Online version: localcalai.com/privacy

Local Cal AI (“Local Cal AI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use the Local Cal AI mobile application (iOS and Android), website, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

1. Summary

Local Cal AI is designed with a privacy-first architecture:

  • Image analysis, calorie estimation, and AI processing happen on your device
  • Your data is not sent to our servers during normal usage
  • Your content stays local unless:
    • the app crashes
    • you contact support
    • your device shares diagnostics

2. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to:

  • Local Cal AI mobile apps (iOS and Android)
  • Website (localcalai.com)
  • Support communications ([email protected])

3. Information We Collect

A. Data processed locally (not sent to us)

  • Food images
  • Text inputs/prompts
  • Calorie/nutrition estimates
  • Downloaded AI models
  • App preferences

This data is intended to remain on your device.

B. Data we may receive

1. Crash & diagnostic data

If the app crashes, limited technical data may be shared, including:

  • Device type
  • OS version
  • App version
  • Error logs
  • Performance data

We do not intentionally collect your images or food data, but crash logs may include limited technical context.

2. Support data

If you email us:

  • Email address
  • Message content
  • Attachments (if you send them)

3. Website data

The site at localcalai.com is delivered through infrastructure providers (including Cloudflare) that process technical data on our behalf when you request pages or assets. That processing may include:

  • IP address
  • Browser/device type
  • Access timestamps
  • Referrer and requested URLs

Cookies and similar technologies: We do not load third-party advertising or behavioral analytics scripts on the marketing website. Your browser may still receive strictly necessary cookies or similar signals from our hosting or security stack (for example, to mitigate abuse, deliver the site reliably, or maintain security), depending on provider configuration. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

If we introduce optional analytics, advertising, or other non-essential trackers on the website, we will update this policy and, where the law requires it, obtain consent before those technologies run.

4. How We Use Data

We use data to:

  • Fix bugs and crashes
  • Improve performance
  • Provide support
  • Ensure security
  • Comply with legal obligations

5. On-Device Processing

Local Cal AI is designed so that:

  • AI inference happens locally
  • Images are processed locally
  • No cloud inference is required

Your privacy also depends on:

  • Device security
  • Backup settings (iCloud, Google backups)
  • Third-party tools you use

6. AI Models & Third-Party Sources

Local Cal AI allows downloading and using AI models on your device.

These models may come from third-party sources (such as public model repositories) and may be governed by:

  • Separate licenses
  • Usage restrictions
  • Privacy practices

We:

  • Do not control third-party models
  • Do not guarantee their behavior or compliance
  • Recommend reviewing their terms before use

7. Sharing

We do not sell your data.

We may share limited data with:

  • Service providers (support, diagnostics, website hosting and security such as content delivery and abuse protection)
  • Platform providers (Apple, Google)
  • Legal authorities (if required)
  • Business transfers (if applicable)

8. Data Retention

  • Local data → controlled by you
  • Support/crash data → kept only as needed

9. Your Choices

You can:

  • Delete the app and all data
  • Control permissions (camera/photos)
  • Disable diagnostics sharing
  • Manage backups

10. Legal Basis (GDPR)

We process data based on:

  • Legitimate interests (app improvement)
  • Legal obligations
  • Consent (where required)

11. Children

Not intended for users under 13 (or local equivalent).

12. Health Disclaimer

This app provides estimates only and is not medical advice.

13. Security

We take reasonable measures, but no system is fully secure.

14. Your Rights

You may request:

  • Access
  • Deletion
  • Correction

15. Changes

We may update this policy. Continued use = acceptance.
