Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 11, 2026

Use It Up ("the app", "we") helps you track the food in your kitchen, reduce waste, and log what you eat. This policy explains what we collect and why. We do not sell your personal data.

What we collect

• Account info — if you create an account, your email address and (for Sign in with Apple/Google) your name. Authentication is handled by Supabase.
• Your kitchen & preferences — the food items you add, your survey answers, and meals you log. If you’re signed in, this is stored in our backend (Supabase) so it can sync across your devices. As a guest, it stays only on your device.
• Photos you scan — when you scan groceries, a fridge, or a receipt, the photo is sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) through our server to identify the food. Photos are used only to return that result and are not stored by us.
• Health data — if you enable it, the app writes the calories and macros of food you log to Apple Health. We do not read or upload your other Health data, and Health data is never used for advertising.

How we use it

To provide the app’s features: identifying food from photos, syncing your kitchen, suggesting recipes, sending expiry reminders, and managing your subscription. Subscriptions are processed by Apple — we never see your payment details.

Who we share it with

Only the service providers needed to run the app: Supabase (accounts and data storage), Anthropic (AI photo analysis), Pexels (food photo search — only the food's name is sent, never your personal data), and Apple (sign-in, Health, and payments). They process data on our behalf and are bound by their own privacy terms. We do not sell data or share it with advertisers.

Deleting your data

You can delete your account and its associated data at any time from Profile → Delete account in the app. This removes your account and the data stored for it on our backend. You can also clear your on-device kitchen from Settings.

Data retention

We keep your account data until you delete your account. Scan photos are processed transiently and not retained by us.

Children

Use It Up is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
