EatSafe

Privacy, terms, and how to reach us

EatSafe plans meals around the things you cannot eat. This page covers what we store, what never leaves your phone, and the limits of what the app can promise.

Read this first

EatSafe is a planning tool, not a medical device. It checks meals against the restrictions you enter and flags conflicts, but it cannot guarantee that a food is safe for you.

Recipes are generated by an AI model and re-checked automatically. Both steps can miss things: ingredient names vary, manufacturers change formulations, and shared equipment introduces allergens no recipe lists. Always read the packaging yourself, and never rely on this app alone for a severe allergy.

Privacy Policy

What we store

Your email address, a hashed version of your password, the dietary restrictions and preferences you enter, and a record of how many plans and swaps you have generated. Your restrictions can reveal health information, so treat that field the way you would any medical note.

What stays on your phone

Signed out, nothing leaves your device at all. Once you have an account, your recent meal plans, saved meals, weight history and food log are copied to it so they survive a new phone — that is what the account is for. Your grocery list and what you have ticked off stay on the device either way, and the ingredient safety check always runs on your phone.

Who else sees it

To build a plan we send your restrictions and preferences to Anthropic's API, which generates the meals. We do not send your email address or any other account detail with it. We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising.

Why we count usage

Every plan costs us money to generate, so we record the cost of each request against your account to enforce your allowance. That record contains no recipe or meal content.

Where food data comes from

Barcode and nutrition lookups use two public databases: FoodData Central, published by the United States Department of Agriculture, and Open Food Facts, a community database licensed under the Open Database License. Product records belong to those projects, not to us, and neither of them vouches for EatSafe.

Deleting your data

Deleting your account from Settings permanently removes your account, restrictions and usage history from our servers. Plans saved on your phone are removed when you delete the app.

Terms of Service

What EatSafe is

EatSafe builds meal plans that work around the dietary restrictions you enter, and checks every ingredient it suggests against those restrictions. It is a planning tool. It is not a medical service, a dietitian, or an allergy test, and it cannot see the label on the food in your kitchen.

You are responsible for what you eat

Recipes are generated by an AI model and re-checked automatically. Both steps can miss things. Ingredient names vary, manufacturers change formulations, and shared equipment can introduce allergens that no recipe lists. Always read packaging yourself, and never rely on this app alone for a severe allergy.

Your account

You need an account to generate plans. Keep your password to yourself; you are responsible for activity on your account. You can delete your account at any time from Settings, which permanently removes your restrictions and usage history.

Subscriptions

The 3-month plan starts with a 14-day free trial, once per Apple Account. The monthly and yearly plans have no trial. Pro is an auto-renewing subscription billed through the App Store. Cancel before the trial ends and you are not charged. It renews until cancelled, and you cancel it in your App Store settings rather than in this app. Plans and swaps are limited per month; the current limits are shown on your profile.

Fair use

Generating a plan costs us money on every request, so accounts are limited to the allowance shown on your profile. Do not create multiple accounts to work around those limits, or use the app in a way that interferes with it working for anyone else.

Changes

We may update these terms as the app changes. If we make a significant change we will say so in the app before it takes effect.

Support

Why is a meal flagged?

After a plan comes back, EatSafe re-scans every ingredient on your device against your restrictions. A flag means one of those ingredients matched something you avoid. Open the meal to see exactly which word triggered it, then swap the meal or adjust the recipe yourself.

Why do I need an account?

An account is where your restrictions, saved meals and progress are kept, so they survive a new phone. It is not what unlocks planning — that is Pro. Signed out you still get the three-day sample, barcode scanning, food search, the grocery list and the safety scan.

What does "how strict" change?

Severity changes how the plan is written and how loudly a match is flagged. Anything marked as an allergy or severe is treated as a hard constraint and gets cross-contamination warnings; preferences are avoided where practical.

I ran out of plans

A free account does not include generated weeks — what is free is the three-day sample, built on your device from meals that ship with the app. Pro plans full weeks and starts with 14 days free on the 3-month plan; the monthly numbers are on your profile.

Something looks wrong

If a meal is flagged that should be safe, or worse, one is not flagged that should be, please tell us. Getting the scanner right matters more to us than any other part of the app.

Get in touch

Anything at all — a meal flagged wrongly, a subscription problem, or a request to delete your data. It is read by a person.
