Privacy Policy
What data we collect
At sign-up: email, name, and password (stored only as a hash, never in plain text). Temporary, expiring codes are sent for email verification and password reset.
For your personal targets: your weight, height, age, sex, average daily steps, and the physical activity you do in a typical week (type, how often, how long or how far, and how hard) — together with your goal (lose / maintain / healthy lifestyle / nutrition), the rate of change you're aiming for, your food preferences, and notification settings. These are used only to calculate your daily calorie and macro targets. Every one of them is optional: the app works without them, on a rougher estimate.
The meals you log every day — your food diary, including quantity, time, and calculated calories/macros.
Meal photos, when you use AI recognition (Premium): sent to Anthropic's Claude model solely to identify the dish. The photo isn't stored in our database by default — it's stored only if you explicitly turn on "Contribute this photo" (off by default). EXIF/GPS metadata is always stripped server-side before sending, regardless of whether the photo ends up stored.
For push notifications: your device's token, chosen language, and timezone offset.
If you write to support from inside the app: the messages you send, so we can answer them. They're visible only to you and to Kalor's support team, and they're deleted with your account.
Crash reports and diagnostics, when the app fails: the error itself, the app version, and your device model and OS version. These go to Sentry. They contain no diary entries and no photos.
How we use this data
Solely for the app's core functionality: calculating your daily target, showing your food history, recognizing dishes, sending notifications, and protecting your account. We don't sell or rent your data to anyone, and we don't use it for advertising.
Third parties we share data with
The following services process part of your data, for the stated purpose only, nothing more:
- Anthropic (Claude) — AI recognition of meal photos
- Resend — delivery of email verification and password reset emails
- Expo — push notification delivery
- Open Food Facts — barcode product lookup (only the code is sent, no personal data)
- Sentry — crash reports and diagnostics from the app
Data retention and account deletion
Deleting your account (Profile → Delete account) immediately and completely erases all your data — your food diary, saved dishes, photo-derived entries, and account settings. This action can't be undone.
Security
Your password is never stored in plain text. All traffic between the app and the server runs over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection.
Medical disclaimer
This is for educational purposes, not medical advice. It doesn't calculate medication doses. Kalor is a nutrition tracking tool, not a medical device. See a doctor about health concerns.
Changes to this policy
If this page changes materially, we'll let you know in the app or by email. The date above always shows the most recent update.
