PreMunch APP User Privacy Agreement
Preface
"PreMunch" respects and protects your personal information and privacy security. We process personal information in accordance with the principles of legality, legitimacy, necessity, and minimization, providing you with services such as calorie tracking, food nutrient analysis, and weight management. This agreement explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect your personal information, as well as the related rights you can exercise.
Special Note: This app supports a visitor mode, which allows you to use the main functions except those requiring subscription authorization and separate consent for AI features without providing your phone number, email, or Apple account to log in. You can also purchase paid subscriptions through the App Store. Registering a real-name account through Apple Login is an optional method used for cross-device data synchronization and account recovery.
Article I. Personal Information We Collect
1.1 Two Types of Usage Methods
We adopt two mutually independent usage and storage methods:
- Guest Mode: No Apple login or phone number is required. Data is stored locally on your device by default. After successful subscription, we may establish a device-bound guest profile in the cloud based on local device credentials, which is used for subscription benefit verification and nutritional calculation; this profile is not associated with an Apple account or phone number.
- Real-Name Account Mode (Optional): You voluntarily enable it after registering via Apple login, which is used for multi-device data synchronization and account recovery.
1.2 Information You Provide Voluntarily
- Real-Name Registration Information (Purely Optional): Account identifiers, profile pictures, nicknames, etc. obtained through Apple login are used only for multi-device synchronization and account management; we do not collect phone numbers as a mandatory registration requirement.
- Basic Health Information: Height, weight, gender, age, target weight, physical activity level, etc., which are essential parameters for core calculation functions, may be stored in the local guest profile on your device or in your real-name account.
- Diet and Exercise Record Information: Food names, serving sizes, times, calories and nutrients, food pictures, exercise records, etc., which are essential data for comprehensive calculation.
- Feedback Information: Consultations, suggestions, fault feedback, and attachments submitted by you.
1.3 Information Obtained Through System Permissions
- Camera / Album: Used for food photo recognition, image upload, and record saving.
- Microphone: Used for voice input of diet content.
- Fitness and Health (HealthKit): Used to read step counts and calculate activity consumption, and to read body-weight records, calculate basal metabolism, and display weight trends. The native iOS HealthKit sheet lets you grant step and weight access separately.
- Network and Device Information: Used to ensure service stability, conduct troubleshooting, and index guest device profiles.
- After you separately consent to the "AI Data Processing Statement" within the App, content obtained via the camera, album, and microphone may be sent to third-party AI or voice service providers, as detailed in Article VII.
1.4 Synchronized Information from Third-Party Platforms
Upon your authorization, we may obtain necessary fitness and health data from device health platforms or wearable device platforms for integrated analysis and display; synchronized data will be stored in the local guest profile or real-name account you are currently using.
Article II. Purposes of Information Use
- Provide Core Functions: Calorie calculation, comprehensive nutritional analysis, daily intake target generation, and weight management recommendations.
- Ensure Subscription Services: Verification of member status based on App Store orders, synchronization of renewals and entitlements.
- Guest Profile Storage: Provision of back-end comprehensive calculation and assessment capabilities for paid guest users, and storage of data necessary to implement this function.
- Ensure Account and Service Security: Real-name account login authentication, risk control, and abnormality investigation.
- Improve Product Experience: De-identification or aggregated statistical analysis, performance optimization, and algorithm iteration.
Article III Special Notes on Sensitive Personal Information
Height, weight, age, exercise data, diet records, and other relevant data constitute sensitive personal information. We only process such information within the scope necessary to deliver our core functions and have implemented strict protection measures.
- The sensitive information in the guest profile is only bound to the local device credentials and is not associated with Apple accounts, mobile phone numbers, or other personally identifiable information of natural persons;
- You may disable relevant system permissions in your system settings, or submit a request within the App to withdraw your consent to AI data processing;
- You are not required to register for a real-name account to purchase paid subscription products within the App.
Article IV. Sharing, Transfer, and Disclosure
Without your consent, we will not sell or disclose your personal information to unrelated third parties. We will only share necessary information in the following circumstances:
- Where we entrust cloud service providers to process relevant information for the purpose of service delivery;
- With your explicit authorization;
- When mandatorily required by laws, regulations, or judicial authorities;
- After you provide separate consent to AI data processing within the App, we will share the minimum scope of data necessary to realize the corresponding functions with the AI/voice service providers listed in Article VII.
Special Statement: Data contained in guest profiles will not be shared with any third party for advertising placement, user profiling, or other purposes not essential to service provision.
Article V Storage and Protection
- Storage Location: All business data shall, in principle, be stored within mainland China, except for the data transmission of cross-border AI service providers listed in Article VII.
