Delete Account & Data

Nourish is built with a privacy-first architecture. Unlike most apps, we don't maintain user accounts on our servers. Your personal data (food logs, recipes, weight, goals) is stored only on your device and optionally in your personal iCloud account.

This page explains how to completely remove all your data from Nourish and any associated services.

Understanding Your Data

Here's where your Nourish data is stored:

Step-by-Step Data Deletion

1. Open Nourish and go to the Groups tab
2. Tap on each group you're a member of
3. Scroll down and tap Leave Group
4. Confirm when prompted

Note: If you created a group, you may need to transfer ownership or delete the group entirely.

Step 2: Sign Out of Apple ID (Optional)

If you used Sign in with Apple for group features, you can revoke access:

1. Open your device Settings app
2. Tap your name at the top (Apple ID)
3. Tap Sign-In & Security
4. Tap Sign in with Apple
5. Find Nourish and tap Stop Using Apple ID

• All food logs and daily entries

• Weight and water tracking history
• Your profile and goals
• Achievement and streak data
• All locally cached data

To delete the app:

1. Find the Nourish app on your home screen
2. Long-press the app icon until a menu appears
3. Tap Remove App or Delete App
4. Confirm by tapping Delete

Step 4: Remove iCloud Data (Optional)

2. Tap your name (Apple ID) at the top
3. Tap iCloud
4. Tap Manage Account Storage
5. Find and tap Nourish
6. Tap Delete Data

What Happens to Server-Side Data?

Device Authentication Tokens

When you use Nourish, we issue an anonymous device token for API authentication. This token:

• Is not linked to your name, email, or Apple ID
• Cannot be used to identify you personally
• Automatically expires and is deleted after 90 days of inactivity

No action is required - these tokens are automatically cleaned up.

Analytics Data

We use TelemetryDeck for privacy-focused analytics. This data:

• Contains no personal information (no name, email, or user ID)
• Cannot be linked back to you
• Is aggregated usage statistics only (e.g., "feature X was used N times")

AI Food Analysis

If you used the AI food photo feature, your images were:

• Sent to Google or OpenAI for analysis
• Not stored by Nourish - only the nutrition results were returned
• Subject to Google/OpenAI's data retention policies (typically 30 days for API logs)

Data We Never Collect

For your peace of mind, here's what Nourish never collects or stores on our servers:

• Your name or email address
• Your food logs or what you eat
• Your weight, height, or body measurements
• Your health goals or dietary preferences
• Your recipes or custom foods
• Your location data
• Your photos (AI analysis is real-time, not stored)
