Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 17, 2026

munchwise ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and authentication credentials through our authentication provider (Clerk).

Profile Information: Age, height, weight, gender, fitness goals, and activity level that you voluntarily provide to personalize your experience.

Health & Fitness Data:

  • Nutrition data: Food logs, calorie intake, macro nutrient breakdowns, and meal photos you submit for AI analysis.
  • Sleep data: Sleep duration, quality, bedtime, wake time, and sleep factors you log or sync from Apple Health / Health Connect.
  • Activity data: Step counts and calories burned synced from Apple Health (iOS) or Health Connect (Android).

Device Information: Device type, operating system version, and app version for crash reporting and performance monitoring.

Camera & Microphone: We access your camera to photograph meals and your microphone to record food descriptions for AI nutrition analysis. These are only accessed when you actively use these features and with your explicit permission.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • Provide personalized nutrition tracking, sleep analysis, and fitness insights
  • Calculate BMI, daily calorie goals, and macro nutrient targets
  • Generate AI-powered nutrition analysis from food photos and voice descriptions
  • Provide AI-powered sleep insights and recommendations
  • Send notifications for meal reminders, sleep schedules, and goal achievements
  • Monitor app stability and fix crashes via Sentry (anonymized crash reports)

3. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored securely on our servers. Sensitive authentication tokens are stored using your device's secure storage (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore). We use HTTPS encryption for all data transmission between the app and our servers.

4. Third-Party Services

  • Clerk: Authentication and user management.
  • Sentry: Crash reporting and error monitoring (anonymized).
  • Apple Health / Health Connect: We read and write health data only with your explicit permission. This data stays on your device unless you choose to sync it.
  • Expo: Push notification delivery.

5. Health Data

We treat all health and fitness data with the highest level of care:

  • Health data is never sold to third parties
  • Health data is never used for advertising
  • Health data is only shared with third parties as necessary to provide the service (e.g., AI analysis)
  • You can delete your health data at any time from within the app

6. Data Retention

We keep your account, profile and health data for as long as your munchwise account exists. Food logs, meal photos, sleep, activity and weight entries are kept until you delete them or delete your account. You can remove an individual entry, or your health data, from within the app at any time.

When you delete your account, we delete your data in one operation: profile, food and nutrition history, sleep and activity, recipes and pantry, lab results and journal entries, body measurements and progress photos, club memberships, feed posts, sessions, payment records and staff rows — together with every stored image those records referenced. Clubs you own are deleted with them. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone. Copies held in routine encrypted backups roll off within 30 days.

Anonymised crash reports held by Sentry contain no health data and expire on Sentry's own retention schedule. We do not retain your data for advertising, and we never sell health data.

7. Your Rights

  • Access: You can view all your data within the app at any time.
  • Correction: You can update your profile and health data entries.
  • Deletion: You can delete your account yourself in the app, under Settings → Account → Delete Account. This erases the data listed in section 6 and closes your sign-in account. You can also email us at connect@kraftbyte.com and we will delete your account and its data for you within 30 days.
  • Portability: You can export everything we hold about you as a machine-readable JSON file, at any time, under Settings → Account → Export my data.

8. Children's Privacy

Our app is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy within the app and updating the effective date.
