Privacy Policy

Effective 4 October 2026

The short version

Mealens stores your food log, your weight and your dose history on your iPhone and nowhere else. There is no account to create and no server to sync with. We cannot see your health data, because it never reaches us.

Two things do leave your device, and neither is linked to who you are: your purchase history, if you subscribe, and anonymous usage analytics. Both are described below.

What stays on your iPhone

All of the following is written to your device’s local storage and never transmitted:

  • The foods you log, their portions and the time you logged them
  • Your protein goal and how it was calculated
  • Your weight entries and preferred unit
  • Your treatment: medication, dose, schedule, injection sites and history
  • Your app settings and language

Because this data lives only on your device, it is covered by your iPhone’s own protections. If you back up your iPhone to iCloud or a computer, that backup is made and controlled by Apple under Apple’s terms, not ours. Deleting Mealens deletes this data along with it, and the app has a “Delete my data” button that erases all of it immediately.

Purchases

If you subscribe to Mealens Pro, the transaction is handled by Apple. We use RevenueCat, Inc. to verify your subscription status so the app knows whether Pro is active.

What RevenueCat receives is limited to purchase information: the product bought, whether the subscription is active, and an anonymous identifier generated for your installation. It does not receive your name, your email, or any of the food, weight or treatment data listed above. This identifier is not linked to your identity and is not used to track you across other apps or websites.

Apple’s handling of the payment itself is governed by Apple’s privacy policy. We never see your payment details.

Anonymous usage analytics

To understand how the app is used and improve it, Mealens sends anonymous product-interaction events to a database we operate on Supabase, our cloud provider. Examples: the app was opened, an onboarding step or screen was viewed, the subscription screen was shown, and a purchase was started, completed or cancelled.

Each event contains the event name and short labels (such as a step name), the app version, your device language, a random identifier created when the app is installed, a per-session identifier and an anonymous Supabase sign-in that is not tied to any account. Events never include the foods you log, your weight, your medication or doses, your name, email, contacts, location or advertising identifier.

We use this data only for analytics. It is not linked to your identity, is not used for advertising, is not sold, and is not used to track you across other companies’ apps or websites. Deleting the app deletes the random identifier; reinstalling it creates a new one.

What we don’t collect

Stated plainly, because several of these are things nutrition apps commonly do and we don’t:

  • No account, no email address, no password, no sign-in
  • No photos and no camera access — the app never asks for either
  • No HealthKit or Apple Health data
  • No location, contacts, or device identifiers for advertising
  • No third-party analytics SDKs and no tracking across other apps or websites
  • No advertising, and no sale of data to anyone

This website

mealens.app is a static site hosted by Vercel Inc. Vercel processes standard server request logs, including IP address and browser type, to serve and secure the site. We set no cookies and run no advertising or analytics scripts on this site.

Your rights and your data

Rights such as access, correction, deletion and portability under the GDPR, the UK GDPR and the CCPA apply to personal data a company holds about you. For the app, we hold none linked to you — your data is in your hands, on your device, and you can view or erase all of it from within the app at any time. The anonymous usage analytics cannot be traced back to you.

For purchase records held by Apple or RevenueCat, or for anything else, write to us and we will help.

Children

Mealens is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes

If Mealens ever adds a feature that sends new kinds of data off your device, this page will be updated before that feature ships, and the effective date above will change. We will not quietly start collecting something this page says we don’t.
