Last updated: May 10, 2026

Eattonic (“Eattonic,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use our website, Android app/TWA, browser extension, recipe pages, and related services (“Services”).

Eattonic may generate a non-diagnostic Food Comfort Profile, such as “Warming Comfort,” “Gentle Digestion,” or similar profile labels.

Eattonic is designed to keep certain information on your device where possible, including:

  • Raw quiz answers
  • Detailed Food Comfort Profile calculation inputs
  • Local recipe preferences
  • Saved ingredients or recipes
  • Household preference settings
  • Recent searches or local cache

Depending on your device and browser, this information may be stored using IndexedDB, LocalStorage, browser extension storage, or similar local storage tools.

  • Provide and personalize grocery guidance

6. Rewarded Ads

Eattonic may offer rewarded ads to let users earn Qi points or unlock features. Rewarded ads are optional and will describe the reward before the ad is shown.

Ad networks may collect information under their own policies. Eattonic does not send your raw quiz answers or Food Comfort Profile to ad networks for ad targeting.

7. Affiliate Links

Some grocery links may be affiliate links. If you click or buy through them, Eattonic may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We may record that an affiliate link was clicked, including the ingredient, merchant, source page, and timestamp.

We may use analytics to understand how users interact with Eattonic. Analytics events are designed to avoid raw symptoms, disease information, or protected identity information.

Examples of analytics events include:

  • Quiz completed

Eattonic may use third-party providers for:

  • Hosting and infrastructure
  • App store distribution
  • Payment processing
  • Rewarded advertising
  • Analytics
  • Error monitoring
  • Affiliate links
  • Email delivery
  • Customer support

These providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies.

10. Browser Extension Data

The Eattonic browser extension may analyze the current grocery product page or grocery context you actively interact with. The extension is designed to provide ingredient insights, recipe ideas, and swaps.

We do not intend to collect your full browsing history. Where possible, the extension converts page context into ingredient IDs, product categories, or page types instead of storing full URLs.

11. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including providing the Services, maintaining account or Qi records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, preventing fraud, and improving the Services.

Local data may remain on your device until you delete it, clear storage, uninstall the app or extension, or use deletion controls.

12. Data Deletion Request

Since Eattonic does not require a user account, your data is identified by a unique ID (UUID) stored on your device. If you wish to have your data deleted from our servers, please contact us at support@eattonic.com with your UUID. You can find your UUID in the app settings.

Alternatively, clearing your app data/cache will remove the local association, and we periodically purge inactive anonymous data.

13. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information, including access controls, limited data collection, pseudonymous identifiers, and minimized storage of sensitive inputs.

No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

14. Health and Wellness Data

Eattonic is a lifestyle food guidance tool. We do not intend to collect medical records or provide healthcare services. However, some food preference and wellness-related information may be considered sensitive in certain jurisdictions.

We minimize this data, keep raw quiz answers local by default, and do not use Food Comfort Profiles for ad targeting.

15. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

  • Access information we hold about you
  • Request correction
  • Request deletion
  • Withdraw consent
  • Opt out of certain analytics or marketing
  • Request information about data practices

To make a request, contact us at: howie@eattonic.com

16. International Users

Eattonic may be used in different countries. We may process information in countries other than where you live. We use market and region information to localize grocery examples, currency, content, and product experience.

17. Children's Privacy

Eattonic is not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

18. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted with a new “Last updated” date.
