Effective: October 10, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how VitaYomi ("VitaYomi," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the VitaYomi mobile application and related services.
Information we collect
- Account information, such as your email address, authentication identifier, and sign-in provider.
- Profile and wellness information you choose to provide, such as age range, preferences, goals, weight-related entries, fitness activity, skincare journal entries, meal logs, and reminder details.
- Photos you choose to submit for meal or visible cosmetic skin analysis, together with the resulting estimates or guidance.
- Subscription status and purchase entitlement information.
- Basic technical and security information needed to operate and protect the service.
How we use information
We use information to create and secure your account, provide and personalize app features, synchronize your data, perform requested AI analysis, maintain subscriptions, respond to support requests, prevent abuse, and improve reliability. We do not sell your personal information.
AI data sharing and consent
Before VitaYomi sends personal data to an external artificial intelligence service, the app displays a consent screen and asks for your explicit permission. If you consent, VitaYomi may send Google Gemini through Firebase AI the information needed for the AI feature you choose: meal or skin photos you select for analysis, questions you enter, country, weight, height, goals, activity, sleep, meal and skin summaries, and skincare preferences. This information is collected from your entries and the photos you actively select in the app. It is used only to create the meal or skin analysis, personalized plan, or wellness-assistant answer you requested. You can decline consent and continue using features that do not require AI. You can also withdraw consent at any time in VitaYomi Settings; the app will ask again before any later AI transmission.
Face and skin data
Collection and purpose
When you choose skin analysis and accept AI data sharing, VitaYomi processes the face or skin photo you actively capture or select. It generates estimates of visible cosmetic appearance, including hydration, texture, clarity and sensitivity, together with a summary and general skincare guidance. This is not a medical diagnosis. The current skin-analysis workflow does not create face-recognition templates or use your face to identify or authenticate you. Face and skin data is used for your requested analysis and your skincare history and progress displays. We do not sell it, use it for advertising, or use it to train our own models.
Sharing and processing by Google
The selected photo and analysis instructions are sent to Google Gemini through Firebase AI over encrypted connections. Our Firebase project has active Cloud Billing and uses the Gemini Developer API under its Paid Services terms. Under those terms, Google does not use the submitted content to improve its products. Google separately retains prompts, contextual information and outputs for 55 days for abuse monitoring and policy enforcement, and may permit authorized review of flagged content. Google's default implicit in-memory caching has a 24-hour time to live. Processing may occur in countries where Google or its agents operate facilities. These provider practices are separate from VitaYomi's own photo storage. See Gemini API terms, abuse monitoring and data retention documentation.
Storage and retention by VitaYomi
A reduced 480-by-480 JPEG thumbnail is stored in the application's private storage on your device to display your skincare history and progress. This thumbnail is not uploaded to VitaYomi's servers. Device-level backups may include local app data according to your device and backup settings. The thumbnail is deleted from the device immediately when you delete that analysis, and all thumbnails are deleted when you delete your account. Derived scores, summaries, tips, language and analysis dates (not the photo) are stored for your account locally and synchronized to Google Firebase Firestore in its United States multi-region (nam5) until you delete your account. VitaYomi does not upload or store your face or skin photos on its own servers. An internal photo-review archive used during testing has been removed from the app, and no archived photos remain.
Control and deletion
You can decline or withdraw AI data-sharing consent in Settings to prevent subsequent AI transmissions. Deleting an analysis from your history removes its photo thumbnail from your device immediately. To delete your account and its associated cloud analysis data and local thumbnails on the current device, use the account-deletion option in VitaYomi Settings. Withdrawing consent does not automatically erase prior local history or Google's existing security logs. If you need assistance with deletion, contact support@vitayomi.com. VitaYomi does not create face-recognition templates; any face-verification data left on a device by an earlier test version can be removed using the face-data deletion setting.
Service providers and protection
Google provides Firebase services for authentication, cloud storage, database synchronization, security checks, and Firebase AI. Google Gemini, accessed through Firebase AI, is the external artificial intelligence recipient described above. RevenueCat processes subscription status and purchase entitlement information. Apple and Google process purchases and store account information under their own privacy policies. We require our service providers to process information only as needed to deliver their services and to protect personal data to a standard equivalent to the protections described in this policy.
Medication reminders
Medication reminder schedules are created and stored locally on your device. Notification permissions are controlled through your device settings.
Data retention
We retain account and app data while your account is active and as reasonably necessary to provide the service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect the service. Retention periods may vary by data type and applicable law.
Your choices and rights
You can update profile information, control camera, photo, and notification permissions, sign out, or delete your account from within the app. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or receive a copy of your personal information.
Account and data deletion
To delete your account, open VitaYomi Settings and select the account deletion option. After confirmation, VitaYomi removes the authentication account and associated cloud data, subject to limited records we must retain for legal or security purposes. You can request assistance at support@vitayomi.com.
Children
VitaYomi is not directed to children under 13, or the minimum age required in their country to consent to digital services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate authorization.
Security
We use authentication, access controls, encrypted network connections, and service-level security measures designed to protect information. No system can guarantee absolute security.
International processing
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international transfers.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app or legal requirements change. We will post the revised date on this page and provide additional notice when required.
