Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 1, 2026

Your privacy is crucial to us at Kalo. This Privacy Policy outlines how Elevera Software LLC ("Elevera," "we," "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our App.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information

• Name and email address
• Age
• Body metrics (height, weight, activity level)

Health Information

• Dietary data and nutritional intake
• Health goals and preferences
• Exercise and fitness data you log in the app, and, with your permission, calories burned read from Apple Health (HealthKit) on iOS or from Health Connect on Android. See "Health Connect (Android)" below for how Health Connect data is handled.

Important: We do not permanently store meal images or voice input data. Images and voice recordings are processed temporarily for food analysis and then discarded.

Device Information

• Device type and operating system version
• Unique identifiers (User ID, Device ID, App Instance ID)
• Analytics data including app usage patterns and feature interactions
• Crash logs and performance data

Advertising & Attribution Data

• Advertising identifiers (IDFA on iOS, when you grant permission)
• Apple Search Ads attribution data
• Campaign and conversion data for measuring advertising effectiveness

Note: We only collect advertising identifiers if you grant permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. You can decline and still use all app features.

2. Health Connect (Android)

On Android, you can choose to connect Kalo to Health Connect, Android's system for sharing health and fitness data between apps. Kalo only accesses Health Connect after you grant permission, and you can turn it off at any time.

What Kalo reads

With your permission, Kalo reads only the following data types from Health Connect:

• Active calories burned
• Total calories burned
• Basal metabolic rate (resting calories burned)

Some fitness apps and wearables share only total calories. Kalo reads total and resting calories so it can estimate active calories for those devices. Kalo does not write any data to Health Connect.

How Kalo uses it

Kalo uses this data only to show the calories you burned on the Today screen and in your activity trends. If you turn on "Include exercise in budget", Kalo also adds them to your daily calorie budget. Kalo does not use Health Connect data for any other purpose.

Where it is stored

Health Connect data stays on your device. Kalo does not send it to our servers or to your Kalo account. It is not included in data exports, and it is not sent to any third party. That includes analytics, advertising, and AI service providers. Kalo keeps a temporary copy on your device only to display your activity trends. That copy is deleted when you turn off Health Connect in Kalo or remove Kalo's Health Connect permissions, and it is removed when you uninstall the app.

Sharing and advertising

Kalo does not sell, rent, share, or transfer Health Connect data. It never uses Health Connect data for advertising, marketing, or ad measurement, or to determine credit, insurance, or employment eligibility.

Limited Use

Kalo's use of information received from Health Connect adheres to the Health Connect Permissions policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

How to stop sharing and delete this data

You can turn off Health Connect at any time in the Kalo app under Profile > Health Connect. You can also remove Kalo's access in your phone's settings under Settings > Health Connect > App permissions > Kalo. When you do either, Kalo stops reading Health Connect data and deletes the copy it kept on your device. Data stored in Health Connect itself is managed by Health Connect and the apps that wrote it, not by Kalo.

Security

Health Connect data is read through Android's Health Connect permission system. Kalo's temporary copy is kept in the app's private storage on your device, which other apps cannot access.

Not medical advice

Kalo is not a medical device. Health Connect data in Kalo is not used for diagnosis, treatment, or medical decisions.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the App
• Personalize your nutritional insights and overall experience
• Manage subscriptions and user accounts
• Conduct internal analytics and research to enhance our services
• Measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns
• Diagnose technical issues and prevent crashes

4. Advertising & Analytics

App Tracking Transparency (iOS)

On iOS devices, we may request permission to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites. This data helps us measure advertising effectiveness and understand how users discover our app.

You can decline this request and still use all features of the App. You can change your preference at any time in your device's Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.

Analytics

We use analytics tools to understand how users interact with our App, including feature usage, app performance, and crash reports. This helps us improve your experience.

Advertising Measurement

We work with advertising and attribution partners to measure the performance of our marketing campaigns. These partners receive only the data necessary to measure campaign performance.

We never use data from Health Connect for advertising, analytics, or ad measurement.

5. Data Sharing

We never sell your personal data.

We share necessary data with trusted third-party service providers for:

• Authentication and account management
• Subscription and payment processing
• Analytics and crash reporting
• AI-powered food analysis
• Advertising measurement and attribution

These providers process data only as necessary to provide their services to us and are bound by their own privacy policies.

We may also share data when required by law or to protect our legal rights.

We do not share Health Connect data with any third party. See "Health Connect (Android)" above.

Sharing Consumption Data with Apple

When you make in-app purchases, we may share data about your usage and consumption of purchased content with Apple to help resolve refund requests. By making in-app purchases, you acknowledge and agree that we may share the following information with Apple:

• Account age and status
• Whether purchased content was successfully delivered
• The extent to which purchased content was consumed
• Time spent using the app
• Total purchase and refund history (in USD)
• The platform on which the purchase was made
• Whether a free trial or sample was provided before purchase

This data is shared through our payment infrastructure provider (RevenueCat) and is used solely to help Apple make informed decisions on refund requests. We share only what is necessary to process these requests, in compliance with Apple's App Store policies.

6. Data Security

We implement robust, industry-standard security measures, including:

• Encryption of data in transit and at rest
• Secure authentication through Firebase Authentication
• Regular security reviews and updates

However, please note that no method of transmission or storage can guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

• We retain your personal information as long as your account remains active
• Data can be deleted or anonymized upon your request
• Data is automatically processed upon account termination
• Analytics data may be retained in aggregated, anonymized form for research purposes

Health Connect data is not stored on our servers. Kalo keeps a temporary copy on your device only as described in "Health Connect (Android)", and deletes it when you turn off Health Connect in Kalo or remove its permissions.

Your data may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. By using the App, you consent to the transfer of your information to these locations, which may have different data protection laws than your country of residence.
