Short version: this app has no account, no server and no analytics. It asks for no internet permission and does not upload your information. Your data is stored locally. You control exports, and Android may back up eligible app data as described below.
This policy covers the Android application Fatty Liver Food Guide
(com.funfatstudios.fattyliverfoodguide), provided by Fun Fat Studios. It is a general
information app about food and fatty liver disease. It is not a medical device and does not provide
personal medical advice.
| What | Why | Uploaded by the app? |
|---|---|---|
| Saved foods | Your favourites list | No |
| Search history | Recent searches for convenience | No |
| Lesson progress, quiz answers, points, badges, weekly goals | The progress screen | No |
| Notes you write when flagging an entry | So you can review or export them later | No |
| Settings (theme, reduced motion, reminders) | Remembering your preferences | No |
| Photos you take or choose for scanning | Reading menu text or confirming your selected meal photo | No - temporary copies are kept in the app's private cache for the scan session |
INTERNET permission, and there is no code that transmits them.| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Camera | Only for taking photos in the Scan screen with the in-app camera. You can deny this permission and choose a photo or type a dish instead. |
| Notifications (Android 13+) | Only for the optional daily learning reminder. It is requested when you turn reminders on, and turning them off cancels the schedule. |
Broad storage or media-library permissions are not requested. The system photo and document pickers give the app access only to files you explicitly select. Menu text recognition runs on your device using bundled recognition software. This release does not automatically identify food from meal photos.
Tapping a source link opens an external website in your browser. That website and your browser have their own privacy practices; the app does not send your saved foods, photos or progress to the website.
Three actions in Settings and Help hand off to another app when you tap them, and none of them sends anything about you from this app. "Rate this app" asks Google Play to show its own review card (through the Play Store app), and opens the Play listing if Play cannot show it. "Share this app" opens your phone's share sheet with the Play Store link and a message you can edit before sending. "Suggest a food" opens your own email app with the support address filled in. Anything you send through those apps is handled by them, not by this app.
Settings → Export progress writes a single JSON file to a location you choose. It contains your saved foods, lesson progress, points and goals - not photos and not the food guide itself. Importing that file adds what is missing and never overwrites your existing progress.
Settings → Erase local data deletes your saved foods, search history, lesson progress, quiz answers, points, badges, weekly goals and notes from the app on this device. Uninstalling also removes the app's private local data. Neither action deletes copies you previously exported, originals in your photo library, or existing Android backups; manage those copies through the relevant file, photo or backup settings.
If your phone has Android backup enabled, Android may include eligible app data, such as the local user database, in your device backup or transfer it to a new device. Temporary scan photos in the app's cache are not included. That is a feature of your phone and your Google account settings, not something this app controls, and the app neither starts nor observes it. If you prefer a copy you manage yourself, use Settings → Export progress.
The app is general information about food and is not directed at children. It collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
The ratings in this app come from a fixed set of written rules applied to a curated food list, based on the public sources listed inside the app (Settings → Content and sources). The app shows the source behind each answer and distinguishes guidance taken directly from a source from its own application of it. The content is author-written and owner-approved as a set. Owner approval is not clinical sign-off or endorsement by a medical organisation. The app is not a substitute for advice from your own clinician.
If the app's data handling changes - for example if an optional cloud feature is ever added - this policy will be updated before that version is released, and the change will be described in the release notes.
