Calaro Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 23, 2026  ·  Last updated: August 23, 2026

Calaro is a calorie and nutrition tracking app built and run by an independent developer based in Saudi Arabia ("I" or "my" below). Calaro is not a company.

This policy explains what data the app collects, why, and what control you have over it.

1. What Calaro collects

DataDetails
AccountEmail address and name, if you sign in with Google or create an account.
ProfileAge, sex, height, weight, activity level, and your calorie or macro goals.
Food logsMeals and drinks you log, portions, calories, macros, water, and dietary preferences.
Photos and scansMeal photos you take and barcodes you scan, used to identify food.
ProgressWeight entries over time.
Device and usageDevice model, OS version, app version, language, screens opened, and crash reports.
Approximate locationCountry inferred from your IP address. Calaro does not collect GPS location.
PurchasesSubscription status from Google Play. I never see your card or bank details.
Weight, body measurements, and food logs can reveal health information, so this data is treated as sensitive. It is used to run the app for you — never to build advertising profiles.

2. How the data is used

I do not sell your data. I do not share your food logs, weight, or photos with advertisers or data brokers.

3. AI food recognition

When you photograph a meal or describe it in text, that content is sent to OpenAI to estimate the nutrition. OpenAI processes it as my service provider under the OpenAI Privacy Policy. Photos are used for analysis only.

The results are estimates. They can be wrong, especially for mixed dishes, home cooking, hidden oils, and unusual portions. Treat every number as an approximation.

4. Who the data is shared with

ServicePurpose
Google FirebaseAccount sign-in, database storage, analytics, and crash reporting
OpenAIFood recognition from photos and text
Google Play BillingPayments and subscription management
Nutrition databasesLook up food and barcode data (public sources such as Open Food Facts and USDA)

Data may also be disclosed if legally required — for example, to comply with a valid court order or investigate fraud or abuse.

5. Where the data goes

I am based in Saudi Arabia, and the services above store data on servers in the United States and other countries. Your information may therefore be processed outside your country. Where the law requires it, transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or the provider's approved certification.

6. How long data is kept

Account and logsAs long as your account is active
Meal photosSent to OpenAI for analysis and not stored on my servers afterwards
Deleted accountsRemoved within 30 days; backups clear within 90 days
Analytics and crash dataUp to 14 months
Purchase recordsAs long as needed for tax and refund purposes

7. Deleting your account

You can delete your account and all its data at any time:

This removes your profile, food logs, weight history, and photos. Deleting the app from your phone does not delete your account data — use one of the methods above.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you can ask to access, correct, export, or delete your data, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent. You will never be penalised for asking.

Email admin@ahaai.com and I will respond within 30 days. I may need to confirm the request came from you.

Specific regions:

9. Security

Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and access to the backend is restricted. Being honest about the limit: no app can guarantee perfect security. Use a strong password and keep your device locked. If a breach affects your data, you will be notified as the law requires.

10. Children

Calaro is not for children under 13 (under 16 in the EEA and UK). If a child has created an account, email me and it will be deleted.

11. Not medical advice

Calaro is a tracking tool, not a medical service. Nothing in the app is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Talk to a doctor or dietitian before making significant dietary changes — especially if you are pregnant, under 18, or managing a medical condition.

12. Changes

This policy may be updated as the app changes. The date at the top will change, and significant updates will be announced in the app or by email. Continued use means you accept the revised policy.
