1. Introduction
Allergy Food Diary ("we," "our," or "the App") is an iOS application designed to help users log their dietary intake and symptom developments, automatically calculating statistical correlations to pinpoint potential triggers. We recognize the sensitive nature of personal health data and are strongly committed to user privacy.
Our foundational privacy principle is simple: Your health data belongs entirely on your device. The App processes all diary entries and association calculations locally. We operate no databases, use no remote servers, integrate no commercial analytics trackers, and never transmit your private entries off your phone.
2. Data Collection & Processing
The App's data architecture is completely self-contained. Below is a detailed breakdown of what data is processed and where it resides.
✓ Stored Safely On-Device
- Food Logs: Timestamps, meal types, common allergens (egg, milk, wheat, etc.), and custom foods.
- Symptom Logs: Timestamps, names (hives, rash, bloating), severity level (1-3), category, and doctor notes.
- Calculated Associations: Statistical parameters derived locally to highlight correlations.
- Trial Timestamp: Local install date saved in iOS
UserDefaults to track the 7-day trial period.
- Lifetime Unlock Flag: Standard locally stored StoreKit receipt indicator confirming Pro membership status.
✗ NEVER Collected or Transmitted
- Personal identity details (names, emails, credentials).
- GPS, cellular, or IP-based location data.
- Camera feeds, audio recordings, or photo library files.
- Dietary logs or health histories (never uploaded to the cloud).
- In-app behavioral analytics or advertisement profiling tags.
- Device advertising identifiers (IDFA/IDFV).
Because of this absolute local design, Apple’s App Store privacy report indicates "Data Not Collected" for Allergy Food Diary.
3. App Permissions
Allergy Food Diary does not request or require device access permissions (such as Location Services, Photo Library, Microphone, or Contacts). All entry tags and logs are typed manually or selected from on-screen options, maintaining a minimal integration footprint on your iOS device.
4. In-App Purchases
The App offers a 7-day free trial period. After this, a one-time lifetime purchase of Allergy Food Diary Pro ($2.99 USD) is required to unlock full access. All transactions are securely completed through Apple’s StoreKit framework.
- Apple acts as the merchant of record. We do not obtain, store, or process credit card numbers, billing addresses, or bank details.
- Apple shares with us only a verified, cryptographic transaction receipt token indicating purchase success. This receipt is decrypted and verified directly on your device.
5. Third-Party Libraries & SDKs
We do not bundle any third-party tracking networks, diagnostic suites (e.g., Firebase, Flurry), or social integrations. The only framework involved in data handling is iOS Core Data, which acts as a structured local database file restricted to the App's secure container sandbox.
6. Data Sovereign Rights
Since all food entries and symptom logs are kept locally on your iPhone, you maintain complete and absolute control of your data:
- Deletion: You can clear all logs instantly inside the App's settings, or uninstall the App to permanently delete all data.
- Export: You can compile your records into structured CSV or PDF files locally to back them up or share them at your own discretion.

By downloading, installing, or using Allergy Food Diary, you represent that you have read and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you disagree with any portion of these Terms, you must immediately uninstall the App and cease all usage.
2. Important Medical Disclaimer
⚠️ Not Medical Advice
Allergy Food Diary is an information-recording tool and statistical correlation utility. It is NOT a medical device, diagnostic test, or clinical treatment protocol. The app’s statistical correlation rules (e.g., "75% of Hives occurrences followed Mango consumption") indicate chronological co-occurrence, not biological causation. Never change your diet, alter medical treatments, or make self-diagnoses based on this app's calculations. Always seek the advice of a qualified allergist or physician regarding any suspected food allergies or chronic symptoms.
3. License & Limitations
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to run Allergy Food Diary on Apple-branded iOS devices that you own or control, in accordance with the App Store Terms of Service and Standard EULA.
4. Monetization & Purchases
The App operates on a 7-day free trial limit. After 7 days, a $2.99 USD lifetime in-app purchase is required to permanently unlock all diary, exporting, and correlation features. All transactions are handled by Apple. Refunds, if applicable, are governed and issued by Apple in accordance with App Store policy.
5. Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances shall the creators, developers, or affiliates of Allergy Food Diary be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, medical emergencies, dietary deficiencies, allergic shock, or data loss) arising out of your use or inability to use the App, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.
6. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction where the developer resides, without regard to conflict of law principles.
