FoodayPrivacy Policy
This policy explains what the Fooday AI Android app ("Fooday", "the app") does with your information. Fooday is made by May Studio ("we", "us").
The short version: your food diary lives on your phone. Photos and questions leave your phone only to be analysed by Fooday's AI, so the app can name your dishes and answer you. We don't store your diary on our servers, we don't sell your data, and the app has no ads or analytics.
What the app stores on your phone
- Your meals: photos, dish names, portions, calories and nutrients, meal type and time.
- The food stickers cut out of your photos.
- Your chat with May, the in-app AI coach.
- Your settings, such as daily goals and how often May shows tips.
- Any on-device AI model you choose to download.
This data stays in the app's private storage. We can't see it. If your phone's backup service is turned on, your phone may include the app's data (except downloaded AI models) in its backup, under that service's terms.
What leaves your phone, and why
| What | Sent to | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The food photo you scan | Fooday's AI, run on a third-party cloud AI service we use | To find the dishes and estimate calories and nutrients |
| Your messages to May, plus a summary of your meals from the last 30 days | Fooday's AI, run on a third-party cloud AI service we use | So May can answer questions about your eating and suggest meals |
| A device integrity check | The security service of the app store | To make sure requests come from the real app and to stop abuse |
| A download request for an on-device AI model (only if you choose one) | The host of that model file | To download the model so the app can work offline |
These providers process the data only to deliver these features, under their own terms and privacy commitments. We don't send them your name or contact details, because the app never asks for them.
When you use the on-device model offline, photos and messages are processed on your phone and are not sent anywhere.
What we don't do
- No account or sign-in. We don't collect your name, email or phone number.
- No advertising and no advertising IDs.
- No analytics or tracking tools.
- We don't sell or share your data with data brokers.
Permissions
- Camera: to take photos of your meals. You can also pick photos from your gallery instead; the app only sees the photos you pick.
- Internet: to reach Fooday's AI and download optional models.
- Notifications: to show the progress of a model download.
Health information
What you eat can say something about your health. Fooday uses your meal data only to show your diary, insights and May's suggestions. Calories and nutrients are AI estimates, and the app does not give medical advice. See the Terms of Use.
Your choices
- Delete any meal in the app, or clear your chat with May with the clear button.
- Uninstalling the app deletes all of its data from your phone.
- Use an on-device model if you prefer that photos and chats never leave your phone (works best on phones with more memory).
Children
Fooday is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top and, for important changes, tell you in the app.
