What LakasDiet stores

• Your account: name, username, email address and a hash of your password (never the password itself).
• What you choose to add to your profile: birthday, gender, height and weight, and your macro goals.
• What you log: your diary, your saved foods and recipes, and links or text you import recipes from.
• Meals you plan: for each planned meal, its day and meal, its name and servings, and either the recipe it comes from or the foods in it with their amounts and nutrition values; how many servings you plan to make of a meal, and which planned meals are servings of the same batch. When you log a planned meal, the planned meal is kept and marked as logged.
• Your grocery list: it's worked out from your planned meals each time you open it. What's stored is what you do to it: items you mark as bought, with the amount and which planned meals they were for; amounts you change; the aisle you move a food to; foods you mark as always at home; and items you add yourself.
• Sign-in sessions, with the device's IP address and browser name, so you stay signed in and can be signed out.
• Your app settings, such as your accent colour, are saved with your account and in a cookie on this device, so pages open in your colour.
• A cookie on this device remembers which Kitchen section you opened last (Plan, Groceries, Recipes or Foods), so Kitchen opens there. It stores nothing else.
• While a delete can still be undone, this browser tab briefly keeps which item it is, so the delete still happens if you reload. Nothing else is kept, and it's cleared once the delete is done.
• For AI scans: a fingerprint (hash) of each image and the nutrition read from it, so the same image isn't scanned twice, and counts for the daily limits. Photos and screenshots you scan aren't kept; only the result is saved.
• Server logs with record ids, without what you logged.
• Anonymous timings of how fast pages load and taps respond, whether the app refreshed when you came back to it, and how long adding a meal took (how you added it, such as search or a scan, and how many taps): which screen and how long it took, never what you logged. Kept for 60 days.

Friends you accept can see your saved foods and recipes, not your diary. They can't see your planned meals or your grocery list. The data is kept in a database on LakasDiet's server, copied nightly to a second private server.

Services LakasDiet uses

• AI scans (food photos, nutrition labels, recipe screenshots and pasted recipe text) are sent to Google AI Studio's Gemini and Gemma models to be read.
• Barcode lookups not found locally are asked of Open Food Facts (the barcode only).
• Sign-up and password emails are sent through Resend.

Google Health

Connecting Google Health is optional. When you connect it:

• LakasDiet asks Google only for permission to add nutrition data, and for your Google account's email address to show which account is connected.
• It sends only the nutrition of the meals you send: the dish name, meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack), day and time, calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat and fiber. With “Send new meals automatically” on, that's every meal you log from then on. Edits and deletions in LakasDiet update Google Health.
• Planned meals are never sent to Google Health. A planned meal is sent only after you log it, like any other meal you log. Your grocery list is never sent to Google Health.
• LakasDiet never reads your Google Health data.
• Google's access token is stored encrypted on LakasDiet's server and is never shared. Nothing from Google is sold, used for advertising, or shared with anyone else.
• You can disconnect any time in LakasDiet (You → Settings) or in your Google account's settings. Meals already sent stay in Google Health; you can delete them there.

LakasDiet's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
