Privacy

No account, no ads, no usage analytics and no tracking. The app contains no third-party libraries for analytics, crash reporting or advertising.

What you log (meals, weight, photos, pantry, shopping, plans, goals) stays on your iPhone or Mac. It only leaves the device in the few cases described below, almost always because you ask for it.

Your data is kept in a local store on the device. Progress and food photos are saved with iOS file protection and, unless you choose otherwise, are excluded from iCloud backup.

You can export it at any time: “Export my data” creates a file with meals, pantry, plans and goals, and you share the PDF report for your nutritionist yourself. If you turn on the safety copy, the app saves a daily copy to a folder you pick (for example iCloud Drive), keeping the last seven.

To delete your data, remove individual items in the app or delete the app: its store goes with it.

The microphone is used to dictate meals and expiry dates. Transcription uses Apple's on-device speech recognition: audio is not sent to any server. On devices with Apple Intelligence, Apple's on-device model may tidy up the transcribed text.

The camera is used to read barcodes and recognise a meal you choose to photograph. Recognition of images, receipts and labels happens on the device: images are not uploaded.

The photo library is only used when you pick a day's progress photo. Face ID, if you turn it on, only unlocks the “Body and photos” section.

On iPhone, if you allow it, MindLeaT reads workouts, active energy, heart rate, weight, body fat and waist circumference from Apple Health, to connect them with what you eat. It writes nothing to Health. Health data is not used for advertising and is not sent to anyone.

Barcodes. When you scan or enter a barcode, the app asks Open Food Facts for that product. Only the code is sent.

Food search. When you search the online catalogue, or create a new food and type its name, the text you type is sent to the Open Food Facts search to suggest similar products. Nothing else is sent: no account, no identifiers.

Search the web. If you tap “Search the web” to find a product's photo or values, the app opens DuckDuckGo or Google Images inside the app with the words you typed, in a session that does not keep cookies. Those pages follow DuckDuckGo's and Google's privacy rules.

Ask your AI. MindLeaT has no online artificial intelligence built in. “Ask your AI” prepares a request with your meal sentence and, only if you tap the button, opens it in Perplexity in your browser. From there, Perplexity's rules apply.

Mac and iPhone exchange data directly, over your home network or peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, without going through a server. The link is paired with a six-digit code and encrypted. The pairing secret stays in Apple's Keychain.

Reminders (meals, expiry dates, weigh-ins, progress photos) are local notifications scheduled on the device: we do not use push notifications. Siri, Shortcuts and widgets only read and write the app's data on the device.

The iPhone beta is installed through TestFlight, Apple's service. Under its own rules, Apple shows us some information about how the beta is used: number of sessions and crashes, install date and installed version, along with crash reports and feedback you send from TestFlight. If you joined through the public link, your name and email are not shown to us unless you choose to share them with your feedback. We use this information only to improve the app. Details are in Apple's TestFlight & Privacy.

This site uses no cookies, no visitor analytics and no forms. Fonts are hosted with the site, so visiting it does not contact Google. The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages: like any host, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address to deliver the pages and protect them from abuse.

MindLeaT is not designed for children and does not knowingly collect anyone's data, children included.

If the app changes in a way that affects privacy, we will update this page and the date at the top.
