Caloristas

Caloristas tracks your calories, utilising AI to detect food and drink ingredients just by taking a picture.

We also compare your progress with goals you set during onboarding, and follow standard practices for the goal calculations.

Our calculations are based on the widely adapted and accepted Mifflin-St Jeor Equation.

Caloristas Privacy Policy

When you use the Caloristas app, here's what data we collect:

During profile setup, you can register or sign in using third-party services like "Sign in with Google" or "Sign in with Apple." If you choose this option, some of your data will be managed by these third-party services according to their own terms and privacy policies. To create your basic profile, Caloristas asks for some health data to calculate goals for you. This data will never be stored by us, we only save the resulting goal - Calories per day - which can later be edited by you, the user.

You can delete your account in the settings page inside the app and also re-do your onboarding and directly modify your calories goal at any time.

When you create an entry, we store the data related to this entry securely.

Here's how we use your data:

Caloristas solely uses user data to build your diary and will never transfer it to third parties for advertising purposes.

We do not sell your data for advertising purposes.

User data may be transferred and processed outside the EU based on standard contractual clauses as the legal basis. Our cloud infrastructure provider is AWS.

Data retention and deletion:

We retain user account data, including entries, for 3 years after account deletion. User health data is deleted immediately upon account deletion. You have the right to access your data, rectify any errors, object to or restrict processing, request data portability, and request erasure of your data by contacting us.

Technical Setup: We are using AWS for our backend infrastructure and Flutter for our frontend build. Find out more here: https://aws.amazon.com/privacy/?nc1=h_ls
