Privacy Policy

Key points

• An ongoing photo log of your meals may reveal your eating habits and health status. We treat this information as sensitive health data.
• With your consent, we send meal photos and text to AI providers in the United States for nutritional analysis.
• We operate from Japan and store your data on servers in Japan.
• We delete original meal images immediately after analysis and keep only small thumbnails for your food log.
• We do not sell your personal information or use it for advertising.

1. Information we collect

We collect the following information when you use Yummeee, subject to the consent choices described in Section 2:

• Account information: Your Google account identifier, email address, and display name when you sign in with Google.
• Meal photos: Photos you take or upload. After analysis, we delete the originals and retain thumbnails approximately 320 pixels on the longest side. A series of meal photos may reveal information about your health.
• Health and nutrition information: Meal logs, meal descriptions, estimated Calories and nutrients, weight, height, sex, age, activity level, goals, and health concerns you enter, such as blood pressure or blood sugar.
• Payment information: Paid plan registrations and billing status. Stripe processes credit card numbers. We do not store credit card numbers on our servers.
• Usage information: Sign-in session cookies, access logs, device and browser information, and activity history.

2. Your consent

In Settings, we ask you to separately agree to our Terms of Service, consent to the collection and use of your health data, and consent to sending information to external AI providers. Information sent for AI analysis may include meal photos, meal descriptions, and summaries of your logs.

We do not collect health data before you consent to its collection, and we do not send information to external AI providers before you consent to that transmission.

You may withdraw your consent in Settings at any time. Withdrawing consent to health data collection stops new collection. Withdrawing consent to external AI transmission stops new transmissions. Your existing logs remain until you delete your account, subject to the retention periods in Section 7 and your deletion rights in Section 10. Withdrawing consent does not itself delete existing logs.

3. How we use information

We use information to:

• Analyze meal photos and text, estimate Calories and nutrients, and maintain your food log.
• Display your nutritional balance in relation to your goals and health concerns, and provide general dietary information with supporting sources.
• Verify your identity, manage your account, and process paid plan charges and billing.
• Prevent misuse, improve service quality and the reliability of estimates, and respond to support requests.
• Build and improve our packaged food nutrition database using product nutrition values extracted from photos. For this shared database, we retain and share only de-identified product information, without your images or information identifying you or showing who ate the food.

4. Where data is stored and who receives it

Yummeee is operated from Japan, and your data is stored on servers in Japan. Using Yummeee involves transferring information to Japan. With your consent, meal photos and text are also sent to AI providers in the United States.

The following providers receive information needed for their services:

• OpenAI, L.L.C. and Anthropic, PBC — United States: Meal photos, text, and log summaries for nutritional analysis.
• Stripe, Inc., including its Link service — United States and Ireland: Information needed to process payments, handle taxes, and provide transaction support, with Link acting as merchant of record.
• Google — United States: Information needed for Google sign-in and Google Play purchases and subscription management.
• Open Food Facts: Only the scanned barcode, such as a UPC, to retrieve packaged food information. We do not send meal photos or information about you or who ate the food. Results are labeled “External data” because we have not verified them.

We do not sell personal information, use it for advertising, or use third-party analytics tools.

5. Sharing you have agreed to

When you consent to sending information to a third party, that party handles the information under its own privacy policy. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for that third party’s handling of information you have agreed to share. This limitation does not waive any rights or obligations that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.

6. Other disclosures

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may disclose information to comply with legal requirements or valid legal requests, protect our rights or the rights and safety of others, or transfer the business through a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale. Any transfer of personal information remains subject to applicable privacy requirements.

We may share de-identified product nutrition values as part of our packaged food database. This information does not identify you or show who ate a product. We do not share your photos for this purpose.

7. Retention and deletion

We retain information according to the following periods:

• Meal photos: We delete original images immediately after analysis and retain only thumbnails. Photos associated with entries you have not confirmed are automatically deleted, normally within 48 hours.
• Active accounts: We retain your logs, profile, and related information for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, subject to your privacy rights.
• Account deletion: When you request account deletion, your images, logs, profile, and other account data are permanently deleted 30 days later, except for records we must retain by law. You may sign in during those 30 days to cancel the deletion.
• Backups: Backups are deleted after 30 days.
• Deletion requests: We complete deletion requests within 45 days.
• Server logs: We retain server logs for up to 30 days.
• Inactive accounts: Once 180 days have passed since your last use, we may notify you by email that we plan to delete your account and its data. Signing in within 30 days of that notice cancels the deletion.
• Accounts without logs: We may delete an account with no logs 30 days after registration without notice.
• Required records: We retain records required by law, including automatic renewal consent records, for the legally required period.

8. Security

We use encrypted connections through HTTPS, access controls, and limits on the information we retain, including deleting original meal images after analysis. These measures help protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, and damage.

No method of transmitting or storing information is completely secure, and we do not guarantee the security of your information. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for unauthorized access, disclosure, loss, or damage. This limitation does not exclude any responsibility that applicable law requires us to accept.

9. Cookies and site statistics

We use session cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, but sign-in and other features may become unavailable.

We do not use third-party analytics tools, including Google Analytics, or send browsing activity to outside analytics providers. We collect the following site statistics on our own servers:

• Page view counts: We count views by date, page, and referral source. These statistics do not contain IP addresses, browser information, or visitor identifiers, and do not track individual visitors. Separate operational access logs are described in Sections 1 and 7.
• Referral sources: We record referral parameters, such as utm_source, or the referring site’s hostname. We do not record search terms or full referring URLs.
• Referral source cookie: We store your referral source in your browser for up to 30 days. If you register, we record that source once in your account to understand how you found Yummeee. We do not store your browsing history.

10. Your privacy rights

You may request access to your personal information, corrections or additions, deletion, or a stop to its use or sharing. You may also withdraw consent and request a list of the third parties that have received your information.

To submit a request, please email support@us.yummeee.com. We verify your identity before fulfilling a request and respond in accordance with applicable law. You may also withdraw consent directly in Settings.

If we deny your request, you may appeal by emailing the same address with “APPEAL” in the subject line. We will review the appeal and explain our decision. You may also contact your state attorney general, including if you remain dissatisfied after an appeal.

We do not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights. Features that require health data or AI analysis depend on your consent to the relevant collection or transmission.

11. Consumer health data

This section provides our consumer health data disclosures for Washington’s My Health My Data Act and Nevada’s consumer health data law.

• Categories: Meal photos and descriptions, eating habits reflected in your logs, estimated Calories and nutrients, weight, height, sex, age, activity level, goals, and health concerns you provide. These records and estimates may reveal information about your health.
• Sources: Information you enter or upload, and estimates and summaries generated from that information through Yummeee and its AI analysis providers.
• Purposes: To analyze and record meals, estimate nutrition, display trends and progress toward your goals, provide general dietary information, support you, protect the service, and improve service quality and estimates.
• Recipients: With your consent, OpenAI, L.L.C. and Anthropic, PBC receive meal photos, text, and log summaries for analysis. Other providers listed in Section 4 receive only the information described there. Other disclosures may occur as described in Section 6, where permitted by law.
• No sale or advertising use: We do not sell consumer health data or use it for advertising.
• Your choices and rights: You may request access, correction, deletion, and a list of recipients, and may withdraw consent to collection or sharing. Please use Settings or contact support@us.yummeee.com as described in Section 10. Withdrawing consent stops new collection or transmission covered by that consent; it does not itself delete existing logs. You may request deletion separately.

12. Age requirement

Yummeee is available only to adults age 18 or older. Its Calories and nutrient targets use adult reference values and formulas and are not intended for people who are still growing. If we learn that we have collected personal information from someone under 18, we promptly delete it.

13. Medical information

Yummeee provides general nutrition information. Its estimates and guidance are not a diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice. AI estimates may contain errors, and we do not guarantee that they are accurate or complete. For questions about medical conditions, allergies, medications, or pregnancy, please consult a physician or another qualified health professional.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in Yummeee, our information practices, or the law. We will post the revised policy with an updated date and notify you of significant changes through Yummeee. When applicable law requires new consent, we will request it before collecting, using, or sharing information under the new terms.
