EatCrux — Privacy Policy

Version 1.7 · Effective: 2026-10-11

EatCrux keeps health data on your phone by default. This policy explains what information leaves your device and why.

What EatCrux stores on your device

  • Your profile: name, age, height, weight, goals, and whether you use a watch or band.
  • Your Eat questionnaire answers and foods you assign to meals, stored locally unless you choose to generate an AI meal plan.
  • What you log: sleep, weight, blood pressure, resting heart rate, meals, water, and cycle entries.
  • Workout history for the last seven days, including duration, energy, distance and steps.
  • App state such as your language, streak, and daily usage counters.
  • Your health logs, profile, and app state stay in EatCrux's private storage on your phone by default. Information leaves the device only when you choose an online feature described in this policy.

Apple Health

  • With your permission, EatCrux reads steps, distance, active energy, heart rate, resting heart rate, heart-rate variability, sleep, body mass, blood pressure and workouts from Apple Health.
  • EatCrux writes back only what you record in the app: finished workouts, water, weight, blood pressure, resting heart rate, and sleep you log by hand.
  • Apple Health data is read on the device and shown to you. EatCrux does not upload HealthKit data by default. AI features have separate consent screens.
  • You can change or withdraw this access at any time in the Health app, under Sharing → Apps → EatCrux. iOS shows the permission sheet only once, so after that the Health app is the only place these switches can be changed.
  • Deleting EatCrux, or using Start over inside it, does not delete anything from Apple Health. That data belongs to Health, and only you can remove it there.

EatCrux AI features

  • The AI coach, food scanner, and meal planner send information to Google's Gemini API after you grant separate consent.
  • EatCrux asks your permission separately before each AI feature sends anything, and shows you the full list of what is sent. Until you agree, that feature sends nothing. You can withdraw permission at any time in Profile → Privacy and data.
  • When you message the AI coach, your message is sent together with a picture of your health, so the reply is about you rather than generic. That includes your age, height, weight and goal; today's steps, distance, active energy and hydration; your readiness score; last night's sleep and your recent nights; resting heart rate and HRV where a wearable provides them; any blood pressure, meals and strength sessions you have logged; and, if you track it, your current cycle day and phase.
  • When you scan a meal, the photo you take is sent so the food can be identified.
  • When you generate a meal plan, your food goal, routine, cooking preferences, dietary style, allergy and health-condition answers, optional health notes, current weight, and profile fitness goal are sent. Foods are sent only when you choose to adjust a specific meal. EatCrux does not send your name, contact details, or precise location with the request.
  • AI requests do not include your name, contact details, or precise location.
  • Google processes this data under the Google APIs Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy. Review Google's terms to understand its handling of submitted information. Requests do not include your name or account identifier.
  • If you would rather send nothing at all, decline the permission or switch that feature off — the rest of EatCrux works without it.

Location

  • Explore uses your location to find nearby places and request walking routes through Apple Maps. Apple receives the location and search or directions details needed to provide its Maps service, under Apple's privacy policy.
  • During an outdoor workout, EatCrux uses your location to measure distance and draw your route. Tracking runs only between starting and finishing a workout and continues while your screen is locked; iOS shows an indicator while this happens.
  • EatCrux does not send workout route history to its own server. Explore location and map requests are handled by Apple Maps.

Motion and the camera

  • Motion and fitness access is used to count steps and distance during a workout, so a phone in your pocket still records the session.
  • The camera is used only when you open the food scanner. Photos are used for that scan and are not stored in a library by EatCrux.

Payments

  • Subscriptions are handled by Apple. EatCrux never sees your card details, and never receives them.
  • EatCrux stores the local preview start date and subscription status needed to control feature access.

Tracking and analytics

  • EatCrux contains no advertising, no analytics service, and no third-party tracking.
  • Your data is not sold, rented, or shared with data brokers.

Your control

  • Erasing removes everything EatCrux has stored on the device. Apple Health is deliberately left untouched.
  • Deleting the app removes its local storage with it.

Children

  • EatCrux is not intended for children under 13, and is not knowingly used to collect their data.

Not medical advice

  • EatCrux is a wellness app, not a medical device. Its readings, scores and AI replies are for general guidance and cannot diagnose, treat, or replace a clinician.
  • If something concerns you about your health, speak to a doctor.

Changes and contact

  • If this policy changes in substance, the version shown at the top of this screen will change with it.
  • For any question about your data, or to ask what is held about you and have it deleted, email em909z@mail.ru.
