Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 27, 2026

Privacy Policy

HabitHound ("we," "our," or "us") provides an AI meal-scanning and nutrition logging app for iPhone. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you use the app or visit habithound.me.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following information when you use HabitHound:

  • Account and support details you choose to provide, such as an email address.
  • Subscription status and App Store transaction metadata needed to confirm paid access.
  • Meal content you choose to scan, including images, text, or voice input, so we can analyze the meal.
  • Device and app data such as app version, device identifiers used for abuse protection, and general diagnostics.
  • Privacy-safe usage metrics such as scan type, success or failure, latency, model used, and policy version.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • Provide AI meal analysis and nutrition logging.
  • Confirm subscription access and protect against abuse or circumvention.
  • Operate, secure, debug, and improve the service.
  • Measure usage patterns in aggregate so we can set fair limits and pricing.
  • Respond to support requests.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information.

We may share information only with service providers that help us operate the app, including:

  • Apple, for App Store subscription processing and entitlement checks.
  • Cloudflare, for hosting, delivery, and server-side request processing.
  • OpenAI or other model providers, when required to analyze the meal content you submit.

We do not send raw images, transcripts, or prompts to analytics logs.

4. Retention and Security

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, including legal, operational, and security needs. We use reasonable safeguards to protect data in transit and at rest, but no system is perfectly secure.

5. Your Choices

You can manage camera, microphone, and Apple Health permissions in iOS, and you can manage subscriptions through Apple’s subscription settings. To request help with your data, email privacy@habithound.me.

6. Children

HabitHound is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

7. Updates

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version here with an updated effective date.
