CaloriesJury privacy policy

Last updated: November 12, 2026

CaloriesJury estimates the calories in your meals. This policy explains what happens to your information.

What stays on your phone

Your meals, meal photos, notes, favorites, weights, the calories burned you type in, and settings are stored only on your phone, inside the app. We do not have servers that store them, and there is no account. They are included in your phone's own backups (for example iCloud backup) if you have those turned on. Deleting a meal deletes its photo; deleting the app deletes everything.

What is sent to estimate a meal

Estimating a meal needs an internet connection. To estimate calories, the photo and note of the meal you are logging (or your description of it), and any correction you type, are sent over an encrypted connection to OpenRouter, which passes them to three AI model providers (currently Anthropic, Google and Meta). They are used only to answer that request. We do not use them for advertising and do not sell them. The providers' own terms apply to how they handle requests.

Nothing else about your meals is sent: not your name, location, contacts, weight or other meals. (Anonymous usage statistics are described below.)

A meal you log from your favorites, or whose calories you enter yourself, is not sent anywhere.

Apple Health

If you allow it, the app reads the active calories you burned (for example from an Apple Watch) to show them next to what you ate. Health data is read on your phone only. It is never sent anywhere, never used for advertising, and the app never writes to Apple Health. You can turn access off at any time in the iPhone Settings app → Health → Data Access & Devices → CaloriesJury.

Camera, photos and microphone

The camera and photo library are used only to take or choose the meal photo. The microphone and speech recognition are used only when you dictate a note, which Apple's speech recognition turns into text.

Usage statistics

The app sends anonymous usage statistics to Google Firebase Analytics so we can see how it is used and what to improve. Examples: when an estimate is requested, how long it took, when a meal or weight is saved, and which screens are opened. The statistics come with:

a random ID for this installation of the app (not your name, email or Apple ID)
your approximate country (worked out from your IP address)
your phone model, iOS version and app version

Usage statistics never include your meals, photos, notes, calories, weights or Health data. The app does not use the advertising identifier, shows no ads, and does not track you across other apps or websites. You can turn usage statistics off at any time in the app: Settings → Usage stats.

Daily limit

To keep the free beta fair, the app counts how many estimates you ask for each day. The count is kept on your phone only.

The app has no ads.

Health disclaimer

CaloriesJury is for general information and tracking only. It is not a medical device and does not give medical, diet or nutrition advice. Calories and macros are estimates by AI models from a photo or a description, and can be wrong. Talk to a doctor or a registered dietitian before you change your diet, especially if you are pregnant, or have diabetes, an eating disorder or another health condition.

Children

CaloriesJury is not meant for children under 13.
