This policy explains how the independent developer of the iPhone app “MealCatch” (the “Developer”) handles information in MealCatch (the “App”).
The App has no sign-up or login, and the Developer does not run any servers. The App has no feature that sends or receives data over the internet, and it contains no third-party code for advertising or analytics. The photos, dates, meals, notes and other content you save in the App (your “Meals”) are stored on your device and are never sent to the Developer. The App itself does not store or sync data in the cloud (see section 4 for iPhone backups).
This information is stored encrypted using iPhone's file protection, and can't be read or written until you unlock your iPhone for the first time after it starts up. So that you can save meals while your iPhone is locked (from the Lock Screen camera or Siri), the App uses iPhone's standard protection level, which lets it read and write while locked after that first unlock.
If you delete the App, this information is deleted from your device.
The camera is used only when you take a photo of a meal, including from the Lock Screen. Photos are stored only inside the App and are not saved to your Photos library.
Photos from your library are chosen in the standard iPhone photo picker. The picker runs outside the App, and only the photos you select are passed to the App. The App never reads your whole photo library.
The microphone is used only when you dictate a note. Your voice is turned into text on your device and is never sent anywhere. The App does not keep the audio.
When you save a meal with Siri, Siri turns what you say into text and passes it to the App, which stores it on your device as a meal. Siri's processing of your voice is handled under Apple's Privacy Policy.
The App is a paid app, and the purchase is processed through Apple's App Store. The Developer never receives your payment information. The App has no in-app purchases.
When you send a photo through the share sheet, it is handled according to the practices of the app or recipient you send it to.
If you use iPhone backups (iCloud Backup or a backup to your computer), the App's data is included. Backups are handled under Apple's Privacy Policy.
If you contact us by email, the Developer receives your email address and the content of your message. They are used only to reply to you and are not provided to third parties except as required by law. They are kept only as long as needed and then deleted.
The App is made for adults to keep a record of their own meals, and is not designed to be used primarily by children.
This policy may be updated when the App's features change. Updates will be posted on this page with a new revision date.
