Your food log is yours

Effective October 17, 2026. AteRight is made by Cardrama, LLC. This page explains, in plain words, what data the app touches and where it goes.

The short version

• Your food log, recipes, weigh-ins, and settings are stored only on your phone. There is no AteRight account and no cloud copy.
• When you use an AI feature, the text or photo for that request is sent to an AI service to be processed, and is not stored by us.
• No ads. No analytics. No tracking across apps or websites. We never sell data.

Data on your device

Meals you log, your saved foods and recipes, weigh-ins, your goal and body details (height, weight, birth year, activity level), and your preferences are kept in the app's private storage on your phone. Uninstalling the app deletes them. Backups exist only if you make one with "Export backup", and you choose where that file goes.

AI features

To work out calories, read photos, analyze recipes, or answer chat questions, the app sends that request's content (for example "turkey sandwich and an apple", or a photo of your plate, a label, a menu, or a recipe) to an AI service:

• With your own key (free version): directly to the provider you chose (Groq, Google Gemini, or Anthropic), under that provider's own terms and privacy policy. Your key is stored securely on your phone.
• With Premium: through our server (api.ateright.com) to Anthropic. Our server passes the request along and returns the answer; it does not keep the content. For the chat feature, the request includes a summary of that day's log so the answers fit your day.

Food lookups may also query the USDA FoodData Central database and Open Food Facts (for barcodes) with the food name or barcode number only.

Steps and health data

If you turn on step reading, AteRight reads your daily step count from Health Connect (Android) or Apple Health (iPhone). Steps are read only, used on your phone, and never sent anywhere or written back.

Premium and payments

Purchases are handled by Google Play or Apple; we never see your card details. To run Premium, our server keeps a license record: the license key, its status, your monthly AI usage count, and, for store purchases, a reference to the purchase so we can confirm it is still active. This record contains no name, email, or food data.

Children

AteRight is meant for adults and is not directed at children under 13.

Your choices

Delete your data at any time by uninstalling the app. To have a Premium license record removed, follow the steps on our data deletion page. Questions about this policy: [email protected].

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and its effective date.
