Now or Never – Privacy Policy

Last updated 9 November 2026. العربية

Now or Never is a nutrition diary. This page explains what the app collects, why, who it is shared with, and how to delete it.

What we collect

• Account: your name and email address. If you sign in with Google, Google tells us your name, email address and account id; we never see your Google password. If you use a password, only a hash of it is stored.
• Plan inputs: sex, date of birth, height, weight, target weight, pace, activity level, diet, allergies and where you heard about the app, used to calculate your daily calorie and nutrient targets.
• Diary: the meals you log (name, time, calories, protein, fat, carbohydrate, sugar, fibre, notes, which meal of the day), your weigh-ins, and meal photos you choose to take or upload.
• Voice notes: when you describe a meal by voice, your phone's speech recognition service turns it into text. We receive and keep only that text; we do not record or store your voice.
• Subscription: if you subscribe, Google Play handles the payment. We receive the purchase token, the plan and its status and renewal date from Google, never your card details.
• Searches that found nothing: the words of a food search that returned no match, or whose matches were passed over, kept without any link to your account so the missing dishes can be added.
• Free access: if you are given free access to the app, your email address is kept on that list until it is removed.
• Products you add: when a barcode is in no database and you choose Add this product, the photo of the nutrition panel (and of the front, if you take one) is sent to Anthropic to read the label. The product - its name, brand and the numbers printed on it - is then saved to a shared list so the next person who scans that packet gets it. The panel photo is kept in a private store as evidence for checking the row. If you delete your account, your label photos are deleted and the product stays on the list with no link to you.
• Feedback: if you use Send feedback in Settings, the stars you chose and the note you wrote, with the app version and language. Only we can read it; it is not posted anywhere. It is stored with your account and deleted with it.
• Reports on AI answers: if you tap Report this under a meal estimate or a recipe, the reason you chose, the note you wrote, the estimate or recipe you reported (its name and numbers, never a photo), with the app version and language. Only we can read it. It is stored with your account and deleted with it.
• Usage counts: how many AI analyses and food searches your account made each day, used only to keep the service within its limits.
• App usage and crashes: see Analytics and crash reports below.

Reminders, your language, your avatar, your step goal and display settings stay on your phone.

Steps from Health Connect (Samsung Health)

If you choose to connect it in Settings → Samsung Health, the app reads one thing from Android Health Connect: today's step count, as Health Connect totals it from the apps and devices that record your steps (for example Samsung Health, a Galaxy Watch or the phone's own counter), without counting the same steps twice. It asks for read access to steps only and never writes anything to Health Connect or Samsung Health. If you also allow it (Settings → Samsung Health → Also read your weight), it reads your most recent weight from the last 30 days. Those are the only two data types it can read: steps and weight.

• What it is used for: showing today's steps against your step goal on the Home screen, with an estimate of calories burned walking (steps × your weight in kg × 0.0005), and offering your latest weight as a weigh-in on the Weight screen. Calories burned are shown only; they do not change your calorie target.
• Where it goes: nowhere. Steps are read on your phone, kept on your phone, and are not sent to our servers, to our analytics, or to anyone else. A weight from Health Connect is only offered on the Weight screen; it is saved to your account as a weigh-in only if you tap Add, and then it is stored like any weigh-in you type.
• Not used for anything else: steps are never used for advertising, never sold, and never used to train AI models.
• Turning it off: tap Disconnect in Settings → Samsung Health, or remove the permission in the Health Connect app at any time.

Our use of information received from Health Connect follows the Health Connect Permissions policy, including its Limited Use requirements.

How it is used and who it is shared with

• Anthropic (Claude API): meal photos, meal descriptions (typed or from voice), barcode label data, and - for recipe suggestions - the ingredients you enter with your diet and allergies are sent to estimate nutrition or suggest recipes. Anthropic does not use API data to train its models.
• USDA FoodData Central: the words you search for, sent through our server.
• Open Food Facts: barcode numbers and product searches, sent from your phone.
• TheMealDB: the ingredients you enter in Fridge to Table, sent through our server.
• Google: sign-in with Google, Google Play subscriptions, and Firebase (analytics and crash reports, below).

A plain-text meal description (never a photo, and never linked to your account) may be kept so the same description gives the same numbers to the next person who types it. We do not sell data and do not show ads.

Analytics and crash reports

The app uses Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics to understand how the app is used and to fix crashes.

• Analytics: which screens are opened and a few actions: signing up or in (and whether by email or Google), logging a meal (and whether by photo, voice, barcode, search or typing), a photo upload succeeding or failing, connecting Health Connect, opening the subscription page and starting a subscription. Firebase adds the app version, device model, Android version, language and an approximate country. Events are linked to a random Firebase install id and to your account id - never to your name or email.
• Crash reports: when the app crashes, the error, the device model and Android version, and your account id.
• Never sent: what you ate, calories or nutrients, your weight or other body measurements, your steps, photos or anything you type.
• No advertising: the advertising ID is not collected and the data is not used for ads.

Where it is stored

Data is stored with Supabase (hosted on AWS) under your own account, with row-level security so only you can read your diary. Photos are kept in a private storage bucket. Everything is encrypted in transit.

So that data can be recovered after an accident, an encrypted copy of the database and photos is made every night and kept for 30 days in Google Drive. Only we hold the key to read it.

Keeping and deleting your data

Your data is kept until you delete it. In the app, Settings → Delete account removes your account, diary, weigh-ins and photos from the app immediately and permanently, and from the nightly backups within 30 days. You can also export everything first from Settings. If you cannot use the app, see how to request deletion.

Children

Now or Never is meant for adults and is not directed at children under 16.

Changes
