Privacy Policy for ClearBite
Effective Date: August 12, 2026
ClearBite ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how ClearBite collects, uses, and safeguards your information when you use our mobile application.
To provide real-time dietary analysis, ClearBite processes the following data:
Camera and Image Data: Images of food packaging, nutrition panels, prepared meals, or restaurant menus captured via your camera or selected from your device photo gallery.
Dietary Preferences & Profile Data: Information you explicitly provide, including allergy profiles, dietary restrictions (e.g., Gluten-Free, Vegan, Halal), custom ingredients to avoid, and language preferences.
Scan History: A record of your analyzed items, safety verdicts, and nutrition insights, stored directly on your device.
We use your data solely to deliver and improve ClearBite's core functionality:
Dietary Analysis: Processing submitted images against your custom profile to generate safety verdicts (Safe, Caution, Unsafe) and ingredient breakdowns.
Local Storage: Saving your past scans and preference settings locally so you can search and filter history offline.
Google Gemini AI API: ClearBite utilizes Google’s Gemini AI to analyze visual ingredient data. Submitted images and active profile parameters are transmitted securely via API to perform real-time optical recognition and cross-referencing.
No Data Sale: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or image data to third parties, advertisers, or data brokers.
On-Device Storage: Your dietary profile, custom restriction lists, and scan history are stored locally on your mobile device.
Data Transmission: Images and text queries sent for AI analysis are transmitted securely over HTTPS/TLS protocols.
Data Retention: ClearBite does not maintain permanent remote server storage of your personal food images or scan logs. Removing the app or clearing local app data erases all stored history permanently.
ClearBite requires the following device permissions to function:
Camera Access: To take real-time photos of food products, labels, and menus.
Photo Library / Gallery Access: To select existing food images for analysis.
You can manage or revoke these permissions at any time through your device’s system settings.
ClearBite does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions). If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps to remove it.
You retain full control over your data within ClearBite:
Modify Profile: You can update or delete your dietary preferences and restriction rules anytime from the Profile screen.
Clear History: You can manually delete individual scan logs or clear your entire history directly within the app settings.
App Uninstallation: Uninstalling ClearBite removes all locally stored preferences and history from your device.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any updates will be reflected by a revised "Effective Date" at the top of this policy. Continued use of ClearBite following any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
