PRIVACY & SCOPE

Your kitchen. Your choice.

Heat processes a fridge photo for food identification only after you choose an image and consent to sending it. You can enter food manually instead.

Consent comes first

HOW PHOTO PROCESSING WORKS

Where the photo goes

With your consent, the selected fridge photo is sent through Heat’s server to Google Gemini for food identification. Heat then receives suggested food names and quantities for you to review.

Google Gemini and Heat’s hosting provider process data separately under their own systems, terms, and technical configurations.

Read the Google Privacy Policy (opens in a new tab).

The photo is for analysis, not a gallery

The current Healthy Eat prototype is designed not to deliberately store an uploaded fridge photo after the analysis request. Suggested foods and estimated quantities may remain available during your current session so you can review them before updating your inventory.

External providers may temporarily process or retain request information under their own terms and service configurations. This does not mean the photo is immediately deleted from every system.

Review suggestions before updating your inventory

Continue to Review

Step 1

Review the suggested foods and estimated quantities. AI results are drafts and may be incomplete or incorrect.

Step 2

Correct food names and quantities, then add any missing items manually.

Step 3

Confirm the inventory only when it looks right. Never replace your confirmed inventory before reviewing the photo suggestions.

A photo is optional

Add food manually

Enter what is in your fridge without sending a photograph for AI analysis. You can continue using Healthy Eat without scanning.

Edit before you confirm

If you use a scan, change suggested food identities and adjust quantities to match what you actually have.

Stay in control of the scan

Cancel before selecting a photo, or skip the scan feature and build your inventory yourself.

About this notice

Healthy Eat is developing Heat to help people connect their eating plans with the food they already have. In the current prototype, a fridge photo is intended to be sent for food identification only after the user chooses the image and gives consent. This notice describes that intended behaviour and the prototype’s current scope; it is not a complete legal privacy notice. Before a production launch, data handling, providers, retention periods, account features and user rights need further review and documentation.
