Privacy Policy

Last updated:

This policy explains what information FitHealthy collects, why, who it is shared with, and how you can see or delete it. We do not sell your personal data.

Information you give us

  • Account: first and last name, email address and a password. We store only a secure hash of the password, never the password itself.
  • Profile (optional): gender, age, weight, height, goal, activity level, diet type and allergies. These personalize calorie targets and meal ideas.
  • Saved data (optional): meals you log, water and weight entries, your kitchen ingredients and grocery list.
  • Messages you send through the contact form.

Photos you upload

When you use the food scanner, Rate My Plate or the label scanner, your photo is resized in your browser and sent to our server for analysis. We keep a copy of the photo and its result on our server so that the same photo gets an instant answer next time, and so we can check and improve result quality.

Uploaded photos are not linked to your account and are kept for up to 12 months. Please do not upload photos that show people's faces or personal documents.

AI processing

To analyse photos and answer questions, the photo or text you submit is sent to our AI provider (Google Gemini or OpenAI). They process it to return a result under their API terms. We do not send your name, email or account details with these requests.

Other services we use

  • Cloudflare: content delivery, security and the human-verification check on sign-up.
  • Neon: database hosting for accounts and saved data.
  • Google Analytics: anonymous statistics about which pages are used.
  • Open Food Facts and USDA FoodData Central: when you look up a barcode or a food, the search term is sent to them.
  • TheMealDB: recipe photos load from their servers.

Cookies and local storage

  • A login session cookie, only if you sign in.
  • A language cookie that remembers your chosen language.
  • Your theme choice and some tool settings are saved in your browser's local storage.
  • Google Analytics sets its own cookies to count visits.

Server logs

Our web server records basic request data to keep the site secure and to count visits: a shortened IP address (the last part removed), country, the page requested, browser type and referring site. Search terms and other URL parameters are not logged.

Your choices and rights

  • Download all your account data from your profile page at any time.
  • Delete your account from your profile page. This permanently removes your account, profile and saved data.
  • Use every free tool without an account.
  • Contact us to ask about, correct or delete any information we hold about you.

Children

FitHealthy is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly create accounts for them.
