Privacy policy

This policy explains how Forkcast handles account, nutrition, device and support information, and the choices available to you.

Important: the operator’s legal name, address and privacy contact must be added before public launch. This baseline should be reviewed by qualified counsel for every market served.

1. Information we handle

We may handle account details, food logs, photos you choose to analyse, nutrition goals, subscription status, device and security data, and messages sent to support. Nutrition information may be treated as sensitive data in some countries.

2. Why we use it

We use data to provide the tracker, analyse photos at your request, secure accounts, process subscriptions, answer support requests, meet legal duties and improve reliability. Where required, we ask for explicit consent before processing sensitive nutrition data.

3. Sharing and international transfers

We use service providers for hosting, authentication, payments and requested AI analysis. They may process data in other countries under appropriate contractual and legal safeguards. We do not sell personal or health data and do not use it for targeted advertising.

4. Retention and security

We keep data only as long as needed for the service, legal obligations and dispute resolution, then delete or anonymise it. We use access controls, encryption in transit and operational safeguards, but no system is completely secure.

5. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may request access, correction, deletion, portability or restriction; object to processing; withdraw consent; appeal a decision; or complain to your data protection authority. California residents may also ask about categories collected and limit certain uses of sensitive information. We do not discriminate for exercising rights.

6. Children and health information

Forkcast is not intended for children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect their data. The app is for general wellness, not diagnosis, treatment or emergencies.

7. Cookies and local storage

We use storage necessary for sign-in, security and language preferences. We will not activate optional analytics or advertising storage without any consent required by law, and will provide equally easy accept and reject choices if that changes.

8. Contact and changes

The operator and privacy contact details must be inserted before launch. We will post material changes here and provide additional notice where required. Requests will be verified to protect your account.
