Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4 August 2026

This page is maintained by MealMove and describes which data we process and why. This is not legal advice; for specific questions, contact us at the email address below.

0. Sharing workouts and route privacy

A share link only contains what you choose to share: your meal, your stats and optionally a map. Your route is never public by default: the first and last part of the track (300 m by default) is removed before the link is created, so your start and finish address stay private.

You can turn the map off entirely, change the size of the privacy zone, and revoke share links at any time under Settings, Route privacy. There is no public profile, follower feed or activity map in MealMove: a shared workout is only reachable through the link you share yourself.

1. Who we are

MealMove ("we", "us") is the controller for the processing of your personal data within this app.

2. What data we collect

  • Account data via Apple or Google (name, email address, unique ID).
  • Profile data you enter yourself: display name, weight, goals, home location.
  • Photos of meals you take with the camera, and the kcal estimate derived from them.
  • GPS location during active workouts, including route, distance and speed.
  • Workout history: activity type, duration, kcal burned, XP and streaks.
  • Technical logs: device type, language, error reports (for stability).

3. What we use data for

  • Making your account work and syncing your progress across devices.
  • Recognising meals and estimating kcal based on your photo.
  • Planning routes that start and end at your current location.
  • Showing progress, streaks and statistics.
  • Keeping the app safe, stable and free of abuse.

4. GPS location

GPS is only used during an active workout. The raw location does not leave your device as "live tracking"; what we store is the workout summary (route, distance, time) so you can review it later. You can revoke location access at any time in your phone settings, the app keeps working without route planning.

5. Where your data is stored

Your account and profile data are stored in our cloud backend (hosted within the EU where available). Meal photos are processed to derive kcal; we store the derived values together with a reference to the photo in your own account.

6. Third parties (subprocessors)

  • Apple and Google, for signing in with their accounts.
  • Google Maps, for showing maps and calculating routes.
  • Lovable Cloud, for storing your account, profile and workout history.
  • AI models, for recognising meals in your photo.

These parties only process data on our behalf and under data processing agreements. We do not sell personal data.

7. How long we keep data

Your data is kept as long as you have an active account. If you delete your account, we erase your profile and workout history within 30 days, except where we are legally required to keep something longer (e.g. billing).

8. Your rights (GDPR)

You have the right to:

  • access your data;
  • have incorrect data corrected;
  • have your data deleted;
  • take your data in a readable format (data portability);
  • object to certain processing;
  • file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority.

Request this via the contact address below. We respond within 30 days.

9. Cookies and local storage

We do not use tracking cookies. The app does store functional data on your device (e.g. your session, workout cache) so the app is fast and offline-friendly. This data does not leave your device unless you sync.

10. Children

MealMove is not intended for children under 16. If we discover we have accidentally processed a minor's data, we delete it as soon as possible.

11. Changes

We may update this policy. We announce material changes in the app before they take effect. The "last updated" date at the top changes with every revision.
