NourAIsh stores all nutritional data, health information, and preferences locally on your device by default. Data is only transmitted to cloud services when you explicitly use optional features like NourAIsh AI or the Healthcare Provider Portal.
NourAIsh AI features are disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled by you. When NourAIsh AI is disabled, all processing happens on your device.
If you choose to enable NourAIsh AI, the following data may be sent to Google LLC (United States) via their Gemini AI service to process your requests:
This data is processed in real-time to provide nutrition information and is not stored by us. Google processes this data under their Data Processing Addendum and does not use it for training AI models. Your food logs, health tracking data, and personal information always remain on your device.
You can disable NourAIsh AI at any time in Settings > Cloud AI to stop all AI-related data transmission.
The Healthcare Provider Portal allows you to share your health data with doctors, dietitians, or other healthcare providers via a temporary web link. This feature is entirely optional and only activates when you explicitly choose to create a portal link.
When you use this feature, the following data from the last 30 days is temporarily uploaded to our secure cloud servers:
Privacy protections:
Your healthcare provider does not need to create an account or install any software to view the shared data.
When you use NourAIsh AI features or the Healthcare Provider Portal, your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States. For AI features, data is processed by Google LLC under their Data Processing Addendum. Healthcare Portal data is stored temporarily on secure cloud servers in the United States until expiration.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland and do not wish your data to be transferred outside your region, you can avoid using these optional cloud features.
NourAIsh uses the following third-party services:
These services may collect standard web request data (IP address, request time) as part of their normal operations. We do not control their data practices.
NourAIsh requests camera access solely for barcode scanning functionality. No photos or camera data are stored or transmitted. Photo library access is only used when you choose to attach photos to food entries.
NourAIsh provides basic nutrition analysis using on-device processing. This happens entirely on your device and no data is sent to external servers.
All data is stored locally on your device using Apple's secure SwiftData framework by default. We do not have access to your locally stored data. The only exceptions are the optional NourAIsh AI features (processed by Google, not stored) and the Healthcare Provider Portal (temporarily stored until expiration, then permanently deleted).
Because NourAIsh stores your data locally on your device by default, you have full control over deleting it. You do not need to submit a request to us to delete your data — you can do it yourself directly in the app at any time.
Delete specific entries in-app:
Delete all data at once: Uninstalling NourAIsh from your device permanently removes all locally stored data, including all food logs, health entries, profile information, and app preferences. This data cannot be recovered after uninstall unless you previously exported a backup file.
Data sent to NourAIsh AI (Google Gemini): This data is processed in real-time and is not retained by us or used for AI model training. Google processes it under their Data Processing Addendum. There is no stored copy to delete.
Healthcare Provider Portal data: Any data shared via the portal is automatically and permanently deleted when the portal expires (1, 6, 12, or 24 hours after creation, based on your chosen expiration). You can also revoke access manually at any time from within the app before expiration.
Questions or assistance: If you need help deleting your data or have questions about our deletion practices, contact support@nouraish.com.
