Privacy Policy
Effective November 14, 2026
EatUp is made by Kyle Lokker ("we"). This policy explains what EatUp collects, why, and the choices you have. In short: we only collect what the app needs to work, we never sell your data, and there are no ads or trackers.
What we collect
- Your account: your email address, your name if you sign in with Apple or Google and choose to share it (or type it in), and your answers to "What brings you to EatUp?" if you give them.
- Your kitchen: the food in your fridge (names, amounts, expiration dates, where it's kept), your grocery list, your recipe ideas, and the expiration dates you correct (so the app learns how long food lasts for you). They are backed up and available on your other phones.
- Receipt photos: when you scan a receipt, the photo is sent to our server to read the items on it. We don't keep the photo after it has been read.
- Barcodes and products: when you scan a barcode or pick a product from the food list, the barcode number or product is sent to our server to look it up.
- Usage counts: when you scanned receipts and barcodes, got recipe ideas or steps, looked up products and got recipe pictures, to apply the limits of the free plan and daily fair-use limits that stop misuse.
- Your plan: whether you have Premium and until when. We never see your payment details; Apple handles payment.
Reminders are scheduled on your phone; we don't send or see them. If you use the microphone to say what you bought, your speech is turned into text by Apple's speech recognition, and we only receive the text. EatUp does not collect your location, contacts, or advertising identifiers.
How we use it
Only to run EatUp: to sign you in, save and sync your fridge and grocery list, read your receipts, suggest recipes, and apply your plan. We don't sell or rent your information, and we don't use it for advertising.
Services that help run EatUp
A few trusted services process data for us, only to provide the app:
- Supabase stores your account, fridge and grocery list, and runs our server.
- Anthropic (Claude), an AI service, reads receipt photos, describes scanned products and writes recipe ideas and steps. It receives the photo, the product details or the list of foods in your fridge, not your name or email. Under its commercial terms, Anthropic doesn't use this data to train its AI models.
- Unsplash and Replicate provide recipe pictures. They only receive the name of a dish.
- Open Food Facts (a free, public product database) looks up scanned barcodes. It only receives the barcode number.
- Apple and Google handle signing in if you choose them. Apple handles purchases and payment.
- RevenueCat keeps track of your Premium subscription. It receives a random account code and your purchase details from Apple, not your name or email.
- Resend sends the sign-in emails. It receives your email address.
- Cloudflare delivers email you send to our support address to our inbox.
Keeping and deleting your data
We keep your data while you have an account. You can delete your account at any time in the app (Settings → Delete account), which permanently removes your account and everything saved with it from our servers. Signing out or deleting your account also clears your food from that phone. Usage counts are kept with your account and removed with it. Apple and RevenueCat keep records of purchases as required for billing and tax; you can ask RevenueCat's records to be deleted by emailing us. Emails you send us are kept while we need them to help you.
Security
Data is sent over encrypted connections, and each account can only read its own data. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.
Children
EatUp is not meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example California or the European Union), you may have the right to know what data we have about you, to get a copy, to correct it, and to delete it. You can delete everything yourself in the app, or email us for anything else; we answer within 30 days and won't treat you differently for asking. We don't sell your personal information or share it for advertising.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top and, for important changes, let you know in the app.
