Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 August 2026 · Version 1.0

The short version. We collect what we need to run your account and log your meals — nothing more. We do not sell your data, we do not use it for advertising, and there are no tracking or analytics services on our site. Your meal descriptions and photos are sent to an AI provider only when you ask for an analysis. You can delete your account and data at any time.

3. Why we use it

  • To provide the service — create your account, calculate targets, store your logs, and sync them across your devices. Legal basis: performance of our contract with you.
  • To analyse meals — send your description or photo for AI analysis when you ask for it. Legal basis: performance of our contract, and your consent for the content you submit.
  • To take payment and manage your subscription. Legal basis: performance of our contract, and our legal obligations for accounting records.
  • To keep the service secure and prevent abuse. Legal basis: our legitimate interests.
  • To respond to you when you contact support. Legal basis: our legitimate interests.
  • To evidence your acceptance of our Terms. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in establishing the agreement between us.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it to target advertising.

4. Health-related information

What you record in OriKcal — your weight, what you eat, your goals — can reveal information about your health. We treat it accordingly:

  • You provide it voluntarily and can delete it at any time.
  • It is used to operate the features you asked for, and for nothing else.
  • It is never shared with insurers, employers, advertisers, or data brokers.
  • Where the law treats this as a special category of data, we rely on your explicit consent, given when you create an account and enter this information. You may withdraw that consent at any time by deleting your data or your account.

5. AI processing of meals and photos

When you ask OriKcal to analyse a meal, the text, transcript, or photo is transmitted to our AI provider (Anthropic) so it can be interpreted and returned as nutritional estimates. This happens only when you actively request an analysis or send a chat message.

  • Photos are resized before transmission and are not stored on our servers after analysis.
  • We do not use your meals, photos, or conversations to train AI models.
  • Please avoid capturing other people or sensitive material in the background of a meal photo, and do not type confidential information into the chat.

6. Who we share it with

We share data only with the service providers that make OriKcal work. Each processes it on our instructions.

We may also disclose information where required by law, or to establish or defend legal claims. If our business is ever transferred, your data may transfer with it, subject to this policy.

7. International transfers

Some of these providers are located outside your country, including in the United States. Where data is transferred internationally, we rely on the safeguards those providers put in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved for that purpose.

8. How long we keep it

  • Account and profile — while your account is open.
  • Meal logs and history — while your account is open, so you can see your trends.
  • Meal photos — not retained after analysis.
  • Payment and billing records — as long as tax and accounting law requires, typically several years, even after you close your account.
  • Record of Terms acceptance — kept while your account exists and for a reasonable period afterwards, so we can evidence the agreement.
  • Server logs — a short period for security and troubleshooting.

When you delete your account, your profile and logs are deleted. Records we must keep by law are retained for the required period and then removed.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct anything inaccurate
  • Delete your data ("right to be forgotten")
  • Receive a copy in a portable format
  • Object to, or ask us to restrict, certain processing
  • Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting what was done before
  • Complain to your local data protection authority

To exercise any of these, email support@orikcal.com from the address on your account. We will respond within one month.

10. Security

Data is transmitted over encrypted connections and stored with our database provider using access controls that restrict each account to its own records. Passwords are stored only in encrypted form and are never visible to us. No system is perfectly secure, but if a breach affects your data and the law requires it, we will notify you and the relevant authority.

11. Children

OriKcal is for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

12. Changes

We may update this policy. Material changes will be notified in the app or by email. The date at the top shows the current version.
