Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 14, 2025

Introduction

Check My Plate ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how your personal information is collected, used, and disclosed by Check My Plate when you use our mobile application ("App").

Our primary goal is to provide you with a privacy-first nutrition tracking experience that puts you in control of your data.

Information We Collect

We collect minimal personal information:

  • Nutrition data you input into the App
  • App usage information for improving functionality
  • Basic device information for troubleshooting

Important: All nutrition data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the App
  • Develop new features and functionality
  • Understand and analyze how you use our App
  • Communicate with you about the App

Data Sharing

Check My Plate does not share your personal information with third parties. We believe your data belongs to you, and we are committed to maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of your information.

We do not:

  • Sell your personal information to advertisers or data brokers
  • Share your nutrition data with third parties
  • Use your data for targeted advertising purposes

The only data sharing that occurs is when you explicitly opt-in to features like Apple Health integration or iCloud backup, which use Apple's secure frameworks.

Data Storage and Security

Check My Plate operates on an "offline-first" principle:

  • Your nutrition data is stored locally on your device
  • If enabled, data is synced with Apple Health using Apple's secure frameworks
  • With your permission, data may be backed up to your personal iCloud account

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information.

Your Rights and Choices

You have complete control over your data:

  • View all data stored in the App at any time
  • Export your data in standard formats
  • Delete individual records or all data from the App
  • Control Apple Health and iCloud integration through App settings

GDPR Compliance

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides certain rights regarding your personal information.

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Erase your personal data (right to be forgotten)
  • Restrict or object to processing of your data
  • Data portability (receiving your data in a structured, machine-readable format)
  • Withdraw consent at any time

Since Check My Plate stores data locally on your device, many of these rights are automatically fulfilled through the App's functionality. For any GDPR-related inquiries, please contact us at privacy@checkmyplate.app.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants you specific rights regarding your personal information.

Under the CCPA, you have the right to:

  • Know what personal information is collected about you
  • Know whether your personal information is sold or disclosed and to whom
  • Say no to the sale of your personal information
  • Access your personal information
  • Request deletion of your personal information
  • Not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights

Check My Plate does not sell personal information, and since data is stored locally on your device, you already have direct access to view and delete your information through the App. For any CCPA-related requests, please contact us at privacy@checkmyplate.app.

Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
