All data is stored locally on your device. Optionally, it is synced across your devices via iCloud.
There is no dedicated server. If you use optional features such as AI features, online food search, or iCloud synchronization, data may be transmitted to the respective service providers to the extent technically required.
4. AI Processing (Plus/Pro)
When you use AI features (chat, photo analysis, text input), the entered text or photos are transmitted via an encrypted proxy service to OpenAI as the technical service provider.
- Transmission is encrypted.
- No account data such as name, email, or Apple ID is automatically transmitted. However, the content of your request may contain personal data if you enter or upload such information yourself.
- To protect against misuse and for technical provision, an anonymous identifier that cannot be directly attributed to you may be processed.
Your inputs for AI features are processed by our technical AI service provider OpenAI. Based on our current technical and contractual setup, the transmitted content is not used to improve or train general models. The applicable contractual and technical settings of the service provider apply.
AI recommendations are generated automatically but are not the basis of automated individual decisions within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR. They serve solely as non-binding guidance.
5. Food Search
When searching for food items online, queries are sent directly from your device to Open Food Facts (France). In this process, your IP address is transmitted for technical reasons. Open Food Facts processes this data in accordance with its own privacy policy. Which additional data is technically processed as part of the request is determined by Open Food Facts under its own responsibility.
