Privacy Policy

Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE]  ·  Last updated: 31 July 2026

1. Who we are

Calgo Fit is a mobile app that estimates the calories and macronutrients in a meal from a photograph, and tracks them against daily targets.

The data controller — data fiduciary under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (the DPDP Act) — is Amit Waman Somkuwar, a sole proprietor established in India, of House No. 910, Lashkaribagh 17/23, Bajirao Sakhre Line, Near Kose Hospital, Nagpur, Maharashtra 440017. You can reach us at support@calgo.in.

This policy covers the Calgo Fit mobile app and these pages. It sits alongside our Terms of Service. Calgo Fit is offered in India only, and this policy is written to India's data protection law.

2. The short version

3. What we collect

3.1 Account and identity

You sign in with Apple or with Google. Authentication is handled by Clerk, which creates and holds your identity record. Through it we receive and store your email address and a user identifier. Your name and profile picture are shown in the app from your Clerk profile. We never see or store your Apple or Google password.

3.2 Body and health-related data

The onboarding questionnaire collects nine answers: gender, date of birth, height, current weight, goal (lose, maintain or gain), target weight, activity level, desired weekly pace, and diet preference. We also store your device's timezone, so that "today" means your day and not ours.

From these we generate and store your daily calorie target, your protein, carbohydrate and fat targets, and a one-line explanation of how they were derived.

Health-related data

Body statistics, diet preference and meal photographs are health-related data. Under India’s Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011 they are "sensitive personal data or information". We handle them only with your explicit consent, and you can withdraw that consent at any time by deleting your account. Treating this data as sensitive is not the same as it being clinical: Calgo Fit is a general wellness and self-tracking tool, it is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition, and nothing we store about you is a clinical record or is used as one.

3.3 Meal photographs and nutrition records

When you log a meal we store the photograph you took or chose, and the record produced from it: the meal name, the estimated calories, protein, carbohydrate and fat, the time you logged it, and whether the analysis succeeded or failed.

Photographs are taken from your camera or picked from your photo library. Nothing leaves your device until you tap to analyse a meal. If the model decides a photo is not food, the record is discarded — though the uploaded image file itself remains in storage until you delete your account.

3.4 Diagnostic and technical data

We use Sentry to detect crashes and diagnose bugs. Sentry receives:

Sentry does not record your screen. Session replay is switched off in the app — no session is recorded, sampled or uploaded, masked or otherwise, and that applies to error sessions too. Nothing that appears on your screen, including your meal photographs, is captured as a recording.

We also record a small number of events describing how far you got in the app — that onboarding completed, that a meal scan finished, how long it took, and whether it succeeded. These carry your goal, your generated calorie target, your timezone and a meal's calorie count. They exist to tell us the product is working, not to profile you.

4. What we do not collect

This list is as much a part of the policy as the one above, and it is verifiable in our source code:

One thing to be aware of

On Android the app declares the RECORD_AUDIO permission, and on iOS a microphone usage string. These come from the camera library we use and are not used by Calgo Fit — we never record or transmit audio. We intend to remove them.

5. Why we process your data, and the consent it rests on

Under the DPDP Act we may process your personal data only for a lawful purpose for which you have given us free, specific, informed, unconditional and unambiguous consent, and only the data needed for that purpose. Every use below rests on that consent, given when you accept this policy and continue through the app.

Data Purpose Basis under the DPDP Act
Email address, user identifier Create your account, sign you in, keep your data available across devices Your consent, given when you create an account
Body statistics, diet preference, timezone Generate and store your daily calorie and macronutrient targets Your explicit consent, given before the questionnaire
Meal photographs and nutrition records Estimate what you ate and show you your day Your explicit consent, given before a photo is analysed
Crash reports, performance traces, user identifier Keep the app working, find and fix defects, prevent abuse Your consent to diagnostics, given when you accept this policy
Feedback you submit Answer you and improve the app Your consent, given when you send the feedback

You may withdraw your consent at any time, and with the same ease with which you gave it, by deleting your account (section 12). Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out beforehand. If you withdraw consent we stop processing and erase your data, except where a law requires us to keep it.

Before you have an account. You can complete the questionnaire and see your targets before signing in. In that flow your answers are sent to our servers and on to Google to generate the plan, but nothing is written to our database and no account exists. Your answers are saved only once you sign in and the plan is attached to an account.

6. Who else receives your data

We do not sell your data and we do not share it for anyone else's marketing. We use the following processors to run the Service. Each receives only what it needs, and each is bound by a written contract to process it solely on our instructions and to protect it to a standard at least equal to the one this policy sets out. We do not pass your data to any third party that offers weaker protection than we do.

Provider What it receives Why
Clerk Email address, sign-in identity, session and device metadata Account creation and authentication
Apple, Google Sign-in request; app distribution You chose them as your sign-in provider
Google (Gemini API) — the AI provider we use today. Should it be unavailable we may send the same request to another provider instead; we will name any such provider in this table before it receives anything, and the app tells you who reads your photograph before you agree to send it. Your meal photographs (resized) and your onboarding answers, including age derived from your date of birth Estimating meal nutrition and generating your targets
ImageKit Your meal photographs Image storage and delivery
Neon Your profile, targets and meal records Our database
Trigger.dev Onboarding answers, meal identifiers and image links, email address for account-sync events Runs the background jobs that generate plans and analyse meals
Sentry Diagnostics as described in section 3.4, including user identifier and IP address Crash reporting and debugging
Expo App framework and API hosting Runs the app and its server endpoints

We may also disclose data where we are legally required to, or to establish or defend legal claims. If the Service is ever transferred to another operator, we will tell you before your data moves.

7. Where your data goes

Calgo Fit is offered in India, but your data is stored and processed outside India. Our database is hosted in the United States (Neon, on AWS us-east-2), our meal photographs are stored in the United States (ImageKit, North Virginia), and Google processes your photographs and answers in the United States. Our diagnostics are processed in Germany (Sentry's EU region).

Under section 16 of the DPDP Act a transfer out of India is permitted unless the Central Government restricts the destination country by notification; none of the countries named above is currently restricted. We remain answerable to you for your data wherever it sits, and we place each provider under a written contract that binds it to process your data only on our instructions and to protect it to the standard this policy describes. [CONFIRM the data-processing agreement with each provider]

8. How long we keep it

Data Retention
Profile, targets, meal records and photographs Until you delete your account. We run no automatic expiry or inactivity purge, so an account left untouched keeps its data indefinitely until you delete it yourself from the Profile tab.
Sign-in identity Deleted with your account
Diagnostic data held by Sentry [SENTRY RETENTION — typically 30–90 days by plan]
Background job history held by Trigger.dev [TRIGGER.DEV RETENTION — confirm on your plan]
Encrypted backups [BACKUP RETENTION — confirm with Neon]

9. How we protect your data

These are the measures actually implemented in the app and its API:

Encryption at rest, physical security and network isolation are provided by our infrastructure providers under their own certifications. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects your rights, we will notify you and the competent authority as the law requires — under the DPDP Act, notice to each affected Data Principal and to the Data Protection Board of India without delay.

10. Automated processing

Your daily targets and every meal estimate are produced automatically by AI models, with no human review. If the model fails or returns an implausible target, the app falls back to a standard published formula and shows you that result instead, without indicating which method was used.

We do not consider this to produce legal or similarly significant effects on you: the output is a nutrition estimate, not a decision about you, and nothing follows from it automatically. We do not profile you for advertising, scoring or any other purpose. If you disagree with a result or want a human to look at it, write to us at support@calgo.in.

11. Your rights

As a Data Principal under the DPDP Act, you have the right to:

The DPDP Act does not grant a right to data portability or a right to object to processing. We say so plainly rather than promise rights the law does not give you — but if you want a copy of your data in a usable form, ask, and we will send one.

How these work in practice

Erasure is self-service — Profile tab, immediate, no request needed. Access and correction are handled manually: the app has no data-export screen, and there is currently no screen for editing your body statistics after onboarding. Email support@calgo.in and we will action your request. We respond within 30 days. Rule 14(3) of the DPDP Rules allows a Data Fiduciary up to ninety days to respond to a grievance; the 30 days we promise here is our own, stricter commitment, and it is the one we hold ourselves to.

12. What deletion really removes — and what it does not

Deleting your account from the Profile tab is immediate and permanent. There is no recovery period and we cannot restore it. It removes:

Being straight with you about what it does not reach:

If you want these cleared sooner, email support@calgo.in and we will make the requests on your behalf.

13. Children

Calgo Fit is not intended for anyone under 18, and our Terms of Service require you to be at least that age. We do not knowingly collect data from children. The app asks for your date of birth to calculate calorie needs, not to verify your age. If you believe a child has given us their data, contact us at support@calgo.in and we will delete it.

14. Changes to this policy

We will update this policy when what we do changes. The current version always lives at this address with its effective date at the top. Where a change materially affects how we use your data, we will make reasonable efforts to tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect, and where the law requires it we will ask for your consent again.

15. Contact and complaints

For any privacy question, or to exercise any right above, write to support@calgo.in, or to House No. 910, Lashkaribagh 17/23, Bajirao Sakhre Line, Near Kose Hospital, Nagpur, Maharashtra 440017, India. Complaints are handled by our Grievance Officer, Amit Waman Somkuwar, who can be reached at that same email address. He will acknowledge your complaint within 24 hours of receiving it and resolve it within 15 days, and in no case later than one month, which is the outer limit the SPDI Rules, 2011 allow.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India, after first raising the matter with us — the DPDP Act requires you to exhaust our grievance redressal before approaching the Board.

To complain to the Board: first email us at support@calgo.in with the word "Grievance" in the subject line, and keep our reply, or a note of the date you wrote if we do not reply. Then take the complaint to the Board, which the DPDP Act requires to function as a digital office — complaints are filed and heard online, with no need to appear in person. The Board publishes its filing channel and its current contact details through the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology at www.meity.gov.in; if you cannot find them, write to us and we will send you the current route. Complaining to the Board costs you nothing and does not require a lawyer.

Reviewer notes — remove before publishing

This draft is not legal advice and must be reviewed by a qualified attorney or data-protection adviser before publication. It was written from the codebase as it stands on 31 July 2026 and describes actual behaviour, not intentions.

Blocking — the policy is untrue until these ship:

Assumptions taken (confirm or correct):

Evidence for the less obvious claims:

Deliberately not claimed: encryption at rest by us (it is our providers'), penetration testing, security certifications, staff training, a DPO (Calgo Fit is not a Significant Data Fiduciary), cookie or web-tracking practices (there are none — this is a mobile app), and any data-sale or targeted-advertising disclosure, since neither occurs.
