Welcome to Calozen. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application (the "App") and website. We are committed to protecting your privacy, especially regarding your health and dietary data in strict compliance with the Apple App Store Review Guidelines and Google Play Developer Policies.
1. Information We Collect
When you use Calozen, we collect specific types of information to provide the core functionality of our AI-powered nutrition tracker:
1.1. Health & Dietary Information
To provide accurate nutritional insights, we collect data you provide, which may include age, weight, height, gender, dietary preferences, and daily macronutrient logs.
1.2. Camera and Image Data
The App requires access to your device's camera or photo library. When you scan a meal, the image is processed by our AI vision models to detect food items and estimate portion sizes. Images are processed specifically for the purpose of meal logging.
1.3. Account Information
If you create an account, we collect your email address, name (optional), and authentication tokens (e.g., via Apple Sign-In or Google Sign-In).
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- To provide the core functionality of analyzing food images and calculating nutritional values.
- To create and maintain your personal profile and track your dietary progress over time.
- To securely sync your data across your devices using encrypted cloud storage.
- To improve the accuracy of our AI recognition models (images may be stripped of identifying metadata and used internally to train our models, a setting you can opt out of at any time).
3. Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell your personal or health data to third parties.
We may share your information only in the following situations:
- Service Providers: We use secure, vetted third-party services (such as Firebase for cloud hosting and authentication) to operate the App. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
- Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights and safety of our users.
4. Data Retention and Deletion
In accordance with GDPR, CCPA, and App Store guidelines, you have the absolute right to control your data:
- In-App Deletion: You can delete your account and all associated data directly within the Calozen App by navigating to Settings > Account > Delete Account.
- Immediate Purge: Deleting your account will immediately and permanently purge your email, health logs, and processed images from our active databases.
5. AI Processing and Accuracy
Calozen utilizes Generative AI and advanced machine learning models. While we strive for high accuracy, the AI is an estimation tool and not a medical device. By using the app, you acknowledge that calorie and macronutrient readouts are estimates based on visual data.
6. Security
We implement robust, industry-standard security measures, including data encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest, to protect your personal and health information. However, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
