Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Core Principles

Orbit Tech Lab ("we", "us", or "our") is dedicated to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled within the Calorie & Meal Diary mobile application ("the App") for Android.

We believe that personal nutritional, health, and fitness records belong exclusively to you. The App operates independently without requiring an active network connection, user accounts, passwords, or cloud syncing.

2. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

The App only stores information that you manually enter for personal dietary and macronutrient monitoring:

• Profile Preferences: Your self-chosen display name and measurement unit system (Metric or Imperial).
• Health & Fitness Targets: Daily calorie target (kcal), optional target body weight, and target completion dates.
• Meal Diary Records: Meal names, food portions in grams, meal categorization (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snacks), timestamps, and calculated macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fat, calories).
• Custom Recipes & Foods: Custom dish titles, user-defined nutritional values, and custom emoji identifiers.

All of the above information is stored solely within the App's private internal storage sandbox provided by the Android OS (via AsyncStorage). It is never sent across any network.

3. Data We Do NOT Collect or Share

In strict compliance with Google Play Developer Program Policies:

• No User Account System: No user registration, email address, password, or third-party sign-in (Google/Facebook/Apple) is required or collected.
• No Remote Backend Servers: Orbit Tech Lab does not operate any remote database or web server receiving telemetry or nutritional logs from the App.
• No Third-Party Analytics SDKs: We do not integrate tracking, profiling, or behavioral analytics libraries (such as Google Firebase Analytics, Facebook SDK, Adjust, or Mixpanel).
• No Advertising SDKs: The App contains zero advertising frameworks and does not read or transmit your Android Advertising ID (AAID).
• No Data Monetization or Brokerage: We never sell, rent, monetize, disclose, or transfer user information to third parties.

4. Android Permissions

Calorie & Meal Diary requires zero sensitive or dangerous runtime permissions:

• No Location access (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION)
• No Camera or Video recording (CAMERA)
• No Microphone or Audio recording (RECORD_AUDIO)
• No Contacts or Address Book access (READ_CONTACTS)
• No Storage or Media access (READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
• No Phone State or SMS permissions

5. Data Security & Local Sandboxing

Because data never leaves your device over the internet, your records are not susceptible to cloud database breaches or man-in-the-middle attacks. Security relies on the Android operating system's native application sandbox:

• Data is stored in private internal directory storage inaccessible to other apps.
• Unencrypted system backups are explicitly disabled (android:allowBackup="false").
• Users can safely use the app in airplane mode.

6. Account & Data Deletion Policy (Google Play Compliance)

In compliance with the Google Play Data Deletion Policy and global privacy statutes (including GDPR and CCPA), you maintain unconditional control over all stored data:

• Instant In-App Reset (Erase Everything): You can permanently wipe all meal records, custom foods, weight goals, and profile preferences at any time. Open the App and navigate to:
  Settings > ACCOUNT & PRIVACY > Reset All Data (Erase Everything).
  A confirmation dialog will appear. Confirming will permanently purge the local storage database and return the App to its initial launch state.
• Clear Meal History: If you only wish to delete your logged meal entries while preserving your custom recipes, navigate to:
  Settings > ACCOUNT & PRIVACY > Clear Meal History.
• Full Data Portability / Export: You can inspect and export your complete diary records in open JSON format by navigating to Settings > APP & DATA > Export Data.
• Application Uninstallation: Uninstalling the App from your Android device immediately and permanently deletes all internal sandbox data stored by the App.
• Support Deletion Requests: Because we do not store any user accounts or data on remote servers, we have no personal data to delete on our end. For assistance, you may email support@orbittechlab.com.

7. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K)

Calorie & Meal Diary is intended for a general audience (PEGI 3 / Everyone). Because the App operates entirely offline without network communications or personal identifier collection, we do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children under 13 years of age (or under 16 in the European Economic Area).

8. Health & Medical Disclaimer

Calorie & Meal Diary is an informational dietary self-monitoring tool designed solely for wellness and lifestyle management. It is NOT a medical device, nor does it provide clinical advice, medical diagnoses, or treatment regimens. Nutritional figures are standard reference estimates. Always consult a licensed medical doctor or qualified dietitian before beginning any diet or weight loss plan.
