Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 4, 2026

TypeCal (“TypeCal,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is operated from India. TypeCal is a food logging and nutrition app that offers calorie and macro estimates, hydration tracking, recipes, a pantry, grocery lists, progress tracking, reminders, and related wellness features.

This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. It applies to the TypeCal mobile app and our backend services.

Privacy at a Glance

• Do we sell your data? No. We never sell your personal information.
• Do we use your health data for ads? No. Apple Health data is never used for advertising.
• What powers the food estimates? Automated systems and AI. Estimates can be wrong — review them.
• Where is your data stored? On our backend and hosting provider, primarily in India.
• Can you delete your data? Yes. You can edit or delete entries in-app and delete your entire account.
• Who can you contact? support@typegenstudio.com

Information We Collect

Account & Sign-In. When you create an account or sign in, we collect what’s needed to identify and secure it — your email address, display name, sign-in provider, and authentication identifiers from Apple, Google, or our authentication provider.

Profile & Setup. Information you provide during onboarding or in settings, such as age, sex, height, weight, activity level, goals, preferred pace, units, dietary preferences, and allergies. We use this to personalize your targets and reminders.

Food, Nutrition, Hydration, Recipes, Pantry & Grocery. The content you create in TypeCal — food logs, meal descriptions, calories, macros, serving details, hydration entries, saved meals, recipes and recipe links, pantry items, grocery list items, edit and deletion history, and progress data, along with the dates and times of your entries.

Photos, Barcodes, Labels, Voice & Imports. If you use the camera, photo, barcode, nutrition-label, voice, or recipe-import features, we process the content you provide — photos and images, barcodes, nutrition-label data, typed or pasted text, recipe URLs and webpage content needed to import recipes, and voice audio or transcripts. Photos attached to saved food logs are stored with our storage provider and linked to your account.

Apple Health (optional). If you authorize it, TypeCal may read selected Apple Health data (such as dietary energy, protein, carbohydrates, fat, body weight, steps, and active energy) and write nutrition entries back to Apple Health when you save food logs. We may send limited activity summaries (like daily steps and active-energy calories) to our backend to support progress and rewards. You control this in the Apple Health app or iOS Settings.

Subscriptions & Purchases. If you start a free trial or subscribe, your purchase is processed by Apple and managed through our subscription-management provider. We receive subscription status, product, trial and renewal information, and anonymized purchase identifiers. We never receive or store your full payment card details — Apple handles that.

Device, Usage & Diagnostics. Technical information needed to run, secure, and improve TypeCal — device identifiers and notification tokens, app and OS version, network status, request metadata, feature-usage events (such as parse attempts and feedback submissions), and crash or error reports.

Product Analytics & Session Recordings. We use an analytics provider to understand how the app is used. This includes recording a sample of in-app sessions — roughly 25% — that capture on-screen interactions so we can find and fix problems. These recordings mask your text inputs and images, and we do not capture your keystrokes, network content, or logs.

Feedback & Support. If you contact us or send feedback, we collect your message and any details needed to respond.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• create, authenticate, and maintain your account;
• provide food logging, estimates, hydration, recipes, pantry, grocery, progress, rewards, and notifications;
• personalize your targets, reminders, and insights;
• process images, text, voice, barcodes, labels, and recipes into nutrition estimates;
• sync your data across devices and restore your account;
• measure product usage and improve reliability, accuracy, and safety;
• process subscriptions, trials, and purchases;
• detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and security or technical problems;
• respond to feedback and support requests; and
• comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

AI & Automated Estimates

TypeCal uses automated systems, nutrition data, computer vision, speech recognition, and third-party AI services to estimate foods, ingredients, calories, macros, portions, and recipes. When you log a meal, the relevant input (such as your text, a photo, or a voice transcript) is sent to these providers to generate an estimate.

These outputs are estimates. They may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsuitable for your needs. Always review and edit results before relying on them. TypeCal is not medical or dietary advice.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use Apple Health data for advertising. We share information only with service providers who help us run TypeCal, and only for the purposes described here:

• Hosting, database & storage providers — to run our servers and store your app data, including photos you attach to logs
• AI and machine-learning providers — to process food text, photos, and voice into nutrition estimates
• Analytics providers — to understand how features are used, including sampled and masked session recordings, so we can improve the app
• Crash and error-reporting providers — to diagnose and fix problems
• Subscription and payment processing — handled by the Apple App Store and our subscription-management provider
• Sign-in providers (Apple and Google) — to authenticate you, when you use those methods
• Apple Health — only as directed by your device permissions and your actions

We may also disclose information: to legal, safety, or compliance recipients when required by law or to protect rights and safety; and to a successor entity if we are ever involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate protections.

Data Retention

We keep personal information for as long as needed to provide TypeCal, maintain your account, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain backups. When you delete logs, recipes, images, or your account, that content is removed from active systems, though backup and security copies may persist for a limited period.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee that information will always remain secure.

Your Rights & Choices

You can:

• edit or delete individual logs, recipes, photos, and other entries inside TypeCal;
• delete your entire account and associated data from within the app (or by emailing us);
• manage permissions for Apple Health, camera, microphone, and notifications in iOS Settings;
• manage your subscription in the App Store;
• sign out at any time; and
• request access, correction, deletion, or export of your data by contacting us.

To exercise any of these rights, email support@typegenstudio.com.

Children’s Privacy

TypeCal is not directed to children. You must be at least 13 to use TypeCal, and if you are under 18, you may use it only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal data from a child without the consent of their parent or guardian. If you believe a child has provided us information without such consent, contact us and we will delete it.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. We honor these requests as required by applicable law and do not discriminate against you for exercising them.

India (Digital Personal Data Protection Act). If you are in India, you may request access to, correction of, or erasure of your personal data, nominate another person to exercise your rights on your behalf, and raise a grievance with us about how we handle your data. To exercise any of these rights or raise a grievance, email support@typegenstudio.com, and we will respond as required by law.

Some information you provide — such as nutrition, weight, and wellness data — may be considered sensitive. We use it only to provide the features you request, and we do not sell it.

International Users & Cross-Border Transfers

TypeCal is operated from India, and your information is primarily stored and processed in India. Some of our service providers — for example, AI, analytics, or crash-reporting providers — may process limited information in other countries, which may have different data-protection laws than your own. Where required, we take steps to protect information transferred across borders.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice as required by law — for example, by updating the effective date above or posting an in-app notice.
