1. Introduction and Consent

Eate8 ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information. By creating an account and using the App, you explicitly consent to the collection and use of your data as described in this Privacy Policy. Eate8 complies with all applicable Google Play Developer Policies regarding sensitive user data.

2. Information We Collect

We collect data strictly necessary to provide our core health tracking and statistical services.

A. Personal Data

To secure your account and synchronize data across devices, we collect:

• Email Address (via Authentication)
• Name (for profile personalization)

B. Health and Fitness Data (Sensitive Data)

To deliver the core functionality of the App (micronutrient tracking and statistical analysis), you voluntarily provide:

• Body Metrics: Weight, height, age, and gender.
• Dietary Data: Food logs, calorie intake, and specific nutrient goals (e.g., Biotin, Zinc).

Usage & Restrictions: All health and fitness data is provided voluntarily by the user and is used solely to deliver the core functionality of the App (analytics and tracking). We do NOT use health or fitness data for advertising purposes.

C. Device, Usage, and Diagnostic Data

• Device Information & Diagnostics: We collect device models, operating system versions, and crash reports to assist with debugging and app stability. We use third-party diagnostic tools (such as Sentry) to automatically capture error logs. If the app crashes, this report may include your account identifier (email or User ID) and the specific action that caused the error to help our engineering team fix the issue. This data is strictly used for improving app stability.
• Advertising ID: We collect the Android Advertising ID. This is used strictly by our third-party advertising partners (e.g., Google AdMob) to provide and measure advertisements. Users can reset or limit ad personalization at any time through their device settings.

D. Location Data

We may request access to coarse location (City).

Usage: Location data, if granted, is used only for regional feature customization (e.g., localizing food units) and is never stored or tracked continuously.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Core Services: To calculate "Star Food" rankings, visualize nutritional statistics, and track daily progress.
• Notifications: To send meal reminders and "Roast" messages. Users can control or disable these notifications at any time through device settings.
• AI Meal Analysis: When you log a meal via text, the description is securely transmitted to and processed by artificial intelligence models (such as Google Gemini) to calculate nutritional values. We do not sell this input data, and it is strictly used to return the nutritional breakdown to your personal diary.
• Advertising: To display third-party advertisements. Health data is excluded from ad targeting.

4. Data Storage and Security

• Storage: Your data is securely stored on Supabase, an enterprise-grade cloud provider.
• Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption (SSL) to protect data in transit.
• Disclaimer: While we use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

5. Third-Party Services

We share data with trusted third parties solely for app functionality:

• Supabase: For secure database hosting and authentication.
• Google AdMob: For displaying advertisements (utilizing Advertising ID only).
• Sentry: For capturing crash reports and monitoring app stability.
• Google Gemini: For processing text inputs to estimate nutritional data.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

• Retention: We retain your data only as long as your account is active.
• Deletion: You have the right to delete your account at any time. You can delete your account directly within the App by navigating to Settings > Delete Account. This action permanently wipes your data from our servers.
