Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how OTTIO ("OTTIO", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our mobile applications, websites, and related services (collectively, the "Services"), including Food Loop.

By using our Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

  • Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password.
  • Profile & Preferences: Dietary preferences, health goals, calorie targets, age, gender, and cooking style selections you set within the app.

  • Log Data: Error logs, crash reports, and diagnostic information to help us improve reliability.

1.3 Third-Party Integrations

When you connect third-party services (such as Kroger for grocery shopping), we receive access tokens and limited account information needed to fulfill that integration. We do not store your third-party passwords.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and improve our Services
  • Personalize your experience and generate AI-powered recommendations

  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or fraudulent activity

3. AI & Data Processing

Our apps use AI models (including Amazon Bedrock and other cloud AI services) to generate meal plans, recipes, and personalized recommendations. Your preferences and profile data are sent to these services to generate responses. We do not sell your data to AI providers for training purposes.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

  • Service Providers: Trusted third parties that help us operate our Services (e.g., cloud hosting, payment processing, analytics). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred. We will notify you of any such change.
  • Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or governmental authority.
  • Safety: To protect the rights, property, or safety of OTTIO, our users, or the public.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you the Services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at privacy@ottio.app. Some data may be retained for legal compliance purposes for a limited period after account deletion.

6. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately at privacy@ottio.app and we will delete it.

8. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS/HTTPS), encrypted storage, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.

9. Third-Party Links & Services

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or integrate with third-party services (e.g., Kroger, Stripe). This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date at the top. Continued use of our Services after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
