Mealsphere Privacy Policy
This policy explains how Mealsphere handles menu, location, subscription, and usage data.
1. Local-First Data
Mealsphere stores your mealspheres, frequent places, menu items, ratings, and meal history on your device by default. The app does not require an account and does not upload this local data merely to provide recommendations.
2. Menu AI Recognition
When you subscribe to and enable Menu AI Recognition, menu images that you choose to capture or import are sent to the Mealsphere cloud recognition service to identify dish names and prices. Recognition results are returned to the app for your review and editing.
If you are not subscribed, turn off Menu AI Recognition, or cloud recognition fails, the app uses on-device recognition for menu images.
3. Location Information
If you enable Location Information, the app uses your current location in the foreground to suggest switching mealspheres, estimate distance to frequent places for hurry recommendations, and help set mealsphere or frequent place locations. Mealsphere does not use background location, does not request Always Location permission, and does not upload your current location.
4. Camera and Photos
The app accesses the camera or photo library only when you choose to scan or import a menu. Menu images are used only for the recognition flow that you start.
5. Subscription Information
The Menu AI Recognition subscription is purchased, renewed, refunded, and cancelled through Apple App Store. Mealsphere does not receive your full payment information.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
You can clear local data in the app settings. Cloud menu recognition requests are used to process the recognition you requested and are not used to create a Mealsphere account profile.
7. Third-Party Services
Cloud menu AI recognition is routed by a Mealsphere Cloudflare Worker to a model service for processing. App Store subscriptions are handled by Apple.
