Privacy Policy for DailyCal Lite
Date: March 21, 2026
DailyCal Lite ("we", "our", or "the app") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the app.
1. Information We Collect
DailyCal Lite does not require user accounts and does not collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, or location.
However, the app may process limited, non-personal data in order to function:
- Barcode Data: When you scan a food item, the barcode number is sent to third-party food databases to retrieve nutritional information.
- Food Search Data: When using food search or AI-powered features, search queries may be sent to external services to return results.
This information is used solely to provide app functionality and is not used to identify you.
2. How Your Information Is Used
The limited data described above is used only to:
- Retrieve food and nutritional information
- Provide barcode scanning functionality
- Improve accuracy of food search results
We do not use your data for:
- Advertising
- Tracking across apps or websites
- Building user profiles
3. Data Storage
- Food entries and app data you create are stored locally on your device unless otherwise explicitly stated.
- We do not require accounts and do not maintain a central user database of personal information.
4. Third-Party Services
DailyCal Lite uses third-party services to provide food data:
- Public food databases (such as barcode lookup services)
- Backend functions used to retrieve nutritional data
These services may receive limited data (such as barcode numbers or search queries) strictly to fulfill your request.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information.
Data is only transmitted to third-party services as necessary to provide core app functionality (e.g., retrieving food information).
6. Children's Privacy
DailyCal Lite does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
7. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information. Since most data is stored locally on your device and no personal accounts are required, your privacy risk is minimized.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be reflected on this page with a revised effective date.
