Chompion

Privacy Policy

Effective October 17, 2026 · Last updated October 21, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how The Sea Labs LLC(“The Sea Labs,” “we,” “us”) handles information when you use the Chompion mobile app. Chompion analyzes photos and descriptions of your meals, shows how each meal fits your day, and suggests what to eat next. Policy version: chompion-privacy-2026-10.

The short version. Meal photos, body information, health answers, and weight are health-related data, and we treat them that way. We ask for your explicit consent before collecting them. We use them only to run Chompion for you. We never sell them, and we never use them to train AI models unless you turn on a separate setting that is off by default. You can export or delete everything in the app.

Who we are

Chompion is operated by The Sea Labs LLC. Questions about this policy or your data: privacy@thesealabs.com.

Before you create an account

Try It

You can try Chompionbefore signing in. If you choose the sample meal, nothing is sent to us. If you use a photo of your own, we first ask your permission. With it, the photo is sent to our servers and our AI service to identify the food and create a “Better Plate” illustration. If you don’t go on to create an account, the photo and the results are deleted within 3 days. If you do, the photo becomes your first logged meal.

Setting up your plan

Your answers while setting up (such as your goal, body information, and health check) stay on your phone until you sign in. To check that Chompion is suitable for you and to calculate your starting targets, the app sends those answers to our servers, which evaluate them and keep nothing. If you stop before signing in, or Chompioncan’t support your situation, the answers are deleted from your phone. Unfinished answers are deleted after 24 hours.

Information we collect

Account

You sign in with Sign in with Apple or Google. We receive a stable account identifier and an email address (with Apple, this may be a private relay address). We do not receive your password.

Health-related information (with your consent)

  • Body information: sex used for calorie estimation, birth date, height, current and target weight, and later weigh-ins.
  • Health check: we store only minimal flags needed to keep advice safe (whether you have diabetes, whether you take medication that can cause low blood sugar, and whether you have another condition without a prescribed diet). Answers that mean Chompioncan’t support you are never stored.
  • Preferences: goal, activity level, strength training, usual meals, diet style, allergies, intolerances, foods you avoid or dislike, and your targets.
  • Meals:photos and descriptions you log, the AI’s analysis of them, your corrections and confirmations, recommendations shown, and Better Plate images created for you.

We record when you gave each consent and which version of this policy it covered.

Device and app information

  • Notifications: if you allow them, a push token for your device and your reminder settings, so we can send the reminders you choose.
  • Usage analytics (if allowed):which screens and features you use, such as logging a meal or opening a Better Plate, linked to your account. Never meal contents, photos, goals, health answers, or weight. On by default; turn off “Share usage analytics” in Settings.
  • Crash reports: technical details when the app crashes, with meal text, storage paths, identifiers, and email addresses removed on your phone before sending, and not linked to your account.

Subscription

Subscriptions are billed by Apple or Google. We store your subscription status, plan, expiry, and the store’s transaction identifiers so access works on all your devices. We never receive your payment details.

How we use information

  • To calculate your targets and keep recommendations within safety rules.
  • To analyze your meals and show how they fit your day.
  • To create Better Plate illustrations you ask for.
  • To keep your account, subscription, and data in sync across devices.
  • To prevent abuse, fix problems, and respond to support and legal requests.

Chompion offers general nutrition guidance. It is not medical advice.

AI processing

Meal photos and descriptions are analyzed, and Better Plate images are created, by Google Cloud’s Vertex AI (Gemini models), acting as our service provider. Google processes this data to provide the service to us and does not use it to train its models. AI processing may take place outside the United States; your stored data is kept in the United States.

We do not use your photos or logs to improve meal recognition unless you turn on the separate “Help improve meal recognition” setting, which is off by default. If you turn it on, copies of your meals are stored separately with your account identifier replaced by a random one (pseudonymized, not anonymous), and are removed if you turn the setting off or delete your account. They are never used to train third-party models.

How your information is shared

We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

  • Google— Google sign-in; Firebase and Google Cloud, which host your account, data, and files in the United States; and Vertex AI, as described above.
  • Apple— Sign in with Apple and App Store subscriptions.
  • Legal— when required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of our users or others.
  • PostHog— usage analytics, if you allow them, stored in the United States. No health data.
  • Sentry— crash reports, scrubbed on your phone as described above.
  • Apple and Google push services— to deliver the notifications you turn on.

Chompion includes no advertising SDKs and no advertising identifiers. See also our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy.

Data retention

  • Your account and health data: kept while your account exists, and deleted when you delete your account.
  • Meal photos and images: kept with their meal; deleting a meal deletes its photo and Better Plate images.
  • Try It photos:deleted within 3 days if you don’t create an account.
  • Data exports: deleted after 7 days.
  • Subscription ownership: after you delete your account we keep only a record that a store purchase existed and which account it belonged to was deleted, with no health or meal data, so a later restore works correctly.

Your choices and rights

  • Export: download a copy of your data, including your photos and Better Plate images, from Settings.
  • Delete: delete your account and data from Settings. Deleting your account does not cancel a store subscription; cancel it in your Apple or Google account.
  • Withdraw consent:in Settings → Health data consent. We stop collecting health data (no new meals, analyses, or weigh-ins); what you already logged stays until you delete it, and you can export or delete it anytime. You can give consent again to continue.
  • Optional settings:turn off “Share usage analytics” or “Help improve meal recognition” anytime in Settings.
  • Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your data, and to appeal our decision. Contact privacy@thesealabs.com.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access to your data is limited to your account, and only authorized staff can access systems that hold it. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your data, we will notify you as the law requires.

Age and location

Chompion is for adults 18 and over in the United States. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

Changes

We will update the “Last updated” date when this policy changes. For material changes, including any new use of health data, we will ask for your consent again in the app.
