- Dietary Data: As a platform focused on dietary insights, we collect detailed information about your food intake, including the types of foods you consume, portion sizes, nutritional content, and the timing of your meals. If you choose to log specific dietary preferences or health-related data, such as allergies, medical conditions, or special diets (e.g., vegetarian, gluten-free), we use this information to personalize our recommendations and ensure they align with your unique health goals.

You can control the collection of location data through your device settings, and you have the flexibility to enable or disable this feature at any time.
- Health Data: EnaTrack allows you to log and track specific health-related information, such as your weight, activity levels, and biometric data (e.g., blood pressure, glucose levels). This data is used to provide personalized health insights, track your progress over time, and offer recommendations that are tailored to your health goals. We treat this data with the highest level of confidentiality and use it solely to enhance your experience within the app.

By continuously analyzing your data, we can refine our algorithms, improve the accuracy of our recommendations, and introduce new features that enhance your experience. For example, we may use your dietary data to suggest healthier alternatives to your favorite foods or to provide insights into how specific foods impact your energy levels.
- Personalizing Your Experience: EnaTrack is designed to adapt to your unique needs and preferences. We use your data to customize your experience, offering personalized meal plans, reminders to log your meals, and insights into how your diet affects your overall well-being. By understanding your habits and preferences, we can make EnaTrack more relevant and valuable to you, ensuring that the insights you receive are aligned with your specific health objectives.

Additionally, we may send you notifications related to your dietary tracking, such as reminders to log your meals, alerts about significant changes in your health data, or suggestions for improving your diet. You have the option to manage your communication preferences within the app, including opting out of marketing communications while still receiving essential updates.
- Research and Development: Anonymized and aggregated data may be used for research purposes to better understand dietary trends, nutritional intake, and health outcomes. This research helps us contribute to broader public health knowledge and develop new tools and features that empower our users to make healthier choices. For example, we might analyze anonymized data to identify common dietary patterns among users with specific health conditions, which could inform the development of new recommendations or features within the app.
- Ensuring Safety and Security: Protecting your data and maintaining the security of our platform are top priorities. We use your information to monitor for suspicious activities, prevent unauthorized access, detect potential security breaches, and enforce our terms of service. Our security measures include encryption, secure access controls, regular security audits, and continuous monitoring of our systems for vulnerabilities. Additionally, we provide tools like two-factor authentication to help you protect your account and ensure that your data remains secure.
- Compliance with Legal Obligations: We may use your data to comply with legal requirements, such as responding to a court order, subpoena, or law enforcement request. We always aim to disclose only the minimum amount of information necessary to fulfill these legal obligations and will notify you of such disclosures whenever possible, unless prohibited by law.
- Improving User Experience: We analyze usage data to identify areas where our app can be improved. This includes optimizing app performance, enhancing user interface design, and streamlining features to make them more intuitive and user-friendly. For instance, we might use your feedback and usage patterns to refine the layout of our meal logging interface or to simplify the process of setting health goals within the app.
- Personalized Advertising: With your consent, we may use your data to serve personalized advertisements that are relevant to your interests. These advertisements may be based on your dietary habits, preferences, and activity within the app. You can opt-out of personalized advertising through your device settings or by updating your preferences within the app, ensuring that you maintain control over how your data is used for marketing purposes.
4. Sharing Your Information
We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how we share your information. Here's how and why we might share your data:
- Service Providers: We work with a select group of trusted third-party service providers who assist us in delivering our services. These providers perform essential tasks such as data storage, customer support, payment processing, and marketing. For example, we may use cloud storage providers to securely store your data, or payment processors to manage subscription payments. We only share the information necessary for these providers to perform their functions, and they are required to protect your data in accordance with our privacy standards. These service providers are bound by contractual obligations to ensure your data remains confidential and is used solely for the purposes specified by us.
- Legal Requirements: In certain situations, we may be required to disclose your information to comply with legal obligations, such as responding to a court order, subpoena, or law enforcement request. We always aim to disclose only the minimum amount of information necessary to comply with these legal requirements and will notify you of such disclosures whenever possible, unless prohibited by law.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of EnaTrack, your personal information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will ensure that your data remains protected during such transitions and that you are informed of any changes to your privacy rights. For example, if EnaTrack were to merge with another health technology company, your data would be transferred to the new entity under the same privacy protections outlined in this policy.
- With Your Consent: We may share your information with third parties if you provide explicit consent. For example, you might choose to participate in a research study or share your data with a healthcare provider through our platform. In these cases, we will clearly explain how your data will be used and seek your explicit permission before proceeding.
Rest assured that we do not sell your personal data to third parties. Your trust is important to us, and we are committed to using your information responsibly and transparently.
5. Your Data Rights
We believe in empowering you with control over your personal data. Here are the rights you have regarding your information:
- Access and Correction: You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to request corrections if it is inaccurate or incomplete. You can update your information directly within the app, or contact us for assistance if needed. We encourage you to keep your information up to date to ensure that you receive the best possible service. For instance, if your dietary preferences change, updating this information in your profile will help us provide more accurate recommendations.
- Data Portability: If you wish to transfer your data to another service provider, you can request a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. We will provide this data to you or directly to the new provider, depending on your preference. This right ensures that you have control over your data and can choose the services that best meet your needs.
- Deletion: You have the right to request the deletion of your account and all associated personal information. Once your request is processed, your data will be permanently removed from our systems, except for any information that we are required to retain for legal or regulatory purposes. Please note that deleting your account will also remove your access to all the insights and data you have logged in EnaTrack, so we recommend downloading your data first if you wish to keep a record.
- Opt-Out: You can opt out of receiving marketing communications from us at any time by updating your preferences within the app or by following the unsubscribe instructions in our emails. Even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send you essential updates related to your account or our services. Additionally, you can opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting your device settings or updating your preferences within the app.
- Restrict Processing: In certain circumstances, you have the right to restrict the processing of your data. For example, if you contest the accuracy of your data or object to its processing, you can request that we limit its use while we address your concerns. This right provides you with additional control over how your data is used, particularly if you have concerns about the way it is being processed.
- Withdraw Consent: If you have provided consent for specific data processing activities, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. For example, if you previously consented to share your location data with EnaTrack, you can withdraw that consent through your device settings or by contacting us.
6. Data Security
At EnaTrack, we take your data security seriously and implement a variety of measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security practices include:
- Encryption: We use advanced encryption techniques to protect sensitive data both in transit and at rest. This means that your data is encrypted when it is sent over the internet and when it is stored on our servers, ensuring that it cannot be accessed by unauthorized parties.
- Access Controls: We enforce strict access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel can access your data. Our access controls are based on the principle of least privilege, meaning that employees and service providers only have access to the data they need to perform their job functions.
- Regular Audits: We conduct regular security audits to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in our systems. These audits are performed by both internal and external experts to ensure that our security practices meet the highest industry standards.
- Two-Factor Authentication: We offer two-factor authentication (2FA) as an additional layer of security for your account. 2FA requires you to provide two forms of identification—such as a password and a verification code sent to your phone—before accessing your account, making it more difficult for unauthorized users to gain access.
- Continuous Monitoring: Our systems are continuously monitored to detect and respond to potential security threats in real-time. This proactive approach allows us to identify and mitigate risks before they can impact your data.
While we implement these robust security measures, it’s important to remember that no system can be completely secure. We encourage you to take steps to protect your account, such as using a strong, unique password and enabling two-factor authentication. If you suspect any unauthorized activity on your account, please contact us immediately so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make significant changes, we will notify you through the app or via email, and the updated policy will be posted with the revised "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
If the changes affect your rights or how your data is used, we will provide a more prominent notice (e.g., a pop-up notification within the app or a banner on our website) to ensure you are aware of the changes. Your continued use of EnaTrack after the changes have been made will signify your acceptance of the updated policy. However, if you do not agree with the changes, you have the option to discontinue using our services and request the deletion of your account and data.
