Privacy Policy

Effective and last updated: July 26, 2026

This policy explains how LoseWeight (“LoseWeight,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) processes information when you use the LoseWeight mobile app, website, and related services (the “Service”). Contact us at vokie123@gmail.com.

1. Scope and roles

LoseWeight provides AI-assisted meal analysis, nutrition estimates, meal history, weight-goal tools, and subscription features. This policy applies to information processed by LoseWeight. Apple separately processes App Store payments and related account information under Apple’s own privacy terms.

2. Information we process

Identifiers and account information

We use anonymous user and device identifiers to maintain your session, associate your data with your installation or account, prevent abuse, and provide account functions. The app stores its app-generated anonymous identifier securely in Apple Keychain. Depending on your iCloud Keychain settings, Apple may sync it across your devices so LoseWeight can restore your anonymous account and purchase entitlements after a reinstall or device change. It is not an advertising identifier. You do not need to provide your real name for the core Service.

Profile and goal information

You may provide weight, target weight, height, birth year or age range, sex, activity level, and dietary preferences. This information helps personalize calorie and nutrition guidance.

Meal content and AI results

We process meal photos and text that you choose to submit, AI-generated meal and nutrition estimates, and the meal entries you choose to save in history. Photos are accessed only when you take a photo in the app or choose an image from your photo library.

Diagnostics and service activity

We process limited internal product events and network or server logs. These records may include an anonymous user or device identifier, feature and purchase-flow interactions, IP address, user-agent information, requested path, request timing, error status, and security signals. We use them for app functionality, aggregate product analytics, reliability, fraud prevention, security, and troubleshooting. We do not use them for advertising or cross-app tracking.

Subscriptions and transactions

We receive StoreKit subscription, transaction, and entitlement identifiers needed to verify and provide paid access. Apple processes your payment method, billing address, and payment authorization; LoseWeight does not receive or store your full payment-card details.

3. Permissions and information we do not collect

  • Camera and photo-library access are used only for photos you choose to capture or select for meal analysis. Before upload, the app decodes and re-encodes the image as a new JPEG without copying the source image’s embedded EXIF or GPS metadata.
  • LoseWeight does not request device-location access or access HealthKit, contacts, or microphone data.
  • LoseWeight does not include advertising or cross-app tracking SDKs, and we do not use your information for cross-app advertising.

4. How we use information

  • Provide, personalize, and maintain meal analysis, saved history, weight goals, and other requested features.
  • Generate AI-assisted nutrition estimates and guidance from content you submit.
  • Authenticate requests, sync entitlement status, restore purchases, and apply usage limits.
  • Diagnose errors, monitor reliability, prevent fraud or abuse, and protect users and the Service.
  • Respond to support, privacy, and account-deletion requests.
  • Comply with applicable law and enforce our Terms of Service.

Depending on where you live, our legal bases may include performing the service you request, our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Service, your consent where required, and compliance with legal obligations.

5. AI processing

Meal photos, meal text, and relevant profile context may be sent to the LoseWeight backend AI service to generate the analysis you request. AI outputs are probabilistic estimates and may be incomplete or inaccurate. Do not submit information you do not want processed for this purpose. We do not use meal content for advertising or cross-app tracking.

6. When information is disclosed

We do not sell personal information. We disclose information only as reasonably needed to:

  • Service providers: Google Cloud Platform provides hosting infrastructure, a backend AI inference service provider supports requested AI analysis, and Cloudflare R2 provides private object storage for meal images. These providers process data on our behalf or under their applicable service terms.
  • Apple: Apple processes purchases and provides transaction and entitlement information through StoreKit.
  • Legal and safety: we may disclose information if reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, investigate abuse, or protect rights, safety, and the integrity of the Service.
  • Business changes: information may transfer as part of a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality and applicable law.

7. Storage and international transfers

The core API and MySQL database currently run on Google Cloud infrastructure in Hong Kong. Meal images are stored in a private Cloudflare R2 bucket using APAC placement rather than a public image directory. Requested AI analysis may be processed by the LoseWeight backend AI service in its configured service region. Because LoseWeight is available globally and uses these service providers, information may be processed outside your country or region. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

8. Retention and account deletion

We keep profile, meal, and image data while your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You can delete your account from Settings → Delete Account in the app. Account deletion removes your LoseWeight profile, meals, and stored meal images from active systems. It also deletes internal product-event rows linked to your user or anonymous identifier, including their event properties.

To prevent deletion and recreation from resetting the free allowance, we retain only the current UTC day's completed-scan and free-scan counters until the next daily reset. We associate these counters with a keyed HMAC-SHA-256 one-way digest derived from the app-generated anonymous identifier. This short-lived record contains no raw device identifier, anonymous identifier, app-user id, or user foreign key.

We retain minimal verified StoreKit transaction and lifecycle identifiers and signed-payload digests to restore purchases and prevent replay or refunded-access regranting. We remove the deleted LoseWeight user reference from those records. We may also retain an R2 cleanup tombstone with an object key, byte count, quota window, and deletion deadline when an already-issued signed upload URL may still complete. That tombstone contains no user, profile, or meal foreign key and is removed after object cleanup and quota expiry.

Deletion may not be immediate in limited backups, and we may retain narrowly necessary records for security, dispute resolution, legal compliance, or enforcement. We restrict these records and remove or de-identify them when they are no longer needed. We do not use retained limit, purchase-integrity, or cleanup records for advertising or cross-app tracking. Deleting your LoseWeight account does not cancel an Apple subscription; cancel it separately in your Apple subscription settings.

9. Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information, including access controls, private image storage, and encrypted network transport where supported. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your choices and privacy rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing, receive a portable copy, or withdraw consent. You may update available profile fields or delete your account in the app. You may also email vokie123@gmail.com. We may request information reasonably necessary to verify that a request relates to your anonymous account. You may appeal a response or contact your local data-protection authority where applicable.

Camera and photo access can be changed in your device settings. You can manage Apple subscriptions and purchase history through your Apple account.

11. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13 and is not intended to collect personal information from them. If local law requires a higher minimum age to use a digital service without parental consent, that higher age applies. If you believe a child has provided information without valid permission, contact us so we can investigate and delete it as appropriate.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the Service or law changes. We will post the revised policy here, update the date above, and provide additional notice in the app when required. Continued use after an update is subject to the revised policy, except where consent is required.
