MacroWeek consumer health data policy
This policy is written for the Washington My Health My Data Act and applies to everyone who uses MacroWeek, wherever they live. Our full privacy policy covers everything else MacroWeek collects.
Who we are: MacroWeek is developed by Luis Angel Ramirez, an individual developer in the United States. Contact: support@getmacroweek.com.
The health data we collect
- Body details: birthdate, the sex used in the energy formula, height, the weight you use for your targets, body-fat estimate, activity level, goal, diet style, allergens, foods you dislike, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and your answers to the eating-disorder screening question.
- Targets: the calorie and macro targets you accept, and their history.
- Weekly check-in: day marks (fully logged, travelling, unwell), weekly check-in results and the reminder setting. These stay on your phone only.
- What you eat: the meals you plan and confirm, the foods you log and their nutrition.
- Meal photos and descriptions: a photo of a meal, or what you type or say about it, read to suggest foods. They are not kept; only the foods and amounts you confirm are.
- Apple Health: if you allow it, the weight readings you let MacroWeek read (kept on your phone) and the meal entries MacroWeek writes.
- Plan calculations: the inputs and results of a weekly plan calculation, kept up to 30 days.
We do not collect your location, and we never infer health data from where you are. We collect no genetic, biometric or clinical-record data.
Where it comes from
From you, as you answer questions, log meals and plan your week; from Apple Health, only what you allow; and from the calculations MacroWeek makes from them.
Why we collect it and how we use it
Only to provide what you ask for: to suggest editable targets, plan meals you can eat, keep your diary, keep safety limits in place, and, for the AI features you allow, suggest foods from a photo or description. We never use it for advertising and never put it in app usage events, logs or crash reports. We collect it with your consent, given when you answer each question, allow Apple Health or allow an AI feature, and otherwise only as needed to provide the features you use.
Who receives it
We never sell your health data and never share it for advertising. We share it with no affiliates: MacroWeek has none. These companies process it for us, only to run MacroWeek:
- Supabase stores it (United States); daily backups are kept 7 days.
- Fly.io runs the MacroWeek service that handles it (United States).
- Apple stores what MacroWeek writes to Apple Health, on your phone and, if you use iCloud for Health, in your Apple account.
- Anthropic, only for the AI features you allow: a meal photo, the unread parts of a meal description, or the facts planning help works from. Anthropic never receives your name, account id, weight or Health data. Under its commercial terms it does not use what it receives to train its models and keeps it no longer than 30 days, unless the law or its usage policy requires longer. We have asked it for zero data retention.
You can ask us for this list with each company's contact details by writing to support@getmacroweek.com.
How long we keep it
- Body details, targets, and what you eat
- Until you delete your account, then erased at once. Database backups clear within 7 days; logs within 7 days.
- Weekly check-in marks, results and reminder setting
- On your phone only. Erased when you delete your account or the app's data.
- Meal photos and descriptions
- Never stored by MacroWeek. Your phone holds a photo only until the suggestion arrives, you turn the feature off, or the next launch; our service holds photos and words in memory only while reading them.
- Apple Health
- MacroWeek's meal entries are removed when you unconfirm a meal and when you delete your account. Weight readings read from Health stay on your phone until you delete them or your account; Health keeps its own copy.
- Plan calculations
- Up to 30 days, then deleted automatically; at once when you delete your account.
Your rights
You can confirm whether we hold your health data and get a copy of it, correct it, delete it, withdraw your consent, and appeal a decision:
- Delete your account in the app (Account and settings, then Account, then Delete account), or write to us. We delete your data from our systems at once; database backups and logs clear within 7 days. If your phone loses its connection after the deletion has started, our servers finish erasing your account within ten minutes. MacroWeek removes the meal entries it wrote to Apple Health; if MacroWeek can no longer reach Health, you can remove its entries in the Health app, under Apps. Anthropic never receives your name or account id, so it cannot pick out your data; it deletes it under its terms, above.
- Withdraw your consent to an AI feature in Account and settings; it stops at once. Turn off Apple Health access in the Health app, under Apps.
- Get a copy of your data by writing to support@getmacroweek.com.
- Correct your data by editing it in the app, or write to us.
- Appeal a decision by replying to our answer. We answer in writing, with our reasons, within 45 days; if we turn down your appeal, you can complain to the Washington State Office of the Attorney General, or to your own state's attorney general.
How to exercise your rights
Deleting your account and turning off an AI feature work in the app without an account email. For a copy of your data, a correction we cannot make in the app, or an appeal, write to support@getmacroweek.com.
We answer within 45 days, or tell you within that time why we need up to 45 more. Requests are free. To protect your account, we answer only to the email address on your account, or to a request sent from it. If you use MacroWeek without an account, create one in the app first (Account, then Create an account) and write from that address. We never treat you differently for using these rights.
Age
MacroWeek is for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect health data from anyone younger.
Changes
If we start collecting a new kind of health data, share it with a new company, or keep it longer, we update this policy first and change its version and date at the top of the page.
