Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 9, 2026
Fud AI ("we", "our", "the app") is developed by Apoorv Darshan. This privacy policy explains how your information is collected, used, and protected when you use Fud AI.
Information We Collect
Information you provide directly:
- Name, gender, date of birth, height, weight, and body fat percentage (entered during onboarding)
- Food photos taken within the app
- Food entries and nutrition data you log
- Weight log entries
- Dietary preferences and fitness goals
- Apple ID credentials (via Sign in with Apple)
Information collected automatically:
- Daily scan usage counts (for subscription limit enforcement)
- App preference settings (appearance, units, notification times)
How We Use Your Information
- AI Food Analysis: Food photos and text descriptions are sent to the Google Gemini API for nutritional analysis. Photos are processed in real time and are not stored on Google's servers beyond the API request.
- Local Storage: All food entries, weight entries, user profile data, and food photos are stored locally on your device using UserDefaults.
- iCloud Sync: If you sign in with Apple, your food entries (excluding photos), weight entries, and user profile are synced to your private iCloud database via CloudKit. This data is only accessible to you through your Apple ID.
- Apple Health: If you enable Apple Health integration, the app writes nutrition data (12 types) and body measurements to HealthKit, and reads body measurements, date of birth, and biological sex from HealthKit.
- Subscription Management: Subscription status is managed entirely by Apple through StoreKit. We do not process or store payment information.
Information We Do NOT Collect
- We do not use any third-party analytics services (no Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or similar)
- We do not use any crash reporting services
- We do not include any advertising SDKs or ad tracking
- We do not track your behavior, location, or browsing activity
- We do not sell, share, or transfer your personal data to any third parties
- We do not operate any servers — all data is stored on your device or in your private iCloud account
