Privacy policy

How ProteinValue collects, uses and protects your data.

Controller

ProteinValue is responsible for processing the app's data.

Contact: support@soumysoft.com.

Data we process

Account: email, user identifier, name and avatar when you sign in with an external provider.

App usage: food, intakes, recipes, shopping list, goals, weight, fasting, social privacy, followers and followed users.

Camera and images: the camera is used to scan barcodes and estimate food from a photo when you request it.

AI: when you use photo or text estimation, we send the image or description through Vercel AI Gateway and compatible model providers to generate a nutritional estimate.

Technical data: session cookies, error logs, AI request metrics, usage limits and idempotency identifiers.

Purpose

We provide the core features: nutritional logging, protein-to-cost comparisons, goals, statistics, fasting, recipes, scanning and the social feed.

We protect accounts, prevent abuse, apply AI usage limits and diagnose errors.

We do not sell your personal data.

Legal basis

We process the data required to provide the service you request when you create and use your account.

We process technical data under our legitimate interest in security, abuse prevention and service improvement.

Optional features such as camera, photo and AI are activated only when you choose to use them.

Providers

Supabase: authentication, database and operational storage for the service.

Vercel AI Gateway and compatible model providers: processing descriptions and images for nutritional estimates.

Open Food Facts: public lookup of scanned products and nutritional data.

Retention

We retain your data while you keep your account or until you delete it.

Photos sent to AI are not stored as files in our database. We retain technical metrics, input hashes and responses required for idempotency, usage limits and diagnostics.
