Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 17, 2026

Aahar AI ("Aahar AI", "we", "us") is a nutrition coaching service you use over WhatsApp. You send photos or descriptions of your meals and we reply with simple, culturally realistic suggestions to eat healthier. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices. By messaging the Aahar AI WhatsApp number you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

WhatsApp identity. Your WhatsApp phone number and profile name, provided to us by WhatsApp/Meta when you message us. We use your number to identify your account and send replies.

Messages and meal content. The text, food photos, and choices you send us, and the responses we generate (plate scores, tips, weekly summaries, feedback).

Profile & preferences. Optional details you choose to share during onboarding — such as dietary preferences, health goals, and weight/height — used to personalise guidance.

Operational data. Basic technical records (message IDs, timestamps, rate-limit and safety flags) needed to run the service reliably and prevent abuse.

How we use your information

To understand your meals and reply with personalised nutrition guidance; to remember your preferences and track patterns over time; to send optional weekly summaries (which you can stop at any time); to keep the service secure and prevent abuse; and to comply with legal obligations.

How your information is shared

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers who help us operate Aahar AI, under confidentiality obligations:

• Meta / WhatsApp — to deliver and receive your messages.
• AI model providers (e.g. OpenAI) — your meal photo/text is sent to generate a response.
• Hosting & database providers (e.g. Vercel, Neon) — to run the service and store your account data.

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users or the service.

Data retention

We keep your account and meal history for as long as your account is active so we can show patterns and personalise guidance. You can request deletion at any time (see below), after which we remove your data except where we are legally required to retain it.

Your choices and rights

• Stop summaries — reply STOP on WhatsApp to pause weekly summaries.
• Access / export — request a copy of your data.
• Deletion — request that we delete your account and meal history.

To exercise any of these rights, message us on WhatsApp or email asraygopa@gmail.com.

Children

Aahar AI is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Medical disclaimer

Aahar AI provides general food and wellness guidance only. It is not medical advice and is not a substitute for a doctor, dietitian, or treatment plan. Always consult a qualified professional for medical decisions.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
