Privacy Policy — Eat with GDM
Last updated November 8, 2026
In short
- Your glucose readings, meals, and walk logs are stored only on your phone. They are never uploaded, synced, or sent anywhere.
- There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics, and nothing is ever sold.
- Looking up carbs for a food sends your search text (e.g. "banana") to the USDA's public food database. Nothing else about you is attached to that request.
- Uninstalling the app deletes everything the app stored on your device.
Who this app is for
Eat with GDM is a food and glucose log for someone managing gestational diabetes during pregnancy. It's built by one person, not a company, and it isn't intended for use by children.
Data that stays on your device
Everything you log — glucose readings, meals, carb counts, walk/timer activity — is stored locally on your iPhone using Apple's on-device storage (SwiftData), protected by standard iOS Data Protection. None of it is uploaded to us, synced to a server, or shared with any third party. We have no way to see it, because it never leaves your device.
There is no account system. We don't know who you are, and there's nothing tying your data to an identity beyond your own phone.
Uninstalling the app removes this data. There's no backup copy on our end to delete, because we never had one.
Food/carb lookup
When you search for a food to log its carbs, the app sends your search text to the USDA's FoodData Central, a public U.S. government food database, using an API key we manage. This is just the food name you typed (e.g. "greek yogurt") — no glucose readings, meal history, or anything else about you is included. See the USDA's own privacy policy for how they handle that request.
What we don't do
- No analytics or tracking SDKs of any kind.
- No advertising, and no ad networks.
- No accounts, logins, or user profiles.
- We never sell or rent your data — we don't have any to sell.
Children's privacy
This app is about managing gestational diabetes during pregnancy and is not directed at or intended for use by children.
Changes to this policy
If what the app collects or how it's used ever changes, we'll update this page and change the "Last updated" date at the top.
