Eat First has no accounts, no analytics, and no servers of its own. Your data lives on your device and in your own iCloud. We could not read it if we wanted to.
You never create an account, and we never ask for your name, email address, or phone number.
The app contains no analytics SDKs, no advertising identifiers, and no third-party trackers of any kind.
Items you add — names, photos, dates, notes — are stored on your device and, when iCloud is available, in your own iCloud (Apple's CloudKit), under your Apple Account. If you use family sharing, your kitchen is shared with the people you invite through Apple's CloudKit sharing (CKShare); it syncs directly between your devices and iCloud. Eat First operates no servers and has no access to any of it.
When you scan a barcode, the app sends only the barcode digits to the free, open Open Food Facts database to look up the product name and category. No personal data, photos, or device identifiers are included. See the Open Food Facts privacy policy.
Expiry-label reading (OCR) and the Chef AI meal suggestions run entirely on your device using Apple's on-device machine learning (Apple Intelligence). Your photos and kitchen contents are never uploaded for processing.
Reminders are local notifications scheduled by the app on your device. They do not pass through any remote push service of ours.
The one-time Family Pack purchase is processed by Apple through the App Store. We receive no payment details; Apple's own privacy policy governs the transaction.
We do not sell, rent, or share any data — we do not have it in the first place.
Delete items inside the app, or delete the app to remove everything from your device; iCloud data can be managed from iOS Settings. There is nothing stored on our side to erase.
If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
