Privacy Policy
For the ProteinYeti app for iPhone. Effective July 1, 2026 · Last updated August 4, 2026
Important Notice — Please Read First
ProteinYeti is provided for general informational, educational, and personal self-tracking purposes only. It is a wellness and nutrition-tracking tool. It is NOT a medical device and does NOT provide medical, nutritional, dietary, healthcare, or professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.
All protein values, nutritional figures, goal targets, and calculations shown in the app are estimates only. They may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsuitable for your individual circumstances, and they are provided "as is" with no guarantee of accuracy, completeness, or results.
Always seek the advice of a qualified physician, registered dietitian, or other healthcare professional before starting, changing, or stopping any diet, exercise, supplement, or protein-intake plan — and especially if you are pregnant or nursing, are a minor, or have any medical condition, allergy, eating disorder, or dietary restriction. Never disregard professional advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read or tracked in ProteinYeti.
You use ProteinYeti entirely at your own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you assume all risk arising from your use of the app and your reliance on any information it provides, and you release Nikolai Trofimov from any resulting claim, liability, injury, illness, or damage. Nothing in this document excludes or limits any rights you have that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Privacy Policy — 1. Who We Are & Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how Nikolai Trofimov ("we", "us", or "our"), the provider of ProteinYeti (the "App"), handles information in connection with your use of the App. It applies to the App as distributed through the Apple App Store and forms part of this combined Privacy Policy & Terms of Use document.
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the App.
Privacy Policy — 2. Information We Collect
The App is designed to keep your data on your device. Specifically:
- Profile and fitness inputs you enter — such as your first name (optional), body weight, fitness goal, daily protein targets, and the foods and protein amounts you log — are stored locally on your device using Apple's on-device SwiftData storage.
- Currently, the App does not require you to create an account and does not collect an email address or password. You may enter a first name to personalize the App; providing it is optional, and you can leave it blank or change it at any time.
- We may introduce optional user accounts in the future. If we do, creating an account would involve collecting an email address and related account information. Before any such collection begins, we will update this Privacy Policy and, where required by applicable law, ask for your consent.
- The App itself does not include third-party advertising or analytics/tracking software, and we do not collect your logged health and fitness data on our own servers.
- The App is free to download and use. It has no in-app purchases or subscriptions, so we do not receive or store any payment information.
If you contact us by email, we will receive the information you choose to include in your message (such as your email address and its contents) and use it only to respond to you.
Privacy Policy — 3. How We Use Information
Because your logged data stays on your device, its primary use is to provide the App's core functionality to you: calculating protein goals, tracking daily intake, showing history and streaks, and providing motivational feedback.
Information you send us by email is used solely to provide support and respond to your requests. We do not sell your personal information and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
Privacy Policy — 4. Legal Bases for Processing (EU/UK)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, our legal bases for processing personal data under the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are:
- Performance of a contract — to provide the App to you.
- Legitimate interests — to operate, secure, and improve the App, and to respond to your support requests, in a way that does not override your fundamental rights.
- Consent — where you have given it (for example, by voluntarily entering health and fitness data into the App); you may withdraw consent at any time by deleting the data or the App.
- Legal obligation — where we must process information to comply with the law.
Privacy Policy — 5. Storage, Retention & Your Control
Your logged health and fitness data remains on your device for as long as you keep the App installed and choose to retain it. You are in control: you can edit or delete your entries within the App, and deleting the App from your device removes the locally stored data associated with it.
Any correspondence you send us by email is retained only for as long as needed to handle your request and to meet legal or record-keeping requirements, after which it is deleted.
Privacy Policy — 6. Third Parties
The only third party involved in the standard operation of the App is Apple, which distributes the App through the App Store. Your use of the App Store is subject to Apple's terms and privacy policy.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may disclose information only where required to comply with the law, enforce our Terms, or protect the rights, safety, and property of users, the public, or us.
Privacy Policy — 7. Your Regional Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal information. Because most of your data is stored only on your device and under your direct control, you can exercise many of these rights yourself within the App. For any request involving information we hold, contact us at support@proteinyeti.com.
- EEA / United Kingdom (GDPR/UK GDPR): rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing, data portability, to withdraw consent, and to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
- California (CCPA/CPRA): rights to know what personal information is collected, to access and delete it, to correct it, and to opt out of "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell or share your personal information as those terms are defined under California law, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
- Canada (PIPEDA): rights to access the personal information we hold about you, to request corrections, and to withdraw consent, subject to legal limits.
- Australia (Australian Privacy Principles): rights to access and correct your personal information and to complain about how it is handled; unresolved concerns may be raised with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
We will respond to verified requests within the timeframes required by applicable law.
Privacy Policy — 8. International Users & Data Transfers
The App is intended for use internationally, including in the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia. Because your logged data is stored locally on your device, it stays wherever your device is located. Where limited information is processed by Apple in connection with the App Store, such processing may occur in countries other than your own and is governed by Apple's terms and safeguards. By using the App you understand that any such limited processing may take place outside your country of residence.
Privacy Policy — 9. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed to children. It is intended for users aged 16 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under the minimum age required in your jurisdiction, such as 16 in parts of the EEA). If you believe a child has provided information through the App, please contact us at support@proteinyeti.com so we can address it.
Privacy Policy — 10. Security
We take reasonable measures to help protect your information, and by keeping your logged data on your device, the App relies on your device's built-in security (such as your passcode, Face ID/Touch ID, and system encryption). No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Keeping your device and its operating system up to date and protected helps safeguard your data.
Privacy Policy — 11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the App or to legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and make the current version available within the App. Your continued use of the App after an update takes effect means you accept the revised policy.
