know my meals
Know My Meals is made by Samarth Mamadapur, an individual developer in the Netherlands. This policy covers consumer health data in the iPhone app, the Android version in closed testing and the free website meal estimator.
What we collect and why
- Meal descriptions, recordings, photos, ingredients, portions, nutrition estimates, corrections and eating patterns, to log food, estimate nutrition and suggest usual meals.
- Body measurements, age, sex, activity level, goals, dietary preferences and restrictions, to suggest calorie and macro targets.
- Coach questions, replies and saved notes, to answer questions about your meals and targets.
- Goal, activity level, pace and age range in usage analytics, to understand app use and fix problems. Analytics excludes food content, coach chats, height and weight.
This data comes from you and your use of the app, including estimates and patterns derived from your entries. We collect and use it with your explicit consent to provide these features.
Who receives health data
- Hosting and storage providers process your account's health data to operate the app.
- AI service providers receive meal descriptions, recordings, photos, ingredients, relevant meal history and eating patterns to transcribe speech, estimate nutrition and suggest meals. They receive profile details, targets, logged meals, coach questions and notes to answer you.
- Search providers may receive search terms based on meal descriptions or coach questions to find nutrition information.
- Analytics providers receive the limited setup answers described above, linked to random account and device identifiers.
- If you connect Claude or ChatGPT, its provider can receive logged meals, ingredients, targets and profile details. You choose whether to connect. See connection instructions and availability.
We may also disclose data when required by law or to protect rights and safety. We don't sell health data or share it for targeted advertising.
We keep text and nutrition, not recordings or meal photos. AI providers may retain submitted data for a limited time. Account-linked data stays while your account exists; deletion removes linked records from our systems and relevant service providers. Routine backups and logs expire on the providers' schedules. See retention details and international processing information.
