Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 9, 2026

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Vladimir Pogozhev (MindFlash Studio) (“we”, “our”, “us”) handles information in connection with the DiaBalance mobile application (“the App”). Most meal, product, recipe and hydration data stays on your device unless you explicitly share it. Some limited account, purchase, credit and AI-feature data may be processed to provide paid features and AI-generated content.

What data we collect

On-device data: meals, products, recipes, hydration — stored locally.
Camera access: only for barcode scanning; images aren’t collected or stored.
Approximate location / locale (optional): to improve product relevance; no precise location stored.
Crash/analytics (optional): anonymized diagnostics to improve stability (can be disabled).
Advertising identifiers: if ads are shown, the app may access your device’s advertising ID for frequency capping, fraud prevention and measurement.
Purchase and AI Credit data: product ID, transaction ID, credit balance, and credit usage history may be stored to provide purchased credits, prevent duplicate credit grants, and maintain access to purchased features.
AI feature inputs: when you choose to generate AI-powered meal plans or recipe instructions, the information you enter for that request may be processed to generate the result.

How we use data

Provide app features (scan, search, meal calculation, history).
Personalize results by country/retailer.
Show and measure advertising where applicable.
Improve performance and reliability (anonymized diagnostics).
Provide AI-powered meal plans and recipe instructions when you request them.
Process purchases, grant AI Credits, maintain credit balances, and prevent duplicate credit grants.

In-App Purchases and AI Credits

DiaBalance offers optional consumable in-app purchases called AI Credits. AI Credits can be used to generate AI-powered meal plans and recipe instructions inside the App.

Payments and billing are processed by Apple App Store or Google Play. DiaBalance does not collect or store your full payment card details.

The App may store purchase-related information such as product ID, transaction ID, credit balance, and credit usage history in order to provide purchased credits, prevent duplicate credit grants, and maintain access to purchased features.

Purchased AI Credits do not expire. AI Credits included with a subscription may reset monthly according to the subscription plan.

Consent & choices (GDPR/EEA)

For users in the EEA/UK, we use Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request consent for personalized/non-personalized ads and analytics. You can review or change your choice at any time in the app’s Settings → Privacy.

Third-party services

Google AdMob (ads & measurement)
Firebase Analytics / Crashlytics (diagnostics)
Apple App Store / Google Play (payments, billing and purchase validation)
AI service providers, when you request AI-generated meal plans or recipe instructions

These providers process data under their own policies and receive only the minimum necessary information.

Data sharing

We do not sell your personal data. On-device data is not shared unless you export or back it up yourself.

Data retention

Meal, product, recipe and hydration data remains on your device until you delete it or uninstall the app. Exported backups follow the retention of the destination you choose. Purchase and AI Credit records may be retained for as long as needed to maintain your credit balance, restore purchases, prevent duplicate grants, resolve billing issues, and comply with applicable requirements.

Children’s privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13. If a child provided data, contact us to delete it.

Your rights

You may have rights to access, correct, or delete your data. Because data is local, most actions are available in-app (edit/delete entries, clear local storage). Contact us for assistance.

Security

We apply industry best practices; however, no method is 100% secure. Keep your device updated and protected.

Changes

We may update this Policy. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, shown in-app.
