PortionSnap Privacy Policy
PortionSnap is a private calorie and macro tracker for iPhone. You do not create an account. This policy describes what stays on your device and what leaves it.
What stays on your iPhone
Your food log, meal photos saved in the app, weight entries, water, goals, reminders, and settings are stored on your device. If iCloud is available and iCloud sync is on in Profile, the same data is also kept in your private iCloud account by Apple so it can sync between your devices; PortionSnap cannot read it. PortionSnap does not run a user database or require a login.
Photo scans
If you choose Scan Food, Apple Vision recognition, barcode detection, and Nutrition Facts reading run on your iPhone. PortionSnap does not upload the meal photo to our server. A compressed copy is stored with the food entry only when you choose to save it.
Barcode and food search
Barcode lookups and food-name search are sent to Open Food Facts. If Open Food Facts does not have a product, or its numbers look wrong, the barcode number is also sent to USDA FoodData Central. PortionSnap does not create an account with either service for you. Products you type in from a label are saved only on your iPhone.
Online recipe search
If you search online recipes, the words you type are sent to TheMealDB to find matching recipes. No account, name, or identifier is sent by PortionSnap.
Apple Health
Apple Health is optional. If you turn it on, PortionSnap can write meals and weight to Apple Health and read step count and weight entries. That data stays in Health on your device unless you choose otherwise in Apple’s Health app.
Purchases
Optional PortionSnap Premium is an auto-renewable subscription handled by Apple, billed monthly or yearly, with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan. We do not receive your full payment card details. You can cancel in iPhone Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
What we do not do

Children
PortionSnap is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes in a material way, we will update the date above and this page.
