On this page7 sections
01 Information you share
Glinvy uses the information you choose to add: your account details, skin profile, dietary goals, allergy list, meal entries, scan images and skin check-ins.
Health considerations, such as pregnancy or medication, are optional. Add only what you feel comfortable sharing.
02 How we use your information
Your information helps personalize food scores, check your selected allergens, suggest swaps and show patterns in your journal. It also supports account access and the features you turn on.
We never sell your personal data. Your health information is never used for advertising.
03 Photos & AI analysis
Skin selfies are analyzed on your iPhone and stay on that device. They are never uploaded to our servers.
For photo scans, food and label images are sent to our AI provider for analysis. Those images are deleted within 24 hours and are never used for advertising or model training. Third-party AI analysis is required for photo scans.
04 Apple Health
Connecting Apple Health is optional. With your permission, Glinvy reads sleep, water and cycle data, and writes dietary sugar. You choose which data types to allow.
Health data is used to understand your patterns, never for advertising or sharing. You can change access at any time in Apple Health.
05 Storage & deletion
Encrypted account backup is off by default. If you enable it, your backup is stored on our servers, not in iCloud. Skin selfies remain on your device.
When you delete your account, meals, scans and insights are removed from our servers within 30 days. Selfies stored by the app on your iPhone are removed immediately.
06 Your choices & controls
Open Profile → Privacy & data to manage backup, Apple Health access, third-party AI analysis and optional marketing notifications. Tips and offers are opt-in only.
You can export your data as CSV files and photos, or delete your account and data. Export anything you want to keep before deleting. Deleting an account does not cancel an App Store subscription.
07 Policy updates & questions
When our data practices change, we update this page. If a change affects photo analysis, we explain what changed before your next scan.
