Privacy Policy& Terms of Use

Last updated: Version 1.1 · July 2026

Before You Continue

Please read this document carefully before using the CaloCalc application. By creating an account or using any feature of the app, you confirm that you have read, understood, and fully agreed to the terms described herein.

Section 01

General Information and Scope

This Privacy Policy governs the handling of personal information and the use of services offered by the CaloCalc mobile application (hereinafter, "the App"), available on iOS devices.

CaloCalc is an informational support tool designed to help users log and track their caloric intake and body weight. The App does not constitute a medical, nutritional, clinical, or healthcare service of any kind.

The App is developed and maintained by Clarity (hereinafter, "the Studio" or "Clarity"). Any reference to "Clarity," "the Studio," "we," "our team," or "the developer" in this document refers to said entity and to the individuals involved in the development and maintenance of Calo Calc.

Section 02

Personal Data We Collect

To provide its features, CaloCalc collects and processes the following types of information:

2.1 Account information

Name and email address provided when creating a user account.
Password (stored in encrypted form; Clarity never has access to your password in plain text).

2.2 Health and wellness information

Daily calorie goal set by the user.
Estimated calorie records for each food item or dish entered.
Body weight records entered manually by the user.
Daily caloric intake history with up to 12 months of retention.

2.3 Multimedia content and text

Photos of dishes captured with the camera or selected from the device's photo library.
Food descriptions entered by text or via voice transcription.
Images and voice descriptions are transmitted to external AI services solely to process the caloric analysis and are not permanently stored on our servers.

2.4 Technical data

Device identifiers and operating system version, used solely for error diagnostics.
In-app activity logs for service improvement purposes.

2.5 Language and localization

App language (English or Spanish) and device's language settings.
Used to personalize AI responses and future account-related communications; not used for advertising.

Section 03

Use of Artificial Intelligence

CaloCalc uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) models provided by Google (Gemini AI) to analyze food images, text descriptions, and voice transcriptions, with the goal of estimating the caloric content of dishes.

Important Warning

Caloric estimates generated by AI are algorithmic approximations and may differ significantly from actual nutritional values. The accuracy of the analysis depends on multiple external factors that the AI cannot control, including:

The angle, lighting, and quality of the photo provided.
Ingredients or preparation methods not visible in the image or not described by the user.
Variations in actual portion sizes.
Regional differences in recipes and the nutritional composition of foods.
Inherent limitations of AI models in recognizing specific dishes.
Updates or changes to Google's AI models that may affect results.

The user acknowledges and accepts that values displayed by CaloCalc are estimates of a purely informational nature and must not be used as the basis for medical, nutritional, or health-related decisions.

Section 04

Disclaimer — Artificial Intelligence and Health

Critical Statement

This section is fundamental to the use of the App. By continuing to use CaloCalc, the user declares having fully read and accepted the contents of this section.

CaloCalc is not a medical or clinical tool. The information presented in the App, including calorie estimates, weight charts, and any other data, is intended exclusively for informational and personal tracking purposes.

The user expressly understands and agrees that:

Results generated by AI are estimates subject to error and do not replace the judgment of a qualified healthcare or nutrition professional.
Personal calorie goals should be established based on the guidance of a certified nutritionist or physician; Clarity does not offer or validate such information.
Any dietary, weight-loss, weight-gain, or general health decisions the user makes based on CaloCalc's information are the user's sole responsibility.
CaloCalc does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or suitability of caloric estimates for any specific purpose.
Use of the App does not substitute professional medical consultation for any health condition, eating disorder, or particular clinical situation.

Section 05

Data Storage and Security

User data is stored on Google Cloud Firestore, a cloud database platform with high security standards. Access to information is protected through individual authentication; only the account holder can access their own data.

We implement the following security measures:

Encryption of data in transit via TLS/HTTPS.
Encryption of data at rest provided by Google Cloud.
Mandatory personal account authentication before accessing any data.
Firestore security rules that prevent unauthorized access between users.

Nevertheless, no digital storage system is entirely infallible. Clarity cannot provide an absolute guarantee of security against sophisticated external attacks, third-party infrastructure failures, or events beyond our control.

AI Analysis Reports

Reports generated by the AI analysis feature are not stored on any external server. The App does not upload them to iCloud or any other cloud service; they remain solely on your Apple device (iPhone or iPad). You may export the report as a PDF and share it at your own discretion.

Section 06

Data Retention

Clarity retains the user's calorie and weight history for a period of up to 12 months from the date each entry is recorded. Data older than 12 months may be automatically deleted from the system.

Upon account deletion, all information associated with the user will be permanently erased from our servers within a maximum of 30 calendar days.
