How we handle your data on this site

We keep this simple: we collect as little as possible, we do not sell your personal information, and we tell you plainly what happens when you visit or contact us.

Who we are

The Calorie Tracker Guide ("we", "us") is an independent publication that reviews and ranks calorie tracking apps. You can reach us at privacy@calorietrackerguide.com.

What information we collect

Information you give us. If you email us — for a correction, question, or submission — we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include.
Usage data. Like most websites, our hosting and analytics may collect basic, aggregated information such as pages visited, approximate region, device type, and referring site. We use privacy-respecting analytics and do not build advertising profiles.
Cookies. We use only the cookies needed to run the site and measure aggregate traffic. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

We do not ask for or store sensitive health data. This is a publication, not a tracking app — you do not log meals here.

How we use your information

To respond to your messages and corrections.
To understand, in aggregate, which articles are useful so we can improve them.
To keep the site secure and working.

What we do not do

We do not sell or rent your personal information.
We do not share your email with the app makers we review.
We do not run targeted advertising based on your browsing.

Affiliate links and third parties

Some links to apps may be affiliate links, which can set a cookie on the destination site so the app maker knows the referral came from us. That happens on their site under their privacy policy, not ours, and it never affects our rankings — see our editorial policy. We also rely on third-party providers for hosting, fonts, and analytics, who process limited technical data on our behalf.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the limited personal data we hold about you (for example, an email you sent us). To make a request, email privacy@calorietrackerguide.com and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Data retention and security

We keep correspondence only as long as needed to handle your request and our records, and we take reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmission over the internet is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Calorie tracking is not appropriate for everyone — see our medical disclaimer.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. When we make a material change, we will update the date at the top of this page.
