Apple Health Data
When you enable Apple Health (HealthKit) integration, Fiku may read and write nutrition-related health data including dietary energy, macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fat), and other nutrition data from products you scan and log.
Apple Health data is stored locally on your device by Apple and is never transmitted to Fiku's servers. We do not collect, store, or have access to your Apple Health data on our infrastructure.
Fiku will never use Apple Health data for advertising, marketing, data mining, or any purpose other than providing nutrition insights within the app. Health data is never sold or shared with third parties.
You can revoke Fiku's access to Apple Health at any time through the iOS Health app settings (Settings > Health > Data Access & Devices > Fiku). Revoking access will stop future data syncing but will not delete previously synced data from Apple Health.
Push Notification Data
When you enable push notifications, we store your device push token (provided by Apple Push Notification service via Expo Push Notification Service) on our servers. This token is used solely to deliver notifications you have opted into.
We may send notifications for: scan reminders, health insights, streak updates, and important account information. We do not send promotional or advertising notifications.
You can disable push notifications at any time through the app's notification settings or your device's system settings (Settings > Notifications > Fiku). Disabling notifications will stop all push messages. Your push token is deleted from our servers when you delete your account.
Referral Program Data
When you participate in our referral program, we generate and store a unique referral code associated with your account. When someone signs up using your referral link, we record the referral relationship (referrer and referred user) to credit bonus scans.
Referral data collected includes: your referral code, the number of successful referrals, and bonus scans earned. We do not share your referral activity with other users beyond confirming a successful referral.
Referral data is deleted when you delete your account. Bonus scans already credited to referred users are not affected by your account deletion.
Children's Privacy
Fiku is designed to help families make healthier food choices. However, our service is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If you're a parent and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at hello@fikuapp.com and we will delete such information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
When we make significant changes, we'll notify you through the app or by email. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
