Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 31, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Eatgoal collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you use the Eatgoal mobile app, website, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). Please read this policy carefully.

1. Who We Are

Eatgoal is a nutrition and wellness platform that helps users track food intake, macros, calories, activity, supplements, weight trends, and mood check-ins.

App name: EatGoal

Bundle ID: com.eatgoal.app

Platforms: iOS and Android

Developer: Michael Andreas (hello@michaelandreas.co.uk)

Controller contact: support@eatgoal.app

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following categories:

  • Account information: name, email address, authentication identifiers, and sign-in provider details.
  • Profile information: date of birth, sex/gender, height, current weight, goal weight, and profile avatar.
  • Health and body data: weight history, body measurements (waist, hips, arms, chest), and selected female health data such as menstrual cycle details and menopause status where provided.
  • Nutrition and food data: food logs, brand/quantity entries, barcode scan results, calories, macros, fiber, sugar, sodium, meal type, and meal history.
  • Lifestyle and goals data: primary goal, target pace/timeline, activity level, training frequency, dietary style, allergies, intolerances, disliked foods, weekly schedule patterns, cooking preferences, budget, and planning style.
  • Check-in data: mood, energy, hunger score, and evening check-in responses.
  • Device and usage data: app version, device type, operating system, language, IP address, push preferences, and Expo/FCM push tokens.
  • Local-only data: selected streak and milestone data may be stored locally on your device and not synced to servers.
  • Support data: messages and attachments you share with support.

3. Information From Integrations and Third Parties

Depending on your settings, we may receive information from integrations and providers such as:

  • Apple HealthKit (iOS) and Health Connect (Android): read-only step and activity data when permission is granted.
  • USDA FoodData Central, Open Food Facts, and FatSecret: food and barcode reference metadata.
  • Apple Sign-In and Google Sign-In: name and email during account creation or sign-in flows.

We only access third-party data needed to provide the feature you enabled, and you can revoke integrations from your device or account settings where supported.

4. Camera, Voice, and AI Features

If you use features such as AI Vision food logging or voice meal logging, the content you submit (for example, photos, spoken meal descriptions, and related metadata) may be processed by Eatgoal and approved service providers to deliver those features.

Food photos used with AI Vision may be sent to Anthropic Claude API in base64 format for analysis. EatGoal stores the parsed nutrition result, not the raw photo used for analysis.

Voice meal logs are transcribed on-device and only the resulting text is sent for parsing. Raw voice audio is not stored by EatGoal for this feature.

Meal plan generation uses profile parameters such as age range, goal, and dietary preferences. Submitted content is not used by EatGoal for advertising profiling.

5. How We Use Information

We use information for the following purposes:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Services.
  • Calculate nutrition summaries, trends, recommendations, and wellness insights.
  • Power search, scan, vision, and voice logging capabilities.
  • Synchronize data across devices and accounts.
  • Respond to support requests and communicate service updates.
  • Detect fraud, abuse, and technical issues; secure the platform.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

6. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK)
