Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 12, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Glycify. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our Flutter-based application (the "App").
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide
- Recipes and meal plans — Recipes you create, edit, save, or delete within the App.
- Meal compositions — Meal items and their eating order that you configure.
- Custom ingredients — Any user-defined ingredients you manually create.
- Favorites and search history — Items you mark as favorites and your recent search queries.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
- Device information — Basic device identifiers and operating system details required for the App to function.
- Usage data — App open counts (used to determine when to show the tutorial).
2.3 Google Authentication
The App uses Google Sign-In for authentication to enable cross-device saving and synchronization of your recipes and meals. When you authenticate:
- We receive a Google user ID (a unique, anonymized identifier) and your Google account email address.
- We do not access, store, or transmit your Google password, contacts, photos, or any other data from your Google account.
- Your Google credentials are used solely to associate your App data with your account.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the App's core features (GI/GL computation, recipe management, meal planning).
- Save and retrieve your recipes, meals, favorites, and preferences.
- Authenticate your identity via Google Sign-In to enable account-linked data storage.
- Improve the App's functionality and user experience.
4. Data Storage
4.1 Local Storage
All recipes, meals, ingredients, favorites, and preferences are stored locally on your device using Hive (a local, encrypted database). We do not automatically upload or sync this data to any external server.
4.2 Cloud Storage
If you authenticate with Google, your recipes and meals may be stored in our cloud infrastructure (hosted on Supabase) to enable access across devices. This data is:
- Linked only to your anonymized Google user ID.
- Encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS).
- Not shared with or sold to any third party.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties.
We may disclose your data only in the following circumstances:
- Service providers — Trusted third-party services that host our cloud infrastructure (Supabase) or handle authentication (Google). These providers process your data only as necessary to perform their services and are bound by confidentiality obligations.
- Legal requirements — If required by law, regulation, or legal process.
- Protection of rights — To protect the rights, property, or safety of Glycify, its users, or others.
6. Third-Party Services
The App integrates the following third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:
- Google Sign-In — Google Privacy Policy
- Supabase — Supabase Privacy Policy
7. Data Retention
Your data is retained for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the App's services. You may delete your account and all associated data at any time through the App settings or by contacting us.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
- Object to or restrict the processing of your data.
- Data portability — request a copy of your data in a machine-readable format.
- Withdraw consent for Google authentication at any time.
To exercise these rights, please contact us at the address below.
9. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
10. Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encrypted local storage and encrypted data transmission. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
