Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
CALIQ ("we", "our", "the app") is a personal calorie and energy tracking app. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
1. Data We Collect
- Health data: With your explicit permission, CALIQ reads active and basal calorie data from Apple Health. We do not write to Apple Health. This data never leaves your device.
- Camera & photos: When you choose to scan a meal, we access your camera or photo library. The image is sent to a third-party AI provider (see Section 3) solely to estimate calorie content. Images are not stored by CALIQ.
- User-entered data: Meals, workouts, weight, height, age, and calorie goals you enter are stored locally on your device using AsyncStorage. This data is not transmitted to CALIQ servers.
- API keys: If you enter an AI provider API key in Settings, it is stored securely on your device using iOS Secure Enclave (expo-secure-store). Keys are never transmitted to CALIQ.
2. Data We Do NOT Collect
- We do not collect your name, email, or any account information.
- We do not have analytics, crash reporting, or tracking SDKs.
- We do not maintain servers that receive your personal data.
- We do not sell data to third parties.
3. Third-Party AI Providers
When you use the Scan Meal feature, your food photo is sent directly from your device to the AI provider you have selected in Settings (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini). This transmission is governed by their respective privacy policies:
CALIQ does not receive, store, or process these images on our end.
4. WHOOP Integration
If you connect your WHOOP device, CALIQ uses WHOOP's OAuth 2.0 API to read your daily calorie burn and recovery score. Your WHOOP credentials are handled entirely by WHOOP's authentication servers — CALIQ only receives the calorie and recovery numbers returned by the API.
5. Children
CALIQ is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
6. Changes
We may update this policy. Continued use of CALIQ after changes constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
