Replete
Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 20, 2026
Replete ("Replete", "we", "us") is a nutrition companion app operated by Replete. We built Replete to be privacy-first: you don't need an account to use it, and your meal and nutrition data stays on your device. This policy explains what limited information the app touches and why.
The short version. No sign-up, no profile in the cloud. Your meals, photos, weight log and nutrition profile live on your phone. The only data that leaves your device is what's needed to read a meal you scan, to process a subscription, or feedback you choose to send us, and we never sell your data.
Information stored on your device
The following stays local to your phone and is not uploaded to us:
- Your nutrition profile: your name, goals, and the body metrics you enter during onboarding (gender, age, height, weight, activity level), used to personalize your targets.
- Your meals: the photos you capture, the detected ingredients, and the estimated nutrients for each meal.
- Your weight log: the weights you record and any goal weight you set.
- Your settings: the nutrients you follow, any custom targets you set, your daily goal, supplements, and reminders.
- App preferences: settings and progress.
Uninstalling the app removes this local data from your device.
Information that is processed externally
Camera & meal photos
Replete uses your camera so you can scan your plate or a barcode. When you scan a plate, that photo is sent to our processing service and on to an AI vision provider (currently Google and Anthropic) to identify the foods in it and estimate their nutrients. The photo is sent with no name, email or account attached, we do not keep it after the scan is answered, and we do not use your photos for advertising or to build a profile of you. The copy saved to your meal history stays on your device.
Microphone & voice entry
If you use voice to log a meal, the app asks for microphone and speech recognition permission and turns what you say into text using your device's own speech recognition, which on some devices means the audio is processed by Apple or Google under their policies. Replete receives the text, not a recording, and does not store the audio. Voice entry is entirely optional, and typing does the same job.
Nutrition lookups
To estimate the nutrients in a meal, the app queries our processing service, which uses AI models and the public Open Food Facts database for barcodes. These requests contain the food or barcode being looked up, not your identity.
Subscriptions & purchases
Replete is free to use, with 2 photo scans a day at no cost and an optional subscription that removes that cap (unlimited photo scans). Barcode, voice and typed entry are unlimited for everyone. Payments are handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We never see or store your payment card details. We use RevenueCat to manage subscription status. RevenueCat assigns an anonymous app user ID to your device to tell whether your subscription is active; this ID is not linked to your name or email.
Feedback you send us
If you choose to send feedback from within the app, we store your message and a small amount of context to help us understand and reply to it. This is stored in Google Firebase (Cloud Firestore) and may include:
- your message and sentiment, and the answers to the short feedback prompts;
- basic technical context: app version, platform, OS version, device name, screen size, days since install, and whether you have an active subscription;
- the anonymous app user ID described above, which lets us send a private reply back to your device.
Sending feedback is entirely optional.
Notifications
With your permission, Replete can send you reminders (a supplement reminder and a daily recap) via your device's notification system. These are scheduled on your device, not pushed from a server. You can turn them off at any time in the app or in your device settings.
What we don't do
- We don't require an account, name, or email to use the app.
- We don't sell or rent your personal data to anyone.
- We don't use your meal photos or nutrition data for advertising.
Third-party services
The services above operate under their own privacy policies:
- Apple (App Store, on-device speech recognition)
- Google (Play, Firebase, and the Gemini models used for food recognition)
- Anthropic (the Claude models used for food recognition)
- RevenueCat
- Open Food Facts
- Cloudflare (hosts our processing service)
Children
Replete is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country) and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Your choices
Because your data lives on your device, you control it directly: clear it by uninstalling the app, turn off notifications in your device settings, and manage or cancel your subscription through your App Store or Google Play account. If you've sent us feedback and would like it deleted, email us at the address below.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app evolves. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be reflected in the app or on this page.
