Privacy Policy
Last updated: 15 March 2026
What We Collect
When you use RizqMeals, we collect the following information:
- Your email address (required for account creation)
- If you ask to hear when the app is in the Play Store and App Store, that email address, with no account. We send one email to confirm it and one when the app is out, and the confirm email has a link that removes it
- Your name (optional)
- Dietary preferences and restrictions you set
- Your answers to our onboarding quiz
- Meal ratings and feedback you provide
- Food logging data (meals tracked, portions, timestamps)
- Usage analytics: anonymous counts only (which pages are opened, which features are used, how long a visit lasts), never tied to your account and never carrying what you eat, log or weigh
- Campaign tags on the link you first arrived by (for example a poster's code or a partner's name), kept with your account so we can tell which channels work. Never the full link, your IP address or your device
How We Use It
We use your data to provide and improve the RizqMeals experience:
- Generate personalised meal plans based on your preferences and goals
- Track your nutrition intake and progress over time
- Improve our recipes and meal suggestions based on aggregate feedback
- Send you notifications about your meal plan, reminders, and updates (opt-in only)
AI Features
When you describe a meal or photograph a plate, we send those words or that photo to our AI provider to read the foods and amounts. Nothing is logged until you confirm it, and we keep only the foods you log.
When you speak instead of typing, your browser turns your voice into words. We never receive or store the audio, but your browser's maker may process it on their own service.
Data Storage
Your data is stored securely by our cloud database provider in the EU. All data is encrypted at rest and encrypted in transit using industry-standard TLS. We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, or destruction.
