Our Commitment to Your Privacy

1. The Getter Club Philosophy

Welcome to Getter Club. We designed Getter for meal tracking and weight management with a core belief: your data is sacred and belongs to you. We don't require traditional user accounts, and this policy outlines our unwavering commitment to your privacy.

2. Information We Handle (Not Collect for Ourselves)

a. Data You Entrust to the App:

When you use Getter, you provide information such as your profile details (age, weight, height, gender, activity level), weight goals, meal entries (text descriptions, quantities, nutritional details), and app preferences. This data is essential for the app to function as your personal wellness companion and resides on your device or, if you choose, your encrypted backup.

b. Anonymous Device Identifier (UUID):

Getter generates a unique, anonymous identifier (UUID) for your app installation. This UUID is stored securely in your device's Keychain and may sync via your iCloud account if you enable it. It's a technical necessity for associating your data for optional backup/restore and for us to distinguish aggregated, anonymized usage patterns or error reports without ever knowing who you are.

c. Anonymized Usage Insights (Optional & Aggregated):

To improve Getter for everyone, we look at anonymized, aggregated usage data through PostHog (e.g., which features are popular, common screen flows). This includes the anonymous device identifier, app version, OS, and some general preferences (like unit system, backup status). It never includes your personal meal data, name, email, or precise location. This is about making the app better, not about knowing you.

d. Anonymous Error Reporting Data:

If the app encounters an error, we collect diagnostic information via Sentry to fix bugs. This includes the anonymous device identifier, error details, and device context (OS version, model). We configure Sentry to minimize any data collection, focusing only on what helps us make Getter more reliable.

3. How Your Information is Used (For Your Benefit)

a. Core App Functionality:

Your profile, meal, and preference data is stored locally on your device and used directly within the app to provide features like calorie tracking, progress monitoring, and personalized calculations. It's your data, working for you, on your device.

b. Optional End-to-End Encrypted Cloud Backup:

If you enable cloud backup, your data is end-to-end encrypted (AES-256-GCM) *on your device* before being securely transmitted (HTTPS) and stored in Cloudflare R2. Your unique encryption key is generated on your device and stored in your Keychain (synced via iCloud). Only you can decrypt it. This allows you to restore your data or sync across your devices using the same iCloud account. We cannot access this encrypted data.

c. App Refinement (With Anonymized Data):

Anonymized analytics and error reports help us identify areas for improvement, fix bugs, and understand feature popularity, leading to a better app for the entire Getter Club.

d. AI Meal Analysis (Ephemeral & Secure):

When you log a meal, the text prompt is sent to our secure AI service (via Cloudflare) for nutritional analysis. This prompt is processed solely for this purpose and is not stored long-term or used for anything else. The results are sent back to your device.

4. Data Storage and Security: Our Fortress

a. Local Storage on Your Device:

Your primary data lives locally on your device using secure storage mechanisms.

b. Cloud Storage (End-to-End Encrypted Backup):

Backup data on Cloudflare R2 is unreadable by us or anyone else without your device and its unique Keychain key. Our backend systems use secure HTTPS and token authentication for transfer, but the data itself remains encrypted by you.

c. Your Keychain: The Key to Your Castle:

We leverage your device's secure Keychain (which syncs via your iCloud account) to store your anonymous device identifier and your unique data encryption key for backups. This is Apple-grade security that you control.

5. Data Sharing: We Don't. (With Caveats for Functionality)

We do not sell your personal data. Ever. We only share the absolute minimum necessary information with the following trusted third-party service providers for essential app functions:

• Cloudflare (R2 Storage, Workers, AI Gateway): Infrastructure for secure, end-to-end encrypted cloud backup, API handling, and AI meal analysis. Data sent for backup is encrypted by *you* before it reaches them. (Their Privacy Policy)
• Sentry: For anonymized error reports and crash diagnostics to help us fix bugs. (Their Privacy Policy)
• PostHog: For collecting anonymized, aggregated product analytics to understand app usage and improve features for everyone. (Their Privacy Policy)

These services have their own robust privacy policies. We ensure they only receive what's needed for their specific function in making Getter work for you.

6. Your Control, Your Rights

a. Access and Modification:

You can access and modify your profile, preferences, and meal data directly within the Getter app at any time. It's your information.

b. Data Deletion:

Deleting Getter from your device removes all locally stored application data. If cloud backup was enabled, backups are associated with your anonymous device identifier and are pruned over time. Disabling cloud backup in settings stops future uploads. The anonymous identifier and encryption key in your Keychain may persist unless you explicitly clear Keychain data via system settings (an iOS function).

c. Backup Control:

You command the optional cloud backup feature. Enable or disable it at any time in Getter's settings.

7. Children's Privacy

Getter is intended for individuals aged 18 or older (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect data from children.

8. Policy Evolution

We may refine this privacy policy. Significant changes will be communicated by updating the "Effective Date." We encourage Getter Club members to review this policy periodically.
