BiteBurn — Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026. Contact: biteburnsupport@gmail.com.

What we collect

• Account: name, email, profile photo (Google sign-in) or an anonymous guest id.
• Health data you log: meals, workouts, body metrics (weight, height, age, goals).
• Steps (with your permission): if you allow activity-recognition access, we count your daily steps with your phone's built-in step sensor. The reading is stored on your device first, and the daily total is synced to your account only when the app is open and signed in. Steps are shown in the app and on the optional home-screen widget, and are never used for ads, never sold, and never shared with third parties.
• Meal photos: the photo you scan is stored on our servers as well as on your device, so your own picture is still there after a reinstall or on a new device. It is used only to show that meal back to you and to run the analysis you asked for.
• Reports: if you tap “report a wrong analysis”, that downscaled photo and the analysis are stored for review.
• Diagnostics: error and security-event logs (IP, app version) kept up to 90 days.

What we do not collect

No location, contacts, microphone, advertising IDs, or sale of personal data. No third-party ad SDKs.

Health information

All health data in BiteBurn is self-reported by you or estimated automatically by our software. We are not healthcare providers, we do not verify this data, and we do not use it to give medical advice. Estimates derived from it are informational only. See the Terms of Service for the health disclaimer, the assumption of risk, and the limits on liability that apply to your use of the app.

Why

To run the app: sign-in, meal/workout tracking, AI meal analysis, abuse prevention.

Sharing

Meal-analysis requests are proxied through our servers to AI and nutrition providers. The analysed photo and the food names detected from it are sent to Google (Gemini), which also performs the web search used to look up nutrition values. Those providers receive only the data needed for that analysis and no advertising profile. We never sell data.

Retention

Account data and your meal photos are kept until you delete the meal or your account. Resolved analysis reports (with photos) are purged after ~180 days. Quota/security logs expire automatically.

Your rights & deletion

Delete anytime in-app (Profile → Delete Account) or request deletion at delete-account.html. Deletion removes server records, including your stored meal photos, and is permanent.

Children

BiteBurn is not directed at children under 13.
