Privacy Policy

How we collect, use and protect your personal data.

1. Who We Are

Nutri Macro is operated by Limerick Family Farm, a business registered in Ireland (Registered Business Name No. 750471). Our website is nutrimacro.ie. You can contact us at support@nutrimacro.ie or via our contact page.

2. Data We Collect

We collect the following categories of data when you use Nutri Macro:

  • Account data: name, email address, and password (stored as a secure hash).
  • Health & nutrition data: age, height, weight, sex, activity level, calorie and macro goals, meal logs, water intake, sleep records, workout logs, and body measurements — entered by you, or read from Apple Health / Google Health Connect with your explicit consent (see 2.1 below).
  • Photos: images you choose to scan (fridge contents, receipts). Photos are sent to our AI service for analysis and are not stored permanently. Progress photos you take to track your body transformation are stored securely and are only visible to you.
  • Usage data: app interactions, feature usage, and error logs collected for product improvement.
  • Device data: device type, operating system, and app version.
  • Payment data: subscription status and plan. Full payment details (card numbers) are handled by Stripe or Google Play and never stored by us.

2.1 Health data from Apple Health and Google Health Connect

With your explicit, separate consent, Nutri Macro reads the following health metrics from Apple Health (iOS) or Google Health Connect (Android). On Android, data written to Health Connect by Samsung Health or another fitness app is read through Health Connect in the same way. Consent is asked for separately from account registration, and you can withdraw it at any time in the app under Profile → Privacy Settings.

  • Steps, Distance — to classify your daily activity level and adjust your calorie targets.
  • Active Calories Burned and Total Calories Burned — to calculate your real Total Daily Energy Expenditure and personalise your daily calorie budget. Total calories are used where your device reports only a total.
  • Heart Rate, Resting Heart Rate, Heart Rate Variability (HRV) — to detect workout intensity and to produce your stress and recovery score.
  • Basal Metabolic Rate — as the baseline for your energy expenditure calculation.
  • Sleep — duration, time in bed and, where your device provides them, sleep stages, for sleep coaching and recovery insights.
  • Weight — to chart your weight trend and projection.
  • Blood Pressure — displayed back to you as a wellness insight. Nutri Macro does not measure blood pressure; it only shows what a cuff or watch recorded.
  • Workout sessions — runs, walks, swims, rides and gym sessions, imported into your activity history.

History. When you first connect Apple Health or Health Connect, we read up to the last 90 days of the metrics above so that your charts and trends are not empty on day one. After that we read only recent data. We never overwrite data you entered yourself: where you have already logged a weight or a night's sleep, your own entry is kept and the imported one is skipped.

How this data is handled. It is stored on our servers in the European Union, encrypted in transit, and used only to personalise your nutrition, recovery and insights and to sync across your devices. We never sell health data, never share it with data brokers, and never use it for advertising or ad targeting. It is not used to train any AI model. Nutri Macro only reads from Apple Health and Health Connect — it never writes to them or changes your health records. You can delete it at any time by deleting your account in the app, which removes it from our servers.

Leaving your device (upload & web access). So that your dashboard, charts, activity history and recovery scores are available everywhere — not just on the phone that recorded them — this health and fitness data (including steps, distance, active and total calories, heart rate and HRV, sleep, weight, and workout/activity sessions such as runs, walks and rides with their route and pace) is uploaded from your device to our servers. It is then shown back to you when you sign in to the Nutri Macro web app at nutrimacro.ie and kept in sync across your phone, tablet and the web. The upload happens only after you grant health access and only for the metrics listed above; it is transmitted over an encrypted connection and stored encrypted in the EU. If you would rather your health data never leave your phone, do not grant health access (or withdraw it under Profile → Privacy Settings) — the app still works with the data you enter manually.

3. How We Use Your Data
