Contact: reclaimnative@gmail.com
Healthy Nutri helps users log food, understand nutrition information, manage meal preferences, track nutrition and weight-related goals, generate recipes or recipe instructions, and provide feedback about the app.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and how users can contact us about privacy or deletion requests.
Healthy Nutri may initially be distributed through TestFlight as a beta app. Features and data practices may change as the product is improved. If our practices materially change, we will update this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following categories of information when you use Healthy Nutri.
A. Account and Login Information
We collect information needed to create and manage your account, such as:
- user ID or account identifier
- username
- full name
- email address
- password hash
- account creation and update timestamps
Passwords are not stored in plain text. They are stored in hashed form.
As of this version, phone-based login and phone OTP are not active. If phone login is enabled in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated.
B. Password Reset and Security Information
If you use password reset or account security features, we may collect and process:
- email address used for password reset
- reset action and status
- hashed reset code or token information
- reset-code expiry and usage status
- failed reset attempts or temporary lockout information
- IP address and user agent
- timestamps
This information is used for account security, fraud prevention, debugging, and audit purposes.
C. User Profile and Goal Information
We may collect profile and goal-related information, including:
- name
- age
- gender
- height
- start weight
- goal weight
- goal duration
- activity level or activity inputs
- nutrition preferences
- diet preferences
- goal selections
- creation and update timestamps
D. Nutrition Recommendations
Healthy Nutri may generate or display nutrition recommendations using app logic and algorithms based on information you provide, such as profile data, goals, activity inputs, diet preferences, and food logs.
These recommendations may include:
- target calories
- protein target
- carbohydrate target
- fat target
- fiber target
- diet or goal-related recommendation values
These recommendations are estimates for general informational use. They are not medical advice, are not personalized clinical guidance, and should not be relied on as a substitute for advice from a doctor, registered dietitian, or qualified healthcare professional.
You are responsible for deciding whether and how to use any recommendation provided by the app.
E. Food Logs and Meal Information
We may collect food and meal log information, including:
- meal type
- food or recipe name
- food type
- portion, quantity, measure, or weight
- calories and nutrition values
- consumed date/time
- user notes
- saved recipes or meal selections
Nutrition values may be estimated and may depend on food databases, recipe logic, user inputs, and preparation assumptions.
F. Weight Progress Data
If you use weight tracking features, we may collect:
- start weight
- goal weight
- current weight entries
- entry dates
- progress timestamps
G. Recipe Generation Inputs and Outputs
Healthy Nutri may provide a recipe generation feature.
When you use this feature, you may provide:
- a recipe name or recipe prompt
- one or more ingredients
- food preferences or other recipe-related input
The backend may send relevant recipe prompt and ingredient information to an AI service provider, including OpenAI, to generate recipe instructions or recipe text.
Generated recipe content may be inaccurate, incomplete, unsuitable for some diets, or inappropriate for certain allergies, religious requirements, medical conditions, pregnancy, or individual health needs. You should review and verify generated recipes before using them.
Do not submit sensitive personal information in recipe prompts unless you are comfortable with it being processed for recipe generation.
H. Feedback Messages
If you send feedback through the app, we may collect:
- your feedback message
- account/contact context, if attached
- timestamps
- technical context needed to respond to or debug the issue
Feedback is used to improve the app and respond to user issues.
I. Search and Usage Analytics
We may collect app usage analytics to understand trends, performance, and product quality. This may include:
- event names
- page/screen context
- device/platform context
- search IDs or internal request IDs
- items loaded
- whether more items were available
- API latency
- timestamps
- logged-in user ID or pseudonymous user/account context, where applicable
This analytics data is used to improve the app and is not intended to be sold to advertisers.
J. Voice / Audio Data
If voice search or voice input is active, audio may be processed to convert speech into text.
As of this draft, Healthy Nutri does not store voice audio in its backend after processing.
If audio is sent to the backend or a third-party AI/speech service provider for transcription, it may be processed transiently for that purpose.
K. Device, Network, and Technical Information
We may collect limited technical data needed for security, debugging, and analytics, such as:
- IP address
- user agent
- app page or screen information
- platform/device context
- API latency
- error or performance logs

3. Use of AI Service Providers
Healthy Nutri may use AI service providers, including OpenAI, for features such as recipe generation and speech/transcription, if voice features are active.
When such features are used, relevant user inputs may be transmitted to the AI service provider for processing. For recipe generation, this may include recipe prompts, recipe names, ingredient names, preferences, and generated recipe instructions.
Users should avoid entering sensitive personal information into recipe prompts or voice prompts unless they are comfortable with such information being processed for the requested feature.
4. Sharing of Information
We do not sell user personal data.
We may share or process information with service providers needed to operate the app, such as:
- AWS or other cloud hosting providers
- Apple/TestFlight and App Store Connect
- email/support providers
- OpenAI or other AI providers for recipe generation or speech/transcription features
- analytics, logging, or debugging providers, if used
The app team should maintain an updated internal list of third-party providers and SDKs.
5. Legal Basis / Consent
We process personal data to provide app features requested by users, maintain user accounts, protect security, improve the app, and comply with applicable obligations.
Where consent is required, we request it before processing personal data for the stated purpose. By creating an account or using a specific feature, you consent to the collection and processing needed to provide that feature.
You may withdraw consent or request deletion by contacting reclaimnative@gmail.com. If you withdraw consent for essential processing, some or all app features may no longer be available.
6. Security
Healthy Nutri uses reasonable safeguards to protect user information. These include password hashing, authenticated user sessions, HTTPS API access, backend access controls, and separation of user data by user/account context.
However, no app, server, database, or internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. Users are responsible for keeping their account credentials confidential and for promptly notifying us if they suspect unauthorized account access.
7. Data Retention and Deletion
We retain personal data for as long as needed to provide app services, maintain account security, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, debug issues, and support legitimate operational purposes.
Users may request account or personal data deletion by contacting:
