Privacy Policy & Terms of Use

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.
• Purchases and subscriptions are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment card details. Apple may share limited, aggregated or anonymized transaction and subscription-status information with us so we can provide and manage your subscription. Apple's handling of that information is governed by Apple's own privacy policy.

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. Subscription-status information from Apple is used to unlock and manage premium features and to comply with our legal and tax obligations. 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 and any subscription you purchase.
• 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 and processes purchases and subscriptions 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.

Privacy Policy — 12. Contact

About This Website (proteinyeti.com)

This policy is published on proteinyeti.com, the App's marketing and support website. The website serves static pages only: it does not require an account, does not set cookies, and does not use analytics, advertising, or tracking technologies. Standard technical logs kept by our hosting provider (such as IP addresses in server access logs) are used only to operate and secure the site.

Terms of Use — 1. Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Nikolai Trofimov ("we", "us", or "our") governing your use of the ProteinYeti application (the "App"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by the Privacy Policy above. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

The App is licensed, not sold, to you.

Terms of Use — 2. License

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, and in accordance with these Terms and with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions and the Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement ("Apple's Standard EULA", available from Apple), which are incorporated here by reference. To the extent of any conflict between these Terms and Apple's Standard EULA regarding your use of the App, the terms more protective of the developer shall apply as permitted.

You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, distribute, sell, rent, or create derivative works from the App except as permitted by law or by these Terms.

Terms of Use — 3. Health Disclaimer & Assumption of Risk

You acknowledge and agree that the App is provided for informational and self-tracking purposes only and does not provide medical, nutritional, dietary, or professional advice, and is not a substitute for consultation with a qualified professional. All values and calculations are estimates and may be inaccurate.

You are solely responsible for any decisions you make about your diet, protein intake, exercise, or health. You use the App at your own risk and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you assume all risk arising from that use and release us from any claim, liability, injury, illness, or damage resulting from it or from your reliance on any information the App provides.

Terms of Use — 4. Subscriptions & App Store Billing

The App may offer an auto-renewable subscription ("Premium") that unlocks additional features. The following applies to any subscription:

• Payment is charged to your Apple App Store account at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions automatically renew for the same period at the then-current price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription, and turn off auto-renewal, in your App Store account Settings on your device at any time.
• The current subscription price, duration, and features are shown in the App before you purchase. If a price changes, Apple will handle any required consent as provided in Apple's terms.

All billing, payment, and refund processing is handled by Apple through the App Store. We do not process payments and do not directly issue refunds; refunds, if any, are managed by Apple in accordance with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions. Any unused portion of a free trial, where offered, is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

Terms of Use — 5. Apple as Distributor

The App is distributed only through the Apple App Store. These Terms are between you and us only, and not with Apple; Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the App, and Apple gives no warranty of any kind in relation to the App. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation.

We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product-liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to legal requirements, and claims under consumer-protection or privacy law, and for handling any third-party claim that the App infringes intellectual-property rights. You agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms (including the Apple Media Services Terms) and with applicable export-control and usage laws when using the App. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

Terms of Use — 6. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the App only for lawful, personal purposes and not to: (a) use it in any way that violates applicable law; (b) interfere with or disrupt the App or its security; (c) attempt to gain unauthorized access to any systems; or (d) use the App on behalf of anyone else in a way that breaches these Terms. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you enter.

Terms of Use — 7. Intellectual Property

The App, including its software, design, text, graphics, "ProteinYeti" name, the Yeti character and artwork, and all related content, is owned by Nikolai Trofimov or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited license granted above, no rights are transferred to you. You may not use our names, logos, or artwork without our prior written permission.

Terms of Use — 8. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App and all content and features are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including without limitation implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that any information, estimate, or result it provides is accurate, complete, reliable, or suitable for you.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. Where that is the case, the above exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law, and you may have additional rights that cannot be excluded.

Terms of Use — 9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will Nikolai Trofimov be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or for any personal injury, illness, health condition, or other loss or damage arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the App or your reliance on any information it provides, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the App will not exceed the greater of the amount you actually paid us (or through the App Store) for the App or subscription in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the liability, or five U.S. dollars (USD 5.00).

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law — including, for consumers in the EEA, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, rights and guarantees that the law makes non-excludable (such as liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud). Those statutory rights are not affected by these Terms.

Terms of Use — 10. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Nikolai Trofimov from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your misuse of the App, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or of the rights of any third party.

Terms of Use — 11. Termination

These Terms remain in effect while you use the App. We may suspend or terminate your license if you breach these Terms. You may end this agreement at any time by ceasing to use and deleting the App. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including the disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing-law sections — will survive.

Terms of Use — 12. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and, where applicable, by the federal laws of the United States. Subject to the paragraph below, you agree that the state and federal courts located in California will have jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App.

If you are a consumer, this choice of law and forum does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country or state of residence, and you may also be entitled to bring proceedings in your local courts where the law so provides. Nothing in this section limits any statutory consumer rights that cannot be waived.

Terms of Use — 13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. 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 the changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, stop using the App.
