AI processing

What this permission covers

Calorific uses an AI service run by a third party, Anthropic (Claude), to estimate calories and nutrients and to write training plans, adjustments and weekly reviews. To do that, our server sends it the information each request needs.

We ask for this separately from the terms and the data protection policy, because it means sharing your personal data, including health information, with another company.

What is sent

Meal photos and the text you type about food, including corrections.

For plans and reviews: your training history, check-in figures such as energy, soreness and sleep hours, and a limited set of body details (age, sex, height, weight, goal, activity level, and any health conditions, injuries or limits you list). Body details that came from Apple Health are included once they are part of your account.

Not sent: notes you write on check-ins, your email address, your name, or your exact location. Progress photos are sent only if you also switch on "Let the AI read my photos", and problem reports only if you switch on AI help for them.

How it is handled

Requests go from our server to Anthropic under paid terms that do not allow your data to be used to train models. Anthropic may keep what it receives for a limited time, at the time of writing up to 30 days, mainly to watch for abuse.

If we ever move a feature to a different AI provider, we will update this agreement and ask you again before anything is sent to it.

Your choice

This permission is needed for the AI features of an account: photo and text meal analysis, plans, plan changes and reviews. If you do not give it, you can use demo mode instead, which runs on your device with no AI service.

You can withdraw it at any time by deleting your account in Settings, or by writing to us. Write to us at privacy@calorific.co, or from Settings > Report a problem. Withdrawing it does not undo requests already made.

The Data protection policy explains the rest of how your data is handled.
