Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 20, 2026
Alpha Calories helps users estimate calories and nutrition from food photos, keep a food diary, and receive nutrition-related recommendations. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.
Data We Collect
We may collect food photos submitted by you, meal descriptions, nutrition diary entries, weight logs, profile details you enter, subscription status, device/session identifiers, and technical data needed to operate the service.
How We Use Data
We use data to provide food photo analysis, calculate approximate calories and macros, maintain your diary, personalize recommendations, verify Apple subscriptions, prevent abuse, troubleshoot errors, and operate the application.
Photos and AI Processing
Food photos are sent to our server and may be processed by AI providers, including OpenAI, to estimate ingredients, calories, and nutrition values. AI results are approximate and may be inaccurate. Alpha Calories is not a medical service.
Apple Payments
Subscriptions are purchased and managed through Apple In-App Purchase. We receive subscription transaction information from Apple so we can unlock paid access and verify subscription status. We do not receive or store your full payment card details.
Sharing
We do not sell personal data. We share data only with service providers needed to operate the app, such as hosting, database, Apple subscription verification, and AI processing providers.
Data Retention
We keep data while your account/session is active or as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our terms. You may request deletion of your data by contacting support.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Children
Alpha Calories is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us so we can review and delete it where required.
