MacroSidekick Privacy Policy
MacroSidekick is operated by SmartBids.ai Corp. This policy explains what information MacroSidekick processes, why it is used, and the choices available to you.
Information you provide
- Account information: your sign-in provider identifier, verified email address, and name when provided.
- Beta access requests: the email address you submit so we can record your request and send a TestFlight invitation through Apple.
- Nutrition and profile information: date of birth, formula preference, height, weight, activity level, goals, diet preferences, calorie and macronutrient targets, and weight check-ins.
- User content: meal descriptions, meal photos, recipes, Sidekick messages, saved memories, and corrections you make.
- Voice input: recordings you intentionally submit for transcription. MacroSidekick does not retain the original recording after it is sent for transcription, but the resulting transcript may be stored with your meal or conversation.
How information is used
We use this information to authenticate your account, synchronize your data, estimate meal nutrition, personalize your plan and coaching, save your recipes and history, respond to support requests, keep the service secure, and operate and improve core app functionality.
Service providers
MacroSidekick uses service providers only to operate the app: Apple for TestFlight invitations and Apple, Google, or Microsoft for sign-in; Google Firebase for account and beta-request data storage; OpenAI for transcription and AI meal or coaching responses; and Railway for backend hosting. These providers process information under their own terms and privacy commitments. We do not sell personal information, serve targeted advertising, or use cross-app tracking.
Storage and retention
Your account and beta-request data are stored in MacroSidekick’s dedicated Firebase project; signed-in app data is also cached on your device for speed. Sidekick response state may be retained by the AI provider for a limited period to continue a conversation efficiently. We retain account data while your account is active and beta-request data while the beta is active, or as needed to provide the service, comply with law, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
Your choices and deletion
You can edit meals, weight history, recipes, memories, profile information, and nutrition targets in the app. To permanently delete your account and associated data, open You → Data & AI → Delete account and confirm. You may also email support@dictaflow.io. Signing out clears the local account cache; deleting the app does not automatically delete cloud data.
Security and age
We use encrypted network connections, provider authentication, and access controls designed to protect your information. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure. MacroSidekick is intended for adults age 18 and older and is not directed to children.
Wellness disclaimer
MacroSidekick provides estimates and general wellness support. It is not medical advice and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. Consult a qualified professional for medical or dietary care.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the service evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with a new effective date. Questions can be sent to support@dictaflow.io.
