6. Apple Health Integration

Fiku offers optional integration with Apple Health (HealthKit). When you enable this feature, Fiku may read and write the following health data types: dietary energy, macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fat), and other nutrition-related data from products you scan and log.

Apple Health data is stored locally on your device by Apple and is not transmitted to Fiku's servers. We only read Health data to personalize your nutrition insights, and write data so you can track scanned product nutrition within Apple Health.

You can revoke Fiku's access to Apple Health at any time through the iOS Health app settings. Disabling access will not delete previously synced data from Apple Health.

Fiku will never use Apple Health data for advertising, marketing, or data mining purposes. Health data is never sold or shared with third parties.

7. Push Notifications

Fiku may send push notifications to your device with your permission. Notifications may include scan reminders, health insights, streak updates, and important account information.

You can manage or disable push notifications at any time through the app's notification settings or your device's system settings. We use Expo Push Notification Service to deliver notifications, and your device push token is stored securely on our servers solely for this purpose.

We do not send promotional or advertising notifications. Notifications are limited to features you have opted into.

8. Referral Program

Fiku offers a referral program that allows you to invite friends. When a referred friend creates an account and verifies their email, you earn 25 bonus scans.

Referral links contain a unique referral code associated with your account. You may share your referral link freely, but you may not use automated systems, bots, or deceptive practices to generate referrals.

Fiku reserves the right to revoke bonus scans or suspend accounts that abuse the referral program, including creating fake accounts or self-referring.
