Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 19, 2025

Last Updated: January 19, 2025

Your Privacy Matters

At evergoods, we believe your dietary choices are personal. This Privacy Policy explains how MenuIQ ("App") handles your information with the utmost respect for your privacy.

The Short Version: We don't collect, store, or share your personal data. Everything stays on your device.

1. Information We Don't Collect

Personal Data

We do not collect, store, or transmit:

  • Your name, email, or contact information
  • Account credentials (no accounts required)
  • Personal photos or menu scans (except for temporary processing)
  • Location data or GPS coordinates (stored locally only)
  • Usage analytics or behavioral data
  • Device identifiers or advertising IDs
  • No User Accounts

    MenuIQ works entirely without user accounts. There's no sign-up, no login, and no personal information required to use the App.

    2. How Your Data Stays Private

    Local Storage Only

  • All your menu scans, dietary preferences, and history are stored exclusively on your device
  • We cannot access your data because it never leaves your device
  • Your health data remains completely private to you
  • Deleting the App removes all associated data
  • No Cloud Sync

  • We do not sync your data to any cloud services
  • We do not maintain servers that store user content
  • Your data cannot be accessed by us or third parties
  • You have complete control over your information
  • 3. Device Permissions

    The App requests minimal permissions to function:

    Camera Access

  • Purpose: To scan restaurant menus
  • Usage: Images are processed locally or temporarily via secure API for analysis
  • Storage: Images are saved to your device's local storage if you choose
  • Control: You can revoke camera access in device settings
  • Photo Library Access

  • Purpose: To import existing menu photos
  • Usage: Access is limited to photos you explicitly select
  • Storage: Photos remain in your device's photo library
  • Control: You can limit or revoke photo access in device settings
  • Location Services (Optional)

  • Purpose: To identify restaurants for better menu analysis
  • Usage: Location data is used to find nearby venues
  • Storage: Coordinates are stored locally on your device only
  • Control: Location services are entirely optional and can be disabled
  • 4. AI Processing

    Menu Analysis

    When you scan a menu, we use third-party AI services to analyze items and identify ingredients:

  • Data Sent: Only the menu image (temporarily)
  • Processing: Image analysis happens on external AI servers
  • Retention: AI providers do not permanently store your images
  • Results: Nutritional analysis is returned to your device and stored locally
  • Privacy Protections

  • Photos are processed anonymously without identifying information
  • No personal data is sent with images
  • AI providers cannot link images to you or your device
  • Processing is done solely for menu analysis purposes
  • 5. Data Export and Sharing

    Your Control

  • You can export any analysis data from the App at any time
  • Sharing is entirely at your discretion through device sharing features
  • We do not facilitate or track any sharing activities
  • EXIF Data Protection

    When you export photos through the App:

  • All EXIF metadata (including location data) is automatically stripped
  • This protects your privacy when sharing images
  • Original photos in your device gallery retain their metadata
  • 6. Third-Party Services

    AI Providers

    We use external AI services for menu analysis:

  • Services process images temporarily for analysis only
  • No personal information is shared with AI providers
  • Images are not permanently stored by these services
  • Processing is anonymous and cannot be traced back to you
  • No Analytics

  • We do not use analytics services that track user behavior
  • We do not collect crash reports or usage statistics
  • We do not use advertising networks or tracking pixels
  • 7. Children's Privacy

    MenuIQ does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal information from anyone, the App is safe for users of all ages. Parents should supervise children's use of camera and location features.

    8. Data Security

    Local Protection

  • Your data security depends on your device's security measures
  • We recommend using device lock screens and encryption
  • Keep your device software updated for optimal security
  • No Network Vulnerabilities

  • Since data doesn't leave your device, there's no risk of network interception
  • No user databases means no risk of data breaches
  • Your privacy is protected by design
  • 9. International Users

    Global Privacy

  • This privacy-first approach works the same worldwide
  • No data crosses international borders because it stays on your device
  • Local privacy laws are respected by default since we don't collect data
  • Regional Compliance

  • Our approach exceeds requirements of GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations
  • No data collection means no compliance concerns for users anywhere
  • 10. Changes to This Policy
