Privacy Policy

Last updated: 16 April 2025

1. What Data We Collect

When you use Alimentary, we may collect the following types of information:

  • Account data: Your email address when you create an account or join our mailing list.
  • Health logs: Food entries, meal timestamps, symptom logs, and severity ratings that you enter into the app.
  • Device information: Device model, operating system version, and app version for bug reporting and compatibility purposes.
  • Usage data: Anonymised, aggregated analytics (e.g. feature usage counts) to help us improve the product.

We do not collect your full name, location data, biometric data, or any financial information.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use the information we collect solely to:

  • Power the pattern-detection algorithms within the app (food trigger analysis, Gut Score calculation).
  • Personalise your in-app experience and track your progress over time.
  • Send you launch and product updates if you opted in via our mailing list.
  • Diagnose technical issues and improve app stability.

We never sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for advertising or commercial purposes.

3. Data Storage

Your health logs are stored locally on your device and, if you enable cloud sync, in your private Firebase Firestore database. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Your Firestore instance is access-controlled — only authenticated requests tied to your account can read your data.

4. Your Rights

Under the UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Export your health logs in a portable format.
  • Rectify inaccurate data.
  • Delete your account and all associated data (Settings → Delete Account in-app, or email us at support@alimentary.app).
  • Opt out of marketing emails at any time via the unsubscribe link.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@alimentary.app. We will respond within 30 days.

5. Cookies

This website is a static site and does not use cookies or any client-side tracking scripts. No analytics cookies, advertising pixels, or session storage is used.

6. Contact

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We will notify registered users of material changes via email.
