4. How Your Photos Are Processed by AI

When you submit a photo, it is sent to our servers and to one or more third party artificial intelligence providers that analyze the image to identify food items and estimate nutrition. These providers process the photo solely to return a result to the App.

We use AI providers such as Google and OpenAI under agreements that restrict how they may use the data you submit.
To the extent technically possible, we configure these providers so that your photos are not used to train their models.
Calorie and macro estimates are produced by AI and are approximate. They are not medical or dietary advice. See our Terms of Use for the full disclaimer.

Photo retention. Photos you log are stored in your account history so you can review past meals. You can delete any photo at any time, which removes it from our active systems.

Cloud hosting and database providers for storing your account data and meal history.
AI providers for photo analysis, as described above.

Analytics providers to understand how the App is used and improve it.

Each provider processes data under its own privacy terms and our agreements with them. We share only what is necessary for them to perform their function.
