BioIntake Privacy Policy

This policy explains what data BioIntake collects, how we collect it, how we use it, and who we share it with.

1. Data we collect

• Account information — your name and email address, which you provide when you create an account.
• Meal photos — photos you take or upload to analyze your food.
• Nutrition & activity logs — meals, calories, macros, water, and goals you record.
• Profile data — your age, sex, height, weight, activity level, and goal, used to personalize your targets and coaching.
• Health data (Apple Health / HealthKit) — with your permission, we read your body weight and active energy (calories burned) from Apple Health to personalize your targets. We only read this data after you grant permission.

2. How we use your data

We use your data only to provide the app: estimate the nutrition of your meals, track your intake and goals, personalize your daily targets, and give AI coaching. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use your Apple Health data for advertising or share it with third parties for marketing.

3. Third-party AI service (Anthropic)

BioIntake uses a third-party AI provider, Anthropic (Claude), for two features:

• Meal photo analysis — the meal photo you choose to analyze is sent to Anthropic to return a nutrition estimate.
• AI coaching — when you use the Coach, your nutrition data (your logged meals, calories, macros, goals) and basic profile (age, sex, height, weight, goal) are sent to Anthropic to generate personalized guidance.

This data is sent over a secure connection to our server and then to Anthropic. We ask for your permission in the app before any data is sent to the AI — for either feature — and you can decline. Anthropic processes the data only to generate the response and, under its commercial API terms, does not use it to train its models and does not retain it for other purposes. We require that any third party we share data with provides protections equal to those described in this policy. See Anthropic's privacy practices at anthropic.com/legal/privacy.

4. Payments

Subscriptions are processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Play). We do not receive or store your payment card details.

5. Data storage & deletion

Your account and logs are stored securely (Google Firebase). You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from within the app: open the Me tab → Delete my account. This permanently removes your account.

6. Children

BioIntake is not directed to children under 13.
