Privacy
Last updated November 7, 2026
The short version
- We collect what you tell the coach so it can track your food and hunger and give you useful answers.
- We never sell your data, and we don't show ads.
- Other users can't see your log. If you join a household, its members see the shared pantry and the meals you log for each other, nothing else.
- A small team runs HungerHush and can access accounts when needed to fix problems, keep the service safe, or answer you when you ask for help.
- You can export your log or delete your account, and everything in it, any time from the You tab.
What we collect
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Your Google (or Apple) account name and email | To sign you in and know whose log is whose. |
| What you send the coach: messages, meal photos, and nutrition labels | To log your meals and answer you. We keep a small thumbnail of each photo in your chat; the full photo isn't stored. |
| Your log: meals with estimated nutrition, hunger check-ins, workouts, and weight (only if you turn weight tracking on) | To show your day, your patterns, and what keeps you full. |
| Your settings: name, targets, dietary restrictions, allergies, foods you dislike, and pantry staples | So suggestions fit you and stay safe for your allergies. |
| Time zone, last active time, and a daily message count | To put entries on the right day, send morning notes at a sensible hour, and keep usage within plan limits. |
| A notification address for your device (only if you turn notifications on) | To send the notes you asked for. |
| Plan and subscription status | To know whether you're on Free or Plus. Payments are handled by Stripe; we never see or store your card number. |
| Replies you flag, with the messages around them | So we can see what went wrong and improve the coach. |
Allergies, dietary needs, weight, and eating patterns can be sensitive. We use them only to run HungerHush for you.
Who can see it
- You. Your log, chat, hunger notes, targets, and weight are tied to your account.
- Your household, if you join one. Members see each other's first names, the shared pantry list, and meals you choose to log for each other. They can't see your chat, hunger notes, targets, weight, or anything else.
- The HungerHush team. We can access account data when we need to: to fix a bug, review a reply you flagged, answer a support request, protect the service from abuse, or meet a legal obligation. We don't browse logs for any other reason.
- The services that run HungerHush, listed below, only to provide their part of the service.
Services we use
- Google Firebase for sign-in and to store your account and log.
- Netlify to host the website and run the app's server code.
- Anthropic (the maker of Claude), whose AI powers the coach. Your messages, photos, and the log context the coach needs are sent to Anthropic to generate each reply. Under Anthropic's commercial terms, this data isn't used to train its models; Anthropic may keep it for a short time for safety and abuse monitoring.
- Stripe to process Plus payments.
We don't sell or rent your information, share it with advertisers, or use it to target ads.
How long we keep it
We keep your data while your account is open. When you delete your account, we delete your log, chat, photos, settings, and sign-in from our database right away, remove you from any household, and cancel any Plus subscription. Meals you already shared with a household member stay in their log, because they're part of their record too. Our service providers may keep copies in backups or logs for a limited time before those are cleared.
Your choices
- Export: You tab → Export log (CSV).
- Correct: tell the coach ("that was yesterday, not today" or "delete the cookies") or edit your settings on the You tab.
- Delete your account: You tab → Delete account. Or email us and we'll do it for you.
- Notifications: turn them off on the You tab or in your phone's settings.
- Weight: off unless you turn it on, and hidden behind a tap even then.
Security
Data travels over encrypted connections, and database rules keep each person's log readable only by their own account. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information and will tell you if a breach affects you.
Not medical care
HungerHush is a coach, not a medical provider, and isn't covered by HIPAA. Please don't rely on it for medical decisions. If you have a condition or take appetite medication, check with your doctor or dietitian.
Age
HungerHush is for adults 18 and older. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone younger. If you believe a minor has created an account, email us and we'll delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we'll update the date above and let you know in the app before the change takes effect.
