Privacy Policy

Your food log is personal. Here is exactly what CalTally collects, why, and the control you keep over it.

Last updated: 17 June 2026

CalTally ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use the CalTally mobile application and website (the "Service"). By using CalTally, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

1. Information we collect

A. Account & authentication information

When you sign in using Google Sign-In or Apple Sign-In, we may receive your name, email address, and profile picture (if provided). This is used only to create and manage your account.

B. Health & nutrition data you provide

We collect data you voluntarily enter, including food logs, calorie intake, macronutrient data, exercise entries, weight and body measurements, and fitness goals. This data is used only to provide tracking and insights.

C. Health & fitness integration (Apple Health / Google Fit / Health Connect)

If you enable Apple Health, Google Fit, or Google Health Connect, we may read activity data such as steps, active energy burned, and workouts, and write your nutrition intake back to them. Health data is accessed only with your permission and is never used for advertising or sold.

D. AI food image processing (Google Gemini API)

CalTally uses the Google Gemini API (Google AI) to analyse food images. When you take or upload a food photo:

  • The food image only is securely transmitted to the Google Gemini API for calorie and nutrition estimation.
  • We do not send food descriptions, your name, email, profile information, health logs, or account identifiers.
  • The image is used solely to generate nutritional analysis results.
  • Data is transmitted only after you actively capture or select a food image and request analysis, which constitutes your consent.
  • Google processes this data under its applicable data protection and security standards. We do not use AI-submitted images for advertising and do not sell this data.

E. Usage & analytics data

We may collect anonymised analytics and diagnostic data, such as crash reports. This data does not personally identify you.

2. How we use your information

  • Manage your account and sync data across your devices.
  • Calculate nutrition goals and estimate BMI and BMR.
  • Provide AI-based calorie and nutrition analysis.
  • Improve app performance and respond to support requests.

We do not sell your personal data.

3. Subscriptions & payments

Payments are processed by the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. We do not store payment card details. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled in your account settings.

4. Third-party service providers

We use trusted providers who process data on our behalf and are required to protect it:

  • Google Firebase — Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, and Firebase Analytics.
  • Google Gemini API — AI-based food image analysis.

We do not share personally identifiable health data with AI services.

5. Data retention & your control

We retain your data while your account is active. You can edit or delete individual entries, export your data, or delete your account entirely from the app settings or by contacting us, which removes your associated personal data from our active systems.

6. Data security

We use industry-standard security through secure cloud infrastructure to protect your information in transit and at rest. No system is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your data.

7. Children's privacy

CalTally is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

8. International data transfers

Your data may be processed on secure servers operated by our service providers in various jurisdictions.

9. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may request access to your data, correction of inaccurate data, deletion of your data, or withdrawal of consent. Contact us to exercise these rights.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above will reflect any changes.
