Your Privacy Matters. FLVR is designed with privacy at its core. Your personal recipes, weight data, and settings are stored privately in YOUR iCloud account—we never see or collect them. We only collect data you explicitly choose to share publicly (community recipes, feedback) or anonymous analytics to improve the app. We never sell your information.
Overview
FLVR ("we," "our," or "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our iOS application.
No Account Required: FLVR does not require you to create an account, provide an email address, or enter any personal identifying information. You use the app completely anonymously—all your personal data is stored privately in your iCloud account.
Information We Collect
1. Health & Fitness Data
We collect the following health and fitness information to provide core app functionality:
- Weight Data: Your weight tracking information, stored securely in your iCloud account
- Activity Level: Your activity level (sedentary, lightly active, moderately active, very active) for accurate calorie calculations
- HealthKit Data: If you grant permission, we access exercise and activity data from Apple HealthKit
Storage: All health and fitness data is stored in your personal iCloud account. We (the developers) cannot access this data. It remains private to you and syncs across your devices via iCloud.
Purpose: This data is used exclusively for app functionality—calculating your personalized nutrition needs, tracking your health progress, and providing accurate calorie recommendations.
2. User-Generated Content
We collect ONLY the content you explicitly choose to share publicly:
- Community Shared Recipes: ONLY recipes you actively choose to share with the community (your personal recipes stored in iCloud are NEVER collected or accessed by us)
- Feedback: Bug reports and feature requests you voluntarily submit
- Ratings & Reviews: Ratings and reviews you provide for community recipes
Storage: Only community-shared content (recipes you choose to share, ratings, feedback) is stored in Firebase Cloud Firestore with anonymous device identifiers. Your personal recipes remain private in your iCloud account.
Purpose: To enable community recipe sharing, improve the app based on your feedback, and provide a better user experience.
3. Device Identifiers
- Device ID: An anonymous identifier assigned to your device installation
Purpose: Used for analytics (understanding app usage patterns) and associating your community contributions (recipes, ratings) with your device.
4. Usage & Diagnostic Data
- Product Interaction: Anonymous data about how you use app features (which screens you visit, which features you use)
- Crash Data: Anonymous crash reports when the app encounters errors
- Performance Data: App performance metrics (launch time, memory usage)
Storage: Stored anonymously in Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics.
Purpose: To understand which features are most used, identify and fix bugs, and improve app performance and stability.
5. Hand Gesture Data (Cooking Mode)
When using hand-wave navigation in cooking mode, your device's camera detects hand gestures.
Storage: This data is processed entirely on your device in real-time and is never stored, transmitted, or saved anywhere.
Purpose: To enable hands-free navigation when your hands are messy during cooking.
