RytDait ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use and store it, and your rights as a user.

RytDait is a meal-planning and habit tool. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and it is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information when you use RytDait:

• Account credentials: phone number or email address used for authentication via Firebase
• Health profile: name, age, gender, weight, height, activity level, target weight, health conditions, food allergies, diet type, cuisine preference, and fitness goals — provided by you to personalise meal plans
• Meal & usage data: meal logs, cuisine preferences, streak history, and in-app activity
• Device information: device identifier used to enforce single-device session security
• Purchase data: subscription status and original transaction identifiers from Apple IAP (we do not store full payment card details)
• AI data-sharing consent: whether you agreed in-app to share limited diet-profile details with our AI processing partners for meal planning

2. How We Use Your Information

• Generate and refresh personalised 7-day meal plans on our backend servers (using third-party AI providers — see Section 4), only after you give in-app permission
• Track nutrition progress, habit streaks, and plan history
• Personalise meal suggestions using dietary preferences, goals, and conditions you choose to share (for planning only — not medical advice)
• Manage your subscription, billing status, and access tier
• Send meal reminders and streak notifications (only with your permission)
• Improve the accuracy and quality of meal plans generated for you in RytDait
• Comply with legal obligations

3. Data Storage & Security

• Your account and profile data is stored in MongoDB (cloud-hosted, encrypted at rest)
• Authentication is handled by Firebase Authentication (Google LLC); session tokens are stored securely on your device
• All data in transit is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS
• Health and profile data is never sold or shared with advertisers
• Access to your data is restricted to authorised backend services only

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process your data. Any third party that receives user data from us is required to protect it with protections that are the same as or equal to those described in this Privacy Policy and required by applicable App Store guidelines.

• Firebase Authentication (Google LLC) — manages user login; subject to Google's Privacy Policy
• Local device notifications — meal reminders and streak alerts are scheduled on your device (not remote push / FCM); they require your notification permission
• Apple In-App Purchase — processes subscription payments on iOS; Apple receives purchase data as required for billing verification
• Google Play Billing — processes subscription payments on Android; Google receives purchase data as required for billing verification
• AI / LLM providers (OpenAI and Anthropic) — see Section 4A below

4A. Third-Party AI for Meal Planning

To create your unique meal plan in RytDait, our servers send limited diet-profile details to AI processing partners OpenAI and Anthropic. The mobile app never contacts these providers directly. They help generate plan content for RytDait; you do not chat with them in the app.

What we send to AI providers (only after you tap Agree in the app):

• Age and gender
• Height, weight, and target weight
• Activity level and fitness goals
• Health conditions and allergens
• Diet type and cuisine preference
• Derived calorie and macro targets calculated on our servers from that profile

We do not send your name, email address, phone number, or account identifiers to OpenAI or Anthropic.

Permission: Before any such sharing, the app shows a disclosure that lists what data is sent and who receives it, and asks for your explicit permission. If you do not agree, we will not send this data to AI providers and we cannot create or refresh an AI-generated meal plan for you. You can agree later from the Meal Plan screen.

This data is used only to generate and improve meal plans inside RytDait. It is not used for advertising or sold to third parties.

6. Data Retention

• Active accounts: data is retained for as long as your account exists and you remain active
• Inactive accounts: if you do not use the App for 90 consecutive days, we automatically delete your account and associated personal data
• Deleted accounts: all personal data is permanently removed within 30 days of deletion (immediate for in-app delete; next scheduled purge for inactivity)
• Cached meal plans on your device expire automatically after 30 days
• Subscription transaction records may be retained for up to 7 years to comply with Indian tax and accounting regulations

7. Single-Device Policy

For security, RytDait allows only one active session per account. Signing in on a new device automatically terminates the previous session. No additional personal data is collected for this purpose beyond the device identifier.

8. Children's Privacy

RytDait is not intended for users under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at admin@rytdait.com and we will delete it promptly.

9. International Users

RytDait is operated from India. If you access the App from outside India, your data may be transferred to and processed in India. By using the App, you consent to this transfer in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material changes will be communicated via in-app notification. Your continued use of the App following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
