Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 24, 2026

Miko ("we," "our," or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and safeguard your information when you use the Miko iOS application.

Information We Collect

Personal Information

Name (optional, only if you choose to provide it during onboarding or via Sign in with Apple)

Email address (only if you sign in with Apple and choose to share it)

Health and Nutrition Data

Food entries and calorie logs you create

Macro nutrient data (protein, carbohydrates, fat)

Daily calorie goals and dietary preferences

Height, weight, age, gender and activity level (provided during onboarding for calorie goal calculation)

Apple Health Data

With your permission, Miko reads step count, weight and active energy data from Apple Health. Miko does not write data to Apple Health.

Usage Data

We do not collect analytics, crash reports or usage telemetry. The app does not contain any third-party analytics SDKs.

How We Use Your Information

All nutrition and health data is used solely to provide calorie tracking and macro monitoring functionality within the app. Specifically:

To calculate and display your daily calorie and macro intake

To provide personalized daily calorie goals based on your profile

To display health metrics from Apple Health alongside your nutrition data

To personalize your experience with your name (if provided)

Data Storage and Security

On-Device Storage

All your food entries, nutrition data, health information and personal profile data are stored locally on your device using Apple SwiftData. We do not operate servers that store your personal data.

API Communication

When you use the AI food recognition feature (photo or text input), your food description or photo is sent to a third-party AI service (Anthropic Claude API) for processing. Only the food description or image is transmitted. No personal information such as your name, email, health data or profile information is included in these requests.

Sign in with Apple

If you choose to sign in with Apple, your Apple ID credentials are handled entirely by Apple. We store only your Apple-provided user identifier, display name and email (if shared) locally on your device.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your data.

We do not share your personal information with third parties.

We do not display advertisements.

We do not use third-party analytics or tracking tools.

The only external data transmission is food descriptions or images sent to the AI service for calorie analysis.

Data Retention and Deletion

Your data remains on your device for as long as you use the app. You can delete all your data at any time by:

Using the "Delete Account and Data" option in Settings, which removes all stored data

Deleting the app from your device, which removes all locally stored data

There is no server-side data to delete because we do not store your information on external servers.

Children's Privacy

Miko is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Subscriptions

Miko offers auto-renewable subscriptions (Monthly at $9.99 and Annual at $99.99) managed entirely through Apple's App Store. Payment processing is handled by Apple. We do not collect or store any payment or financial information.

Your subscription automatically renews unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID account settings.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
