Cal.AI — AI calorie & food tracker
This page explains how to request deletion of your Cal.AI account and the personal data associated with it. Cal.AI accounts are created by signing in with Google or Apple. Cal.AI is published on Google Play by yuepengjie and on the App Store by BYTEMEDIA PTE. LTD.
Deletion takes effect immediately and signs you out on all devices.
Deleting your Cal.AI account does not cancel a Cal.AI subscription. Cancel it first in Google Play (play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions) or in your App Store account settings (Settings › your name › Subscriptions); otherwise it keeps renewing.
Delete my Cal.AI account.If you signed in with Apple and chose Hide My Email, we only hold a private relay address. The simplest way to delete is to reinstall the app, sign in with the same Apple ID and use Me › Account › Delete Account. Otherwise email us from any address, say that you used Hide My Email and roughly when you created the account, and we will work out with you how to confirm the account is yours.
We verify that the request comes from the account owner, then permanently delete the account. Requests are processed within 30 days. We will email you to confirm once the deletion is complete.
When your request is completed, the following are permanently removed from our servers:
| Data | Retention | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase and subscription records (purchase token / transaction ID, product, dates) | For the life of the subscription and afterwards as long as required for tax, accounting and fraud-prevention purposes | Legal, financial and fraud-prevention obligations. Kept dissociated from your profile where possible. |
| Count of free AI scans used | Kept in an anonymised account record | Prevents abuse of the free allowance; no longer linked to your email, name or sign-in identity. |
| Device record (app-generated device identifier, app version, language, time zone, push token) | Unlinked from your account and kept; deleted on request to kirbyyue@gmail.com | Still used to serve the app on that device; no longer linked to your account. |
| Server logs (IP address, request path and time) | Up to 90 days, then deleted automatically | Security and troubleshooting. |
| Usage analytics and crash reports (Google Firebase) | Analytics up to 14 months, crash reports 90 days, per Firebase retention settings | Not linked to your email or name. |
Your food diary, meal photos, app preferences, and, on iPhone, the active energy and steps read from Apple Health are stored only on your device, not on our servers, and are removed when you uninstall Cal.AI. Your current weight and weight history (including, on iPhone, weigh-ins imported from Apple Health) are also saved to your Cal.AI account while you are signed in and are deleted from our servers when your account is deleted. Food photos sent for analysis are not stored on our servers.
