1. Introduction

Welcome to Dietnositics! Your privacy is our priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you use our web application. It applies to all users worldwide, with additional compliance for EU/EEA residents under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Dietnositics is based in California, USA, and this policy is governed by Californian law.

We may update this policy periodically. Changes will be posted here, and significant updates will be communicated via email or in-app notification.

2. Who We Are

Dietnositics is a web application that helps users analyze food ingredients to determine whether they align with their dietary needs.

Data Controller: Dietnositics, based in United States of America, operates as the Data Controller for personal data we collect directly from users.

Data Processor: We use Google Gemini as a Data Processor for ingredient analysis. All data sent to Gemini is anonymized, meaning no personally identifiable information (PII) is shared. We may also use other third-party services (e.g., cloud hosting) under data processing agreements to protect your information.

3. Data We Collect

3.1 Personal Data We Collect

• Name and Email Address: Used for billing and customer support purposes.
• Anonymized Health Preferences: Users may provide dietary or health-related preferences (e.g., ulcerative colitis, IBD), but these are never linked to a specific user in our backend system.

3.2 Data We Do NOT Collect or Store

• - Captured Photos: The app processes images but does not store them by Dietnositics.
• - User Text Input: Any text entered is used for processing but not saved by Dietnositics in a way linked to you.
• - Health Data Linking: We do not associate health-related data with your identity.

3.3 Automatically Collected Data

We may collect limited, anonymized technical data for security and analytics, such as:

• - Device type and browser information
• - IP address
• - General usage patterns to improve service performance

We may use cookies or similar technologies for basic analytics, manageable via your browser settings.

4. How We Use Your Data

• - Billing and customer support: Contractual necessity
• - Improving service quality: Legitimate interest
• - AI-based food analysis: Consent (explicit user action)

We do not use your data for marketing or advertising purposes.

5. AI Processing & Google Gemini

5.1 How AI Processing Works

Dietnositics uses Google Gemini for text analysis. All data sent is anonymized, and Gemini only processes ingredient-related text extracted from images.

5.2 User Responsibility

Users are responsible for not including personal information in text inputs or photos to ensure anonymity.

6. How We Protect Your Data

• - TLS encryption to protect data in transit.
• - Multi-factor authentication for user accounts.
• - Annual security audits to prevent data breaches.

7. Data Retention

We retain name and email while your account is active or as needed for billing and support. Data is deleted within 30 days of account closure or upon request, unless legally required otherwise. We do not store user-provided content such as photos or text input.

8. User Rights

If you are in the EU or EEA, you have the right to:

• - Access your personal data.
• - Correct inaccuracies in your data.
• - Request deletion of your data.
• - Object to processing or request data portability.
