Health Disclaimer

The App provides information and feedback designed for educational and general informational purposes only. You understand and agree that any information, guidance, or feedback provided by the App is generated without a medical examination, a comprehensive review of your personal health history, or an individualized diet review by a qualified healthcare professional. Therefore, the content provided by the App cannot and should not be interpreted as medical advice, medical nutrition therapy, or personalized nutrition counseling. The App is not intended to diagnose, manage, treat, or cure any disease or medical condition. The feedback provided is based on the information you input, and we cannot guarantee the suitability or effectiveness of such feedback for your individual circumstances.

We are not a medical organization, and our personnel cannot provide you with medical advice. Nothing contained within this App should be construed as a substitute for consultation, evaluation, or treatment from a qualified medical professional. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or before making any significant changes to your diet, exercise routine, dietary supplement consumption, or other health-related behaviors. Particular caution is advised if you are considering actions such as significantly altering your caloric intake or undertaking any form of fasting. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, currently taking medication, or have any pre-existing medical condition, disease, or disorder that may be affected by changes in nutrition, metabolism, or body image, it is imperative that you consult with a qualified healthcare professional before and throughout your use of the App. This App is intended for use by healthy adults and is not designed for minors.

By using this App, you acknowledge that there are inherent risks associated with manipulating food intake, body weight, and physical activity habits, as well as risks associated with the use of any health-related application. You knowingly and voluntarily accept and assume full responsibility for these risks and dangers, and all other risks and dangers that could arise from, or occur during, your use of this App. You agree to hold us, our officers, partners, affiliates, employees, and agents harmless from any and all liability, responsibility, expenses, and claims for damages, including attorney's fees and costs, incurred due to or caused by your use of the App.

Consumer Health Data Privacy

We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your consumer health data. This section explains the types of consumer health data we collect, how we collect it, why we collect and use it, with whom we may share it, and your rights concerning your data.

What Consumer Health Data We Collect

To provide you with a personalized experience and the full functionality of our App, we may collect various types of consumer health data. This data is often broadly defined and can include information you voluntarily provide, data you input into the App, and data generated by the App based on your inputs. Examples of consumer health data we may collect include, but are not limited to:

  • Information you share through customer support, emails, or other communications with us, which might include details about your physical condition, medical history, dietary preferences, allergies, or health goals.
  • Data you directly input into the App, such as your body weight, height, age, gender, body measurements, nutrient intake (calories, macronutrients, micronutrients), dietary logs, exercise frequency and type, activity levels, sleep patterns, and progress photos.
  • Information related to your health goals, such as weight loss or gain targets, and fitness objectives.
  • Customized calorie targets, macronutrient programs, and other health-related recommendations generated by the App based on the data you provide.

It is important to understand that without this consumer health data, the App may not be able to provide its core personalized features and feedback. You have control over the data you provide and can choose to modify or delete your entries at any time, though doing so may impact the personalized aspects of the App.

Sources of Health Data

We collect consumer health data primarily from the following sources:

  • Directly from you: When you create an account, use the App's features, input data, or communicate with us.
  • Through your use of the App: The App may generate data based on your inputs and interactions with its features.

Why We Collect and Use Consumer Health Data

We collect and use your consumer health data for several purposes, all aimed at providing and improving the App and its services to you. These purposes include:

  • To provide you with the requested features and services of the App, such as personalized meal planning, activity tracking, progress monitoring, and tailored recommendations.
  • To enhance your experience with the App by customizing content and feedback to your individual needs and goals.
  • To operate, maintain, and improve the App, including developing new features and functionalities.
  • To respond to your inquiries, provide customer support, and communicate with you about your account or our services.
  • For internal research and analysis to better understand how our users interact with the App and to improve its effectiveness.

We will only use your consumer health data for the purposes for which it was collected or as otherwise permitted by law. If we intend to use your consumer health data for any purpose that is not compatible with these original purposes, such as for marketing or advertising, we will seek your explicit consent before doing so, as required by applicable law.

Our Disclosures of Health Data

We are highly protective of your consumer health data and limit its disclosure. We may share your consumer health data in the following circumstances and with the following types of third parties:

  • Service Providers: We may share your data with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as cloud hosting, data analytics, customer support platforms, and email services. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and are only permitted to use it for the specific services they provide to us.
  • Corporate Transactions: In the event of a merger, acquisition, financing, bankruptcy, dissolution, or a transfer, divestiture, or sale of all or a portion of our business or assets, your consumer health data may be shared or transferred as part of that transaction, subject to standard confidentiality agreements.
  • Legal Obligations and Safety: We may disclose your consumer health data if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to valid legal process (such as a subpoena or court order), protect our rights or property, ensure the safety of our users or the public, or prevent or stop activity we consider to be illegal or unethical.

We do not sell your consumer health data to third parties. We do not authorize any third party to collect your consumer health data over time and across different websites or online services when you use our App, except as necessary to provide the App's functionalities (e.g., analytics for app improvement).

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your consumer health data. These rights may include:

  • Right to Access: You may have the right to request access to the consumer health data we hold about you and to receive a copy of that data.
  • Right to Delete: You may have the right to request that we delete your consumer health data, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., where data retention is required by law).
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: Where we rely on your consent to process your consumer health data, you may have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
  • Right to Correct/Amend: You may have the right to request correction or amendment of inaccurate or incomplete consumer health data we hold about you.

Within the App, you generally have the ability to access, review, modify, and delete the data you have inputted. You can also typically manage your account settings and preferences. To exercise any other rights you may have, or if you have questions about your data that cannot be addressed through the App's features, please contact us using the details provided below.

If your request to exercise a right is denied, you may have the right to appeal that decision. If an appeal is unsuccessful, you may be able to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your consumer health data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain your consumer health data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to provide you with the App's services, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When your data is no longer needed for these purposes, we will securely delete or anonymize it.
