What this policy covers
This policy covers the FODI mobile app and the fodi.life website. When we say "we", we mean the FODI team that operates the service.
By using the app or the site you agree to what is written here. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.
What we collect
We collect the following, and every item has a clear operational purpose:
- Account data: your phone number. It is how you sign in, and we ask for no password.
- Your profile: name, gender, date of birth, height, weight, target weight, activity level and goal.
- Your daily logs: the meals you record with their calories and nutrients, your weight entries, and your streak.
- Food photos: the pictures you take for meal analysis, and the products whose barcode you scan.
- Your chats with FODI: the messages you write and the replies, so a conversation stays connected.
- Health data you choose to enter: such as blood glucose readings or training sessions, if you use those sections.
- Activity data: your step count and device motion, if you grant permission.
- Technical data: device model, operating system and language, plus crash logs used to improve stability.
Device permissions
The app asks for specific permissions. Each one is optional and can be refused or withdrawn later in your device settings. Refusing a permission disables only the feature attached to it, never the whole app.
- Camera: to photograph your meal and scan product barcodes.
- Photo library: to pick a meal photo you already took.
- Physical activity: to read your daily step count.
- Notifications: to remind you to log a meal and to celebrate your streak.
Why we use your data
Our basis for processing is performing the service you asked for, and your consent where consent is required, such as health data and device permissions.
- To run the service: setting your daily target, showing what you ate and what is left, and keeping your log.
- To analyse your meal photos and identify the products you scan.
- To make FODI's answers follow your actual day rather than general advice.
- To improve the accuracy of our food database and the performance of the app.
- To contact you about your service, such as a notice about your account or subscription.
- To meet obligations the law places on us.
The provider list
We keep an up to date list of the providers we use and will share it with anyone who asks. Write to info@fodi.life.
Some of these providers may be located outside your country, and your data may be transferred to and held on their servers. We work with providers who commit to recognised protection standards.
How long we keep it
We keep your data for as long as your account exists, because the value of the app is your own history.
When you delete your account, your personal data and logs are deleted. Copies may persist in backups for a limited period before they are erased in turn, and we may keep the minimum the law requires, such as billing records.
Your rights
Account deletion lives inside the app, under settings. For anything else write to info@fodi.life and we will respond within thirty days at the latest.
- Access your data and get a copy of it.
- Correct anything that is inaccurate.
- Delete your account and its data.
- Withdraw any permission you granted, from your device settings or inside the app.
- Object to a particular use, or ask us to restrict it.
Security
Traffic between your app and our servers is encrypted. Access to your data is limited to your own account, and our permission rules block any read or write from another account.
No system is perfectly secure. We take reasonable measures, and if a breach affects you we will notify you and the competent authority as the law requires.
Children
The service is not directed at anyone under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If we learn that an account belongs to a child under that age, we delete it.
If you are a parent and believe your child created an account, write to us and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the service changes. The last updated date at the top will change, and if a change is significant we will tell you inside the app before it takes effect.
