Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3 August 2026

Clarity ("we", "us") is an Australian-made calorie and food-quality tracking app. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. The short version: your food and health data belongs to you, it is never sold, and you can delete everything at any time from inside the app.

Information we collect

• Account details. If you create an account (email/password or Sign in with Apple), we store your email address and a user identifier so your data can sync across devices. You can use most of Clarity without an account — data then stays on your device.
• Food and body data. Meals you log, portion sizes, calorie/macro values, quality scores, water intake, streaks, and weight entries. Stored on your device, and — only when you're signed in — synced to our database hosted in Sydney, Australia (Supabase, AWS ap-southeast-2).
• Photos you scan. When you scan a meal or label, the photo is sent over an encrypted connection to our server, which forwards it to our AI provider (Anthropic) to identify the food. We do not permanently store scan photos on our servers, and per our API agreement they are not used to train AI models. Meal photos you choose to keep are stored on your device only.
• Apple Health. With your permission, Clarity reads active energy to adjust your daily budget and writes the nutrition you log. Health data is used only to provide these features on your device. It is never used for advertising or marketing, never sold, and never shared with third parties, in line with Apple's HealthKit rules.
• Usage analytics. We collect pseudonymous product events (e.g. "meal logged", "scan completed") via PostHog under a random identifier, to understand which features work. No food contents, photos, or health values are included in analytics events.
• Crash reports. Crash and performance diagnostics via Sentry, containing device model, OS version and stack traces — not your food or health data.
• Ad attribution. If you allow tracking at the iOS prompt, we retrieve Apple's Ads attribution token to learn which advertisement brought you to Clarity. If you decline, we don't.
• Purchases. Subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple. We never see or store your payment details.

What we don't do

• We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
• We do not show third-party advertising inside Clarity.
• We do not use your health data, photos, or food diary for advertising of any kind.

Service providers

We share data only with the processors needed to run Clarity: Supabase (database & authentication, Sydney), Anthropic (AI analysis of scans, United States), PostHog (analytics, United States), Sentry (crash reporting, United States), Resend (transactional email such as sign-in confirmations), and Apple (payments, notifications). Each receives only what is necessary for its function.

Data retention and deletion

Your data is kept until you delete it. In Settings → Delete account & data, Clarity deletes your synced meals and your account from our servers, then wipes the device copy. This is immediate and irreversible. You can also export your data as CSV at any time from Settings.

International transfers

Your synced food data stays in Australia. Some processors above operate in the United States; where they do, we rely on their standard contractual safeguards.

Children

Clarity is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.

Your rights

Under the Australian Privacy Principles (and, where applicable, the GDPR) you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. The in-app export and delete tools cover most requests instantly; for anything else, email us.

Changes

If we change this policy materially, we'll note it here and in the app before the change takes effect.
