1 Introduction
Welcome to CalorieCam AI ("we," "our," or "us"), provided and maintained by Professor Studio. We respect your privacy and are committed to safeguarding your personal data, nutritional logs, and photo uploads.
This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, storage, processing, and disclosure of information when you download, install, and use the CalorieCam AI mobile application on Android.
2 Information We Collect
Depending on whether you use the application as a Guest or as a Registered User (Email or Google Sign-In), we may collect the following categories of information:
A. Camera and Image Data (Food Photos)
- Captured & Uploaded Photos: When you use our camera or gallery picker to analyze meals, the image file is temporarily processed to extract nutritional values (calories, protein, carbohydrates, fats).
- Purpose Limitation: Images are processed exclusively for food identification and macro estimation. We do not extract biometric facial data or background ambient monitoring from your images.
B. Nutritional, Activity & Health Diary Data
- Meal Logs: Food names, detected calories, macronutrients (proteins, carbs, fats), meal timing, and custom notes.
- Wellness Goals: Daily calorie targets, water consumption (ml), daily step counts, and active burn calories.
- Meal History: Historical records of meals for weekly trend visualization and analytics.
C. Account & Profile Information (Optional)
- Google Sign-In: Full name, verified email address, Google User ID, and profile photo avatar URL provided via Google OAuth 2.0.
- Email Authentication: Display name, email address, and encrypted password authentication tokens managed securely through Supabase Auth.
- Guest Mode: If you select "Continue as Guest", no email, name, or account credentials are collected or uploaded to our remote servers. All data remains exclusively on your device.
D. AI Tokens & Store Transactions
- Token Balance: Quantity of remaining AI analysis tokens associated with your profile.
- Subscription Status: Premium vs. Free tier flags to manage access to unlimited analyses.
3 Android Device Permissions
To provide its core AI capabilities, the app requests the following runtime Android permissions:
- CAMERA (
android.permission.CAMERA): Required to take real-time photos of your food plate for instant AI analysis. You can choose to revoke this permission at any time and upload photos via gallery instead. - READ_MEDIA_IMAGES / READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Required solely to allow you to select existing meal photos from your device gallery.
- POST_NOTIFICATIONS: Used optionally to deliver timely meal logging reminders, water tracking prompts, and health streak achievements.
- INTERNET: Required to query the AI vision models (Google Gemini API) and synchronize your cloud profile via Supabase.
4 AI Processing & Third-Party Service Providers
To analyze food and provide nutritional insights, CalorieCam AI interfaces with industry-standard, secure infrastructure providers:
- Google Gemini Vision AI: Food photos and user chat prompts are transmitted securely via TLS/HTTPS to Google Gemini APIs to identify food ingredients, estimate portion weights, and calculate macronutrient values. Google processes these requests in compliance with enterprise security standards.
- Supabase (Cloud Backend): Used for secure user authentication, token ledger accounting, and optional cloud profile backup. Data stored in Supabase is protected by strict PostgreSQL Row-Level Security (RLS) policies.
- Google Play Services: Used for authentication, app integrity checks, and official application distribution.
5 Data Storage & Guest Mode
We believe in user autonomy and data minimization:
For authenticated users, your profile information and token balance are synchronized with your protected Supabase cloud profile so you can restore them upon reinstalling the app or switching devices.
6 Your Rights & Account Deletion
In accordance with global privacy regulations (including GDPR, CCPA, and Google Play Store policies), you have the right to:
- Access & View: Review all meal data, calorie totals, and account information directly inside the app.
- Update & Edit: Modify your display name, profile avatar, and calorie/water goals via the Profile & Settings screens.
- Delete Your Account & Data: You may request complete deletion of your account and all associated cloud records at any time. Simply contact our privacy team at support@professorstudio.com or use the in-app account options. All associated cloud records will be permanently expunged within 30 days.
7 Children's Privacy
CalorieCam AI is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will immediately delete such data from our servers.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect improvements to our AI services or regulatory requirements. Any modifications will be posted on this page with an updated Effective Date. Continued use of CalorieCam AI following the posting of changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.
