Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy Effective Date: 18th April 2025 Updated: 16th July 2025 Snax (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how the Snax mobile app handles your data. By using Snax, you agree to the terms of this policy.
1. Data Collection: Snax collects the following types of data to provide and improve app functionality: Food and drink logs (text, photo, or voice-to-text), daily reflections (journal entries, physical or emotional symptoms), facial images (optional selfies for wellness analysis), and user account information (email address and authentication credentials via Firebase Authentication).
2. How Your Data is Stored: Data is securely stored using Google Firebase, a third-party cloud service provider. This includes user account credentials (managed by Firebase Authentication), and food logs, reflections, and related content (stored in Firebase Cloud Firestore or Firebase Storage, depending on the data type). Facial images used for AI-driven wellness analysis may be processed either locally or through cloud infrastructure, depending on your device capabilities and future app updates. Where cloud processing is used, it will also be handled securely through Firebase.
3. Third-Party Services: Snax uses third-party services as part of its core infrastructure, specifically: Google Firebase for authentication, secure data storage, and app infrastructure. Firebase complies with industry standards for data protection and is certified under frameworks like ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR (where applicable). We do not use third-party services for advertising or analytics (unless introduced in a future update, in which case this policy will be updated accordingly). Your data is never sold or shared with advertisers or unrelated third parties.
4. Your Privacy Rights: You create an account using Firebase Authentication (e.g., email and password). You can access, update, or delete your data through the app settings. If you delete your account, all associated data stored in Firebase will also be deleted. You may also contact us directly to request deletion of your account and stored data.
5. Security: We use Firebase's built-in security features and encryption protocols to protect your data in transit and at rest. Your personal data is further protected by any local device security features you enable (e.g., passcode, Face ID).
6. Changes to This Policy: We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted in the app or on our official website. Continued use of Snax after changes are made implies your acceptance of the updated policy.
