Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how RajaPrabha LLC ("Gutman," "we," "us") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use the Gutman application and related services (the "Service").
1. Information We Collect
Account information. When you sign up with Sign in with Apple, Google, or email/password, we receive an identifier and your email address, and (where available) your name. With Sign in with Apple you may choose to hide your email, in which case we receive a private relay address.
Profile information you provide. Optional details you enter, such as gender, age, height, weight, ethnicity, hometown, home country, nutrition goals, and any health conditions you choose to record (for example, diabetes or digestive conditions). Health-condition information is sensitive; you choose whether to provide it, and it is used only to tailor in-app guidance.
Meal and usage content. Meals you log by text, photo, or voice; the nutritional breakdowns generated for them; your chat messages with the AI assistant; and your progress over time.
Apple Health (HealthKit) data. If you grant permission, we read certain values from Apple Health (such as biological sex, height, weight, and active energy) to personalize calculations. We access this data only with your consent, use it solely to provide app features, and do not use Health data for advertising or sell it. You can revoke access at any time in the Health app or iOS Settings.
Device and diagnostic data. Operational metrics and logs (such as feature latency, success/failure of operations, and engagement counts) used to monitor reliability and improve the Service.
We do not intentionally collect precise location, contacts, or payment card details. Any subscription purchases are handled by the Apple App Store, not by us.
2. How We Use Information
- Provide core features: meal logging, AI nutritional analysis, coaching, progress analytics, and notifications.
- Authenticate you and keep your data isolated to your account.
- Personalize guidance based on your goals and any health conditions you enter.
- Operate, secure, monitor, debug, and improve the Service.
- Communicate with you about the Service.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.
We do not use your personal content to serve third-party advertising, and we do not sell your personal information.
3. AI Processing
To generate nutritional estimates and coaching, the meal text, images, and relevant context you submit are sent to a third-party AI provider (Google Gemini) through our secured server-side proxy. We transmit only what is needed to produce a response. Do not submit information you do not want processed by an AI provider. AI output may be inaccurate; see our Terms for important disclaimers.
4. How Information Is Stored and Shared
Hosting. Your data is stored using Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the US West (Oregon, us-west-2) region, with access scoped per user.
Service providers we share with, only to operate the Service:
- Amazon Web Services — authentication (Cognito), API (AppSync), database (DynamoDB), serverless compute (Lambda), and monitoring (CloudWatch).
- Google — federated sign-in and AI processing (Gemini).
- Apple — Sign in with Apple and HealthKit (on your device).
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a business transfer, subject to this Policy. We do not sell personal information.
5. Data Retention
- Chat history: retained for approximately 7 days, then automatically deleted.
- Operational metrics/logs: retained for approximately 30 days, then automatically deleted.
- Meals and profile: retained while your account is active.
- Account deletion: when you delete your account, we schedule deletion with a grace period (currently 30 days). Signing back in during that period cancels deletion. After the grace period, your meal logs, chat history, metrics, profile, and authentication identity are permanently removed. Residual copies may remain briefly in backups or where retention is legally required.
6. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing.
- Access/update: edit your profile and goals in the app.
- Delete: use "Delete Account" in the app, or contact us.
- Health data: manage or revoke HealthKit permissions in the Health app or iOS Settings.
- Requests: contact us at pmiriyal@gmail.com. We will respond as required by applicable law. For EEA/UK users, our legal bases include performing our contract with you, your consent (e.g., health data and HealthKit), and our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Service. You may also lodge a complaint with your data protection authority.
7. Security
We use measures such as per-user authorization, encryption in transit, server-side handling of secrets and API keys, and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
9. International Users
Your information is processed and stored in the United States. By using the Service, you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, which may have different data-protection laws than your country.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy. If changes are material, we will provide reasonable notice (for example, in-app or by email). The "Last updated" date reflects the latest revision.
