Food Compare Privacy Policy
Last updated November 3, 2026
Who we are
Food Compare is made by ajnapps ("we," "our" or "us"). Food Compare compares foods side by side and ranks them by nutrients. You can use it without an account. An account lets you keep a list of favorite foods. This policy explains what Food Compare collects, how we use it, who we share it with and how long we keep it.
What we collect
- Account. If you create one, you sign in through Firebase Authentication, with your Google account or with an email address and password. Firebase stores your email address and the username you choose, and, for Google sign-in, your basic Google profile: your name, email address and a link to your profile photo. Your password goes to Firebase, never to our server.
- Favorites. Our server stores the foods you mark as favorites with the account ID that Firebase assigns. It does not store your name, username or email address.
- Food data. The app downloads the food list and food photos from our server. These requests carry no account information.
- Server logs. Our server logs each request: the IP address, the time and the address requested. When you load, add or remove a favorite, it also logs your account ID and the food.
- Crash reports and analytics. Firebase Crashlytics sends us crash reports and error details, such as device model, iOS version, app version and where in the app the problem happened. Firebase Analytics records how the app is used: which screens are opened and when you sign in, sign out, create an account, choose a username or delete your account, along with Firebase's app-instance ID and basic device information. These events never include your name, email address or favorites, and they are not linked to your account.
- On your phone only. Your profile picture is one of the app's own pictures, and it stays on your phone with your other settings.
- What Food Compare doesn't collect. It doesn't access Apple Health, your location, your contacts or your photos.
How we use it
- To compare and rank foods, and, if you have an account, to keep your favorites.
- To find and fix problems, through crash reports, and to see how the app is used, through analytics.
- We do not sell or rent your personal data, and we do not collect personal information for advertising. Food Compare contains no advertising or ad-tracking SDKs, and it doesn't ask to track you.
Who we share it with
- Google Firebase provides sign-in (Firebase Authentication, with Google Sign-In), crash reporting (Crashlytics) and analytics (Firebase Analytics). Firebase privacy and security
- Amazon Web Services hosts our server and databases, in the United States. The app connects to the server over encrypted HTTPS. AWS privacy notice
- Apple distributes the app. Apple's privacy policy
How long we keep it and how to delete it
- We keep your favorites until you remove them or your account is deleted.
- You can remove favorites and delete your account in the app's Profile tab. In version 2.6.1, deleting your account doesn't remove your favorites from our server. The next update removes them first.
- To have your account and favorites deleted, email ajnappscontact@gmail.com and we will delete them.
Children
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
