TL;DR: Your meal data stays on your devices via iCloud. We collect anonymous usage stats to improve the app. We don't sell anything to anyone.
What we collect
Minimal and anonymous:
- Anonymous usage analytics: We track app events like "plan generated" or "grocery list viewed" to understand how people use the app. These are tied to an anonymous identifier synced across your devices via iCloud. We have no way to connect it to your real identity.
- Eats Faster: If you subscribe, your meal requests pass through our servers to generate suggestions, then we forget about them. No logs, no storage.
- Bring your own key: If you use your own API key, requests go directly from your device to Anthropic. We never see them.
- Crash reports: If the app crashes, Apple may send us anonymous diagnostic info. Standard iOS stuff.
Analytics details
Our analytics collect these events:
- App opened
- Meal plan generated, re-rolled, or filled
- Meal swapped or custom meal added
- Grocery list generated or completed
- Preference prompts shown or completed
- Subscription prompts shown, tapped, or dismissed
Each event includes the event name, timestamp, and basic context like day of week and app version. No meal titles, no preferences, no personal data. We use this to understand which features people actually use.
What we don't collect
- Your name or email (we don't even ask)
- Your location
- Your contacts
- Your actual meal choices or dietary preferences
- Anything that could identify you personally
Data sync
Your meal plans and grocery lists sync across your devices through iCloud (Apple's CloudKit). We don't store your meal data on our servers.
Third parties
We use these services to run Eats:
- Apple iCloud: Syncs your meal plans and grocery lists across your devices. Also syncs your anonymous identifier.
- Supabase: Hosts our analytics and the Eats Faster cloud proxy. Does not store your meal data. Privacy Policy
- Anthropic: Powers AI meal suggestions for Eats Faster subscribers. Your meal requests pass through to generate suggestions, then are discarded. Privacy Policy
Children
Eats isn't designed for children under 13. If you're a kid reading this, go ask your parents what's for dinner instead.
Changes
If we ever change this policy, we'll update it here. But honestly, our privacy stance is "collect nothing, store nothing" and that's unlikely to change.
