Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Dzmitry Barysevich built the EatFit app as a Freemium app. This SERVICE is provided by Dzmitry Barysevich at no cost and is intended for use as is. This page is used to inform visitors regarding the policies on collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information when using the Service. By choosing to use the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. Personal Information collected is used for providing and improving the Service. Information will not be used or shared with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy. The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in the Terms and Conditions, which is accessible at EatFit unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy.

Information Collection and Use

The app can be used without an account. In that case the food diary, weight history, profile (age, sex, height, weight, activity level and goal) and settings are stored only on the device.

If the user signs in with email, Google or Apple, this data and the email address of the account are also stored in the user's EatFit account on Google Firebase, so that they are backed up and available on the user's other devices. The account and its data can be deleted at any time, as described on the account and data deletion page.

When food is recognized from a photo, the photo and the optional description are uploaded to Google Firebase and sent to OpenAI to recognize the food and estimate its nutritional value.

The app uses third party services that may collect information used to identify you:

  • Google Play Services
  • Google Analytics for Firebase
  • Firebase Crashlytics
  • OpenAI (food recognition from photos)

Log Data

Whenever the Service is used, in a case of an error in the app, data and information (through third party products) on your phone called Log Data may be collected. This Log Data may include information such as your device Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app when utilizing the Service, the time and date of your use of the Service, and other statistics.

Cookies

Cookies are files with a small amount of data that are commonly used as anonymous unique identifiers. These are sent to your browser from the websites that you visit and are stored on your device's internal memory. This Service does not use these “cookies” explicitly. However, the app may use third party code and libraries that use “cookies” to collect information and improve their services. You have the option to either accept or refuse these cookies and know when a cookie is being sent to your device. If you choose to refuse our cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of this Service.

Service providers

Third-party companies and individuals may be employed for the following reasons:

  • To facilitate the Service;
  • To provide the Service;
  • To perform Service-related services; or
  • To analyze how the Service is used.

Third parties may have access to Personal Information in order to perform their assigned tasks. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.

Sequrity

Personal Information is handled with care and commercially acceptable means are used to protect it. However, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Children’s Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. The app does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. In the case it is discovered that a child under 13 has provided personal information, it is immediately deleted from the servers. If you are a parent or guardian and your child has provided personal information, please contact EatFit so that necessary actions can be taken.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

The Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Reviewing this page periodically for any changes is advised. Changes will be communicated by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. This policy is effective as of 2023-05-06

Health Data

The app may collect and process health-related data, including but not limited to nutritional information (such as calories, macronutrients, and micronutrients), dietary intake, and physical activity.

This data may be provided directly by the user, collected via features such as barcode scanning or AI-based food recognition, or, if enabled by the user, accessed from health platforms such as Health Connect or Apple Health, as described in the next section.

This data is used solely to provide and improve app functionality, including tracking nutrition, analyzing dietary habits, and delivering personalized insights.

Health data is not sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

Health data is stored securely and is only accessible to the user. Appropriate measures are taken to protect this data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

Users can request deletion of their data at any time.

Health Connect and Apple Health

On Android, EatFit can exchange data with Health Connect. On iOS, it can read data from Apple Health. Each connection stays off until the user turns it on in the app and grants access on the system permission screen. Access can be withdrawn at any time in the Health Connect or Apple Health settings.

Data EatFit reads

  • Active calories burned, basal metabolic rate, total calories burned and steps from Health Connect; active energy, resting energy and steps from Apple Health. They are used only to show the calories burned during the day in the spent calories tracker, when a fitness app is chosen as its source. These values are shown on the device and are not stored or sent anywhere.
  • Weight from Health Connect, when "Sync weight with Health Connect" is on. Weights recorded by other apps, such as smart scales, are added to the weight history in EatFit: those from the last 30 days when the setting is turned on, and new ones after that. The weight history is stored on the device and, for signed-in users, in their EatFit account so that it is available on their other devices, in the same way as a weight entered in the app. A weight entered in EatFit is never replaced by one from Health Connect.

Data EatFit writes (Health Connect only)

  • Nutrition, when "Send meals to Health Connect" is on: one record per meal for today and past days, with calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates, food names and the time of the meal. When this setting is turned off, everything EatFit wrote can be deleted from Health Connect.
  • Weight, when "Sync weight with Health Connect" is on: the weight entered in EatFit, one record per day. Weights that came from Health Connect are not written back.

Data received from Health Connect and Apple Health is used only to provide these features. It is not used for advertising, is not sold, is not shared with third parties, is not sent to analytics or crash reporting services, and is not used to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.

The use of information received from Health Connect adheres to the Health Connect Permissions policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
