Privacy Policy for True Bite
True Bite (“we,” “our,” “us,” or “the App”) values your trust and is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and your rights in relation to that information when you use the True Bite mobile application.
By using True Bite, you acknowledge and consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. Overview
True Bite is a mobile application designed to help users analyze food ingredient lists. The App allows you to take or upload a photo of an ingredients label, which is then processed through OpenAI’s API to categorize and assess the listed ingredients.
We want to make it clear:
We do not store, retain, or sell your images or personal data.
All image analysis is performed by OpenAI’s API.
We do not build profiles, track users, or use data for marketing.
2. Information We Collect
When you use True Bite, we collect only the information necessary to provide the core functionality:
a. User-Provided Information
Ingredient Photos: When you upload or take a photo, that image is sent to OpenAI’s API for processing. The image is not stored on our servers and is not retained once analysis is complete.
b. Information We Do Not Collect
We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any personal identifiers.
We do not store or maintain the images you upload.
We do not track your location, browsing behavior, or contacts.
3. How Your Information is Used
The only use of your uploaded photo is:
Ingredient Categorization: The App sends the image you provide to OpenAI’s API, which analyzes the text and ingredients to return structured information for display within the App.
We do not use your images or data for:
Advertising
Profiling
Selling to third parties
Marketing purposes
4. Role of OpenAI
True Bite relies on OpenAI’s API for ingredient analysis. When you submit a photo, it is transmitted securely to OpenAI’s systems for processing.
OpenAI may process and temporarily retain the data as part of their service operation.
OpenAI’s use of the data is governed by their Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
By using True Bite, you acknowledge that your photos are shared with OpenAI for analysis and are subject to their policies.
We recommend reviewing OpenAI’s policies to understand how they handle input data.
5. Data Retention
No retention by True Bite: We do not keep or store your uploaded photos or any other user data.
Once the analysis is complete and results are delivered to you, your image is not stored by us in any form.
Any temporary processing by OpenAI is outside of our control and covered under their own retention practices.
6. Security
We take reasonable steps to ensure secure transmission of your photos to OpenAI. However:
No method of data transmission over the internet is completely secure.
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
By using the App, you acknowledge and accept these limitations.
7. Children’s Privacy
True Bite is not directed toward children under the age of 13 (or the age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided data through the App, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
8. Your Rights
Because True Bite does not store or maintain your data, most privacy rights such as access, correction, or deletion do not apply. However:
You may stop using the App at any time, which will cease any data transmission to OpenAI.
For rights related to data processed by OpenAI, please refer to OpenAI’s Privacy Policy.
9. Third-Party Services
The App integrates only with OpenAI’s API for ingredient categorization. No other third-party services or SDKs are used for advertising, analytics, or data collection.
10. Liability Disclaimer
By using the App, you agree and acknowledge that:
The analysis provided by True Bite is for informational purposes only and should not be considered medical, dietary, or professional advice.
We make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of the ingredient categorization.
You assume all responsibility for any decisions made based on the App’s output.
The developer of True Bite is not liable for any damages, claims, or consequences arising from the use of the App or reliance on its results.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When changes are made, the “Last Updated” date at the top will be revised. Significant changes may be communicated via in-app notifications or other reasonable means.
