Information We Collect
Jamaica Food AI iPhone
Camera & Photo LibraryWhen you scan a dish, we access your camera or photo library to capture or select an image. These images are processed for food recognition and are not stored permanently on our servers without your consent.
Account InformationIf you sign in with Apple, we receive a unique Apple-assigned user ID, your display name (if provided), and optionally your email address (which may be relayed or hidden by Apple). We use this to create and maintain your account.
Nutritional & Scan DataWe store your scan history, calorie logs, and meal entries associated with your account so you can track your progress over time.
Apple Health (Optional)If you enable Apple Health integration, we write nutrition data (calories, macros) to the Health app on your device. We may also read active energy data to adjust your daily calorie budget. This data stays on your device and is governed by Apple's HealthKit policies.
Usage & AnalyticsWe collect anonymized usage data (features used, session duration, crash reports) to improve the app. This data is not linked to your identity.
Jamaica Food Recipes Apple TV
The Apple TV app collects minimal data. There are no user accounts, no sign-in, no camera access, no health data, and no advertising.
Local FavoritesYour favorite recipes are stored locally on your Apple TV using UserDefaults. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to any server.
Pexels Image RequestsThe app requests food photos from the Pexels API using dish names as search queries. No personal data, device identifiers, or account information is sent to Pexels.
