Last updated August 22, 2026
This Privacy Policy for Foodtr4cl ("we," "us," or "our") describes how and why we access, collect, store, use, and/or share ("process") your personal information when you download and use our mobile application, Foodtr4cl.
Foodtr4cl is a calorie and nutrition tracking mobile app, available on iOS and Android, for users 13 and older. It lets users log food and water intake, track macronutrients (protein, carbs, fat, fiber, sugar, sodium, saturated fat) and body weight against personalized daily targets, and optionally sync data with Apple Health (iOS) or Health Connect (Android). Users create an account with email/password, Sign in with Apple (iOS), or Google Sign-In. Account data — profile and health statistics, logged food/weight entries, custom foods, and recipes — is stored and synced across devices via Google Firebase.
The app offers optional AI-powered features — photo-based meal estimation, nutrition verification, and personalized meal-plan/review suggestions — using Google's Gemini model via Firebase AI Logic. Photos submitted for AI estimation are processed and deleted immediately; they are not retained. The app also includes an optional in-app mini-games module with friend-based social features (invite codes, duels).
Free-tier users may see rewarded-video ads served by Google AdMob, with consent management for GDPR/UK users via Google's User Messaging Platform; no ads are shown to paying subscribers. Paid subscriptions are billed and processed by Apple's App Store or Google Play Billing — we do not collect, process, or store any payment card data.
If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the app. Questions? Email us at info@foodtr4cl.com.
Personal information you provide to us. Depending on how you use the app, this may include: your email address; a username/display name (optional, used only in the Arcade mini-games friend feature); a password (for email/password accounts); notification/contact preferences; your profile and health statistics (age, sex, height, weight, activity level, dietary preferences); and user-generated content (logged food/weight entries, custom foods, recipes).
Sensitive information. With your consent, we process health data — your profile/health statistics and logged entries described above.
Payment data. We do not collect, process, or store any payment card data. If you purchase a subscription, your payment is handled entirely by Apple's App Store or Google Play Billing — we never receive your payment instrument number, security code, or other card details. You may find their privacy notices here: Apple and Google.
Sign-in data. We provide the option to register or sign in using Sign in with Apple (iOS) or Google Sign-In. If you choose to register this way, we receive certain identity information from that provider — typically your email address, and a name if you choose to share one. See Section 7 below.
Mobile device access. We may request access to your device's camera, photo library, and Apple Health/Health Connect. You can change these permissions at any time in your device's settings.
Push notifications. We may send notifications about reminders, streaks, and app features. You can turn these off in your device's settings.
Information automatically collected. Some information — such as your IP address, device model/OS, and diagnostic/crash data — is collected automatically when you use the app, primarily to maintain security and troubleshoot issues.
Information from other sources. The only outside source we receive information from is the sign-in provider you choose to use — Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In, described above. We do not obtain information about you from public databases, data brokers, marketing partners, affiliate programs, or social media platforms, and we do not use any outside source to build marketing profiles or for event promotion.
We process your information to: create and manage your account; deliver the app's services to you (tracking, sync, AI features); respond to your inquiries; send administrative information (e.g. Terms updates); manage your subscription; enable the optional friend/duel features in the Arcade module (a plain nickname is the only information visible to friends there — see Section 4); serve targeted advertising to free-tier users; protect the app against fraud and abuse; and measure the effectiveness of our own promotional campaigns. We only process your information when we have a valid legal basis to do so (see Section 3).
If you are in the EU, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on: your consent (which you can withdraw at any time by contacting us); performance of a contract (to provide the service you signed up for); our legitimate interests (targeted advertising, measuring campaign effectiveness, and protecting the app against fraud); compliance with legal obligations; and, where necessary, protecting someone's vital interests.
If you are in Canada, we rely on your express or implied consent, or another legal basis permitted under Canadian law (e.g. fraud prevention, a business transaction, or a legal requirement).
We share personal information with the following categories of third-party service providers, each under a written agreement:
Other users. Our app includes an optional friend/social feature (the Arcade module) where you may choose to set a display name visible only to accounts you've connected with as friends. This display name is the only personal information visible to other users through the app — we have no public posting, commenting, or contact-list-sharing features, and no information about you is made available outside the app or to the general public.
Business transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of company assets.
The app may display advertisements from third parties not affiliated with us. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or security of any third party — please review their own policies directly.
Yes. We offer AI-powered features — photo-based meal estimation, nutrition verification, and personalized meal-plan/review suggestions — through our AI service provider, Google Gemini (via Firebase AI Logic). Your input (e.g. a meal photo) and the resulting output are processed by this provider to deliver these features. Meal photos are deleted immediately after processing and are not retained. To opt out of AI features, simply avoid using them, or contact us at info@foodtr4cl.com.
If you choose to register or log in using Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In, we receive certain identity information about you from that provider — typically your email address, and your name if you choose to share it. We do not receive your contacts list, friends list, or other social-graph data from either provider. We use this information only for the purposes described in this policy. We recommend reviewing Apple's and Google's own privacy notices.
Our servers, and the servers of the third parties we work with, are located in the United States. If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States. We rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, and equivalent safeguards with our service providers, to protect your information when it's transferred this way. Details can be provided on request.
We keep your information for as long as your account remains active, unless a longer period is required by law. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize your information, except where retention is necessary for fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or legal compliance.
We use reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Depending on where you live (including the EEA, UK, Switzerland, Canada, and many U.S. states), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, restrict or object to its processing, and withdraw consent at any time. You can exercise these rights, or manage your consent preferences, at any time from your in-app account settings, or by contacting us at info@foodtr4cl.com.
If you're in the UK and unhappy with how we've handled a complaint, you can contact the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint. If you're in the EEA or Switzerland, you may contact your local data protection authority.
There is currently no accepted industry standard for how to respond to browser Do-Not-Track signals, so we do not respond to them at this time.
If you're a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or Virginia, you may have additional rights under your state's privacy law, including the right to know, access, correct, delete, and obtain a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of targeted advertising, the sale/sharing of personal information, or profiling. In the last 12 months, we have disclosed device/advertising identifiers to Google AdMob for targeted-advertising purposes, which may be considered a "sale" or "share" of information under some of these laws — you can opt out by contacting us. We do not knowingly collect or sell the personal information of anyone under 13.
California residents may also request, once a year and free of charge, a list of categories of personal information we've disclosed to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year, under California's "Shine the Light" law — email us to make this request.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change, and if we make material changes, we'll notify you in the app or by other reasonable means.
If you have questions or comments about this policy, you may email us at info@foodtr4cl.com.
You can review, update, or export a copy of your data at any time from Settings > Export Data (on eligible plans), and permanently delete your account and all associated data from Settings > Delete Account. For any other request, contact us at info@foodtr4cl.com.
