Privacy Policy

Last updated June 19, 2026

Nirra is a nutrition tracking app, and the information it works with is some of the most personal a phone can hold: what you eat, what you weigh, what your body cannot tolerate. The short version: Nirra has no account and no login, and your nutrition data stays on your device, not our servers. This page explains, in plain language, what stays on your phone, the few things that leave it, and what we never do with any of it.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us

• No account. Nirra has no sign in and no user account. We do not collect your name, email address, or a password. Everything below is stored on your device, not on a Nirra server.
• Profile and health information. Anything you enter during onboarding or in Settings: age range, gender, height, weight, activity level, goals, diet preferences, allergies, health conditions, vitamin deficiencies, supplements, and meal reminder times.
• Meals and scans. Foods you log, photos you scan, voice transcripts you confirm, recipes you build, and any edits you make to a scan.
• Weight, water, and supplement logs. Each entry, the date and time, and any note you add.

Information collected automatically

• App usage. Anonymous, aggregated information about which screens are used, which features are tapped, and how often, so we can improve the app. This is never tied to identifiable nutrition information.
• Crash and error reports. If the app crashes or hits an error, we collect a technical report so we can fix it. These do not include your meals, profile, or photos.
• Device information. Operating system version, app version, language, and approximate region. Used for compatibility, not advertising.

Information from other sources, with your permission

• Apple Health (iOS). If you turn it on, Nirra reads body data such as weight and writes meal nutrition into Health. You can revoke either direction at any time in iOS Settings.
• Camera, microphone, and photo library. Used only when you actively scan a barcode, take a meal photo, record a voice log, or pick a photo. We do not access these in the background.
• Notifications. Used only to send the meal and supplement reminders you configure.

2. How we use your information

• To compute your daily calorie and macro targets and the Personal Fit verdict on what you scan.
• To run the app: log meals, save your history, and keep your profile, all stored locally on your device.
• To detect and fix crashes, bugs, and performance problems.
• To improve features and the accuracy of the food and ingredient database, using anonymous, aggregated data only.
• To send you the reminders and product communications you opt in to.

3. How we share your information

We do not sell your information. We do not share identifiable nutrition or health information with advertisers or data brokers. We share information only in the following limited cases.

• Service providers. The AI provider that analyses your scans, the nutrition databases we look foods up in, and our analytics and crash reporting partners. They process only what is needed for that task, under contracts that limit them to the work we ask them to do.
• Legal compliance. If we are legally required to disclose information by court order or law enforcement request, we will comply with the narrowest scope possible and notify you when we are allowed to.
• Business transfer. If Nirra is ever acquired, your information may transfer to the new owner. We will notify you in advance and your rights under this policy will continue.

4. AI and machine learning

Nirra uses AI to recognise foods in photos, transcribe and parse voice logs, and produce nutrition insights. We do not use your meals, photos, or profile to train third party AI models. Photos and audio you submit are used only to produce the result you asked for and are not retained beyond what is needed to deliver that result and improve the food database in aggregate, anonymous form.

5. How long we keep your information

• On-device data. Your profile, meals, scans, and logs stay on your device until you delete them or uninstall the app. We never receive a copy.
• Scan inputs. Photos, audio, and text you submit for a scan are used to produce that result and are not retained afterwards.
• Crash and analytics data. Kept up to 90 days, then aggregated or deleted.

6. Your rights and controls

You can do all of the following from the app or by emailing us.

• View and edit. Everything in your profile, history, recipes, and supplements is editable from Settings.
• Delete. Remove any entry from the app, or wipe everything at once from Settings. Uninstalling Nirra also erases all local data. Because there is no account, there is nothing on our side to delete.
• Withdraw consent. Turn off Apple Health, camera, microphone, photo library, and notifications from your device's Settings at any time.
• Object or restrict. If you live in the EU, UK, or California you have additional rights to object to or restrict certain processing. Email us and we will help.

7. Children

Nirra is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has used Nirra, contact us and we will delete the account.

8. Security

Anything that leaves your device — the inputs to a scan, anonymous analytics — travels encrypted over the network. Your nutrition data itself stays on your phone, protected by the device's own security. No method of electronic storage is 100% secure, but we treat this information with the seriousness it deserves and follow industry best practices.

9. International transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than the one you live in. Where we transfer information out of the EU, UK, or other regions with strict data protection laws, we use approved transfer mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

10. Changes to this policy

We will update this policy when we change something material. The "Last updated" date at the top will change, and we will tell you in the app for any change that affects your rights or the kinds of information we collect.

11. Contact

Questions, requests, or complaints about your data go to support@hellonirra.com. We aim to reply within 7 days.
