About the app

What is CaloriLens?

CaloriLens is an AI-powered nutrition tracker that turns your phone camera into an instant calorie counter. Photograph your meal — from the fridge, a restaurant plate, or a homemade dish — and our AI estimates calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, fiber, ingredients, portion size, and a health score in seconds.

No accounts. No sign-ups. No passwords. Your meal diary stays on your device, and you control what (if anything) you share with the community.

In-app languages: English and Turkish.

Free Tier

Every new install receives 3 lifetime free analyses. After those are used, free users may watch one optional rewarded ad per day to unlock one additional analysis. Otherwise, subscribe to CaloriLens Pro for unlimited scans and an ad-free experience. See Advertising for details.

No Account Required

CaloriLens does not ask you to register. The app generates a random anonymous ID on your device only. There is no email, password, or social login.

Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 29, 2026  |  Last updated: May 29, 2026

1. Introduction & Data Controller

CaloriLens ("the App") is operated by CaloriLensApp ("we," "us," or "our"). We are the data controller responsible for personal data processed in connection with the App.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, and your rights with respect to that information.

By using CaloriLens, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Policy. If you disagree, please stop using the App and uninstall it.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information Stored Locally on Your Device

The following data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly share a meal to the community Discover feed:

• Anonymous user ID (UUID): A randomly generated identifier created on first launch. It is not linked to your name, email, or any other identifying information.
• Meal history: Analysis results (food name, calorie count, macro breakdown, ingredients, health score), timestamps, and optionally a local path to the saved image.
• Analysis quota: Number of free analyses used and whether today's rewarded-ad credit was claimed or used.
• Subscription cache: Whether CaloriLens Pro is active (verified against RevenueCat on connection).
• App preferences: Daily calorie goal, onboarding completion flag, notification on/off toggle.

2.2 Information Sent to Third Parties

Certain features require sending data to external services:

• Meal images for analysis: When you tap "Analyse," your meal photo is transmitted securely over HTTPS to Google's Gemini API (Gemini 2.5 Flash) for nutrition estimation and content moderation. Google processes this image in accordance with its own data policies.
• Community posts (Discover): When you voluntarily share a meal, the image is uploaded to a Supabase storage bucket (food-images) and metadata (anonymous ID, food name, calorie count, macros, ingredients, timestamp) is written to the food_posts table in our Supabase database.
• Subscription status: We use RevenueCat to manage in-app subscription entitlements. RevenueCat receives your anonymous user ID and subscription transaction data. Payment card details are handled exclusively by Apple or Google — we never see them.
• Rewarded advertising (AdMob): If you are not a Pro subscriber and have used your 3 free analyses, you may optionally watch a rewarded video ad served by Google AdMob. AdMob and its partners may collect device identifiers, IP address, ad interaction data, and similar technical data to deliver and measure ads, in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. CaloriLens does not receive your payment information through ads. You can opt out of personalised ads in your device settings (see Advertising).

2.3 Information We Do NOT Collect

• No email address, name, or password (no account registration).
• No precise or approximate GPS location.
• No contacts, SMS history, call logs, or browsing history.
• No microphone recordings (camera plugin may request microphone permission on iOS but it is not used for recording).
• No Apple Health or Google Fit data — these services are not integrated in the current version of the App.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To perform AI-powered nutrition analysis of your meal photos.
• To display and store your personal meal diary on-device.
• To show the community Discover feed when you share a meal.
• To manage and verify your CaloriLens Pro subscription.
• To deliver local notification reminders (if you enable them).
• To show optional rewarded ads to free-tier users (via Google AdMob) and grant daily analysis credits after completed views.
• To moderate content for community safety.
• To improve and debug the App.

4. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom, we rely on the following legal bases:

• Contract performance: Processing necessary to provide the features you request (e.g., running analysis, managing your subscription).
• Legitimate interests: Content moderation, security, and service improvement — balanced against your privacy rights.
• Consent: Sending optional notification reminders. You can withdraw consent at any time via App or OS settings.

5. Sharing & Third-Party Processors

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information to any third party for marketing purposes.

6. International Data Transfers

CaloriLensApp is operated from the Republic of Türkiye. Third-party processors (Google Gemini, Google AdMob, Supabase, RevenueCat, Apple, Google Play) may process data in the United States or other countries. These processors maintain their own security and compliance programmes. Where required, transfers outside the EEA rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards established by those providers.

7. Data Retention

• Local device data: Retained until you uninstall the App or clear app data manually.
• Community posts (Supabase): Retained until you request deletion via email or CaloriLensApp removes the post.
• Analysis images sent to Gemini: Processed transiently; retention is governed by Google's API data policies.
• Subscription records (RevenueCat): Retained as required for subscription management and legal obligations.

8. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data. Meal images are transmitted to Google's API over HTTPS (TLS encryption). Supabase access is restricted by access control policies. No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights & Choices

9.1 General Rights

• Access & portability: You may request a copy of data we hold about you.
• Correction: You may ask us to correct inaccurate data.
• Deletion: You may request deletion of your data. Uninstalling the App deletes local data. For community posts, email us.
• Notifications: Disable anytime in the App (Settings → Notifications) or your device OS settings.
• Subscription: Cancel anytime via your Apple or Google account settings.

9.2 EEA / UK Users — GDPR Rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data. You also have the right to data portability and to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. To exercise these rights, contact isml.krks46@gmail.com.

9.3 California Users — CCPA Rights

California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected and disclosed, to request deletion, and to opt out of the sale of personal information. CaloriLensApp does not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, contact isml.krks46@gmail.com.

10. Children

CaloriLens is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in EU member states where applicable under GDPR). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child under the relevant minimum age has submitted data to us, please contact us at isml.krks46@gmail.com and we will take steps to delete the information.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised Policy on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. For material changes, we may also provide in-app notice. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.

12. Contact

Advertising

Advertising & Google AdMob

CaloriLens uses Google AdMob to show rewarded video ads to free-tier users. Ads help support the app while keeping core features accessible without a subscription.

When ads appear

• Ads are shown only to users who are not subscribed to CaloriLens Pro.
• After your 3 lifetime free analyses are used, you may be offered a rewarded ad when you tap Take photo or Choose from gallery.
• Watching the ad is optional. If you complete the video, you receive one analysis credit for that calendar day.
• You can earn at most one ad-based analysis per day. Once that credit is used (or already earned today), further scans require CaloriLens Pro until the next day.
• CaloriLens Pro removes all advertising.

Ad format

CaloriLens uses rewarded ads only — short video ads you choose to watch in exchange for an analysis credit. We do not show banner ads, interstitial ads, or ads on the Discover feed.

Data & third parties

Google AdMob may collect and process data such as advertising ID (IDFA on iOS / GAID on Android), IP address, device type, OS version, app version, ad impressions, and interactions to serve, measure, and prevent fraud on ads. This processing is governed by:

• Google Privacy Policy
• How Google uses data in advertising
• AdMob & user data (Google Help)

CaloriLensApp does not sell your personal information to advertisers. We do not receive payment card or bank details through AdMob.

Opt out of personalised ads

You can limit ad personalisation on your device:

• iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Apple Advertising → turn off Personalised Ads; or Settings → Privacy → Tracking
• Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalisation

Opting out may not remove ads entirely for free users who choose the rewarded-ad path, but ads may be less relevant.

Publisher information

Ad-free with Pro Upgrade anytime under Settings → Premium.
