Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

We wrote this in plain English on purpose. If something is unclear, email us.

What WSIET is

WSIET is a meal tracking and AI suggestion app. You log what you eat, set your preferences, and we use AI to suggest meals suited to your habits and the time of day.

What we collect

Account data

Your email address and a unique ID from Supabase (our authentication provider). We do not store passwords — Supabase handles that.

Meal logs

Every meal you log: name, description, meal type, cuisine, and the time you ate it. This is the core data the app runs on.

Preferences and dietary restrictions

The cuisines you prefer and any dietary restrictions you set (vegan, gluten-free, nut allergy, halal, kosher, etc.).

Important: Dietary restrictions — especially food allergies and medically-motivated restrictions — may qualify as health data under GDPR (Article 9) and as sensitive personal information under CCPA. We treat all dietary restriction data as sensitive regardless of where you live.

Device and usage data

Standard server logs: IP address, browser type, pages visited, timestamps. We use this for security and debugging. We do not use it for advertising.

Location data (optional)

If you enable "Find restaurants near me," we request your device's GPS coordinates at that moment. Coordinates are sent to our API to query nearby restaurants and are never stored in our database. They exist in memory for the duration of the request only.

Food photos (optional)

If you use photo logging, your photo is sent to our API, processed by AI to identify the dish, and stored on our servers associated with your meal log. Photos are retained for as long as your meal log entry exists and are deleted when you delete the meal or your account.

How we use it

Meal logsGenerate AI suggestions; build your eating history
Dietary restrictionsFilter suggestions; pass to AI as constraints
Cuisine preferencesTailor suggestions to your taste
Location (on-demand)Find nearby restaurants for your suggestion

We do not use your data for advertising. We do not sell your data. Ever.

AI processing

WSIET uses Anthropic's Claude to generate meal suggestions and Google Gemini to identify food in photos.

When you request a suggestion, we send Anthropic:

  • Your meal history (last 7–14 days of meal names, types, cuisines)
  • Your dietary restrictions
  • Your cuisine preferences
  • The time of day

We do not send your name, email, or account ID to Anthropic or Google. Both act as data processors under Data Processing Agreements. Per their API terms, they do not use API inputs to train their models.

Current AI models in use: meal suggestions — claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 (Anthropic); food photo identification — gemini-2.5-flash (Google DeepMind)

Location data

When you tap "Find near me":

  1. Your browser or device requests your GPS coordinates
  2. You choose to share or deny — we never auto-collect location
  3. If you share: coordinates go to our API → we query Google Places API to find nearby restaurants → results are returned to you
  4. Coordinates are not stored, logged to a database, or shared beyond the single Places query

Food photo data

When you submit a photo:

  1. Your browser compresses and converts the image to JPEG before sending
  2. The compressed image is sent over HTTPS to our API
  3. Our API sends the image to Google DeepMind (Gemini) for food identification
  4. The API returns the dish name and cuisine guess to your browser
  5. If you log the meal, the image is stored on our servers and associated with that meal log entry
  6. If you discard the identification result without logging, the image is not stored

We do not use food photos to train AI models.

For EU residents (GDPR): you have the right to lodge a complaint with your national supervisory authority.

For California residents (CCPA/CPRA): you have the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information (dietary restrictions) to what's necessary to provide the service. We already do this — we don't use it for anything else.

For Washington state residents (My Health My Data Act): dietary and location data qualify as consumer health data. You have the right to access, delete, and withdraw consent at any time.

No medical advice

WSIET suggests meals. It is not a medical device, a dietitian, or a healthcare provider. Nothing in the app constitutes medical or nutritional advice. If you have a medical condition that affects your diet, consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Children

WSIET is not intended for users under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes (new data types, new processors, new uses), we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top and notify you by email if the change affects how we use sensitive data.
