data.

Data Collection

Data Stored on Your Device

The following data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers:

Data Sent to Third-Party Services

AI Insights (DeepSeek API via Supabase): When you use AI Insights features, your meal data and queries are sent to our secure proxy server (Supabase), which forwards them to the DeepSeek AI service for analysis. This data is not stored on our servers and is only used to generate the requested insight.

Advertising (Google AdMob): The App uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and use data as described in Google's Privacy Policy. This may include:

App Tracking Transparency

On iOS, the App requests your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework before collecting any advertising identifiers. You can change this permission at any time in your device's Settings.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties, except as described above for AI functionality and advertising.

Data Security

Your meal data is stored locally on your device using encrypted SQLite databases. AI requests are transmitted over HTTPS.

Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
