CalFactor – Terms of Use

Effective Date: February 2025
Last Updated: February 2025

Welcome to CalFactor (“we”, “us”, “our”). These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of the CalFactor mobile application (“App”). By downloading, installing, or using CalFactor, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the App.

1. Overview

CalFactor is a nutrition and fitness tracking application that allows you to log meals, receive AI-generated nutrition estimates, and track progress. CalFactor is intended for personal use only and is not a substitute for professional medical or nutritional advice.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the EEA/UK) to use the App. If you use CalFactor on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to agree to these Terms on its behalf.

3. Your Account

You may create an account using email, Google, or Apple Sign-In.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.
You must provide accurate information and keep it updated.

4. Local Data Storage and Optional Ecosystem Sync

CalFactor stores your detailed meals, fitness logs, progress history, favorites, and other personal content primarily locally on your device.

If you use the optional CalFactor + FitFace AI ecosystem features, we may sync a limited set of account-linked profile fields and daily summary fields to our backend so the connected apps can show shared context, recommendations, and next-step guidance. This optional sync does not send your full meal history or meal photos through the ecosystem feature.

If you uninstall the App or reset your device storage, your local-only data on that device will be permanently deleted.

5. Meal Photos & AI Analysis

When you upload a meal photo, it is processed as follows:

Uploaded temporarily to create a secure URL for AI analysis.
Sent to OpenAI for nutrition estimation.
Deleted immediately after analysis is complete.

We do not permanently store or archive meal photos.

6. Fitness Data

Any fitness entries, workout logs, or progress notes are manually entered and stored on your device.

CalFactor does not currently integrate with Apple HealthKit or Google Fit.

7. Progress History & Automatic Deletion

CalFactor stores your daily progress totals (calories, macros), and uses them to generate weekly and monthly insights.

To protect your privacy, progress older than 3 months is automatically deleted from your device.

8. Free Trials and Subscription

CalFactor may offer free trials and paid subscription tiers.
Subscriptions are billed through Apple’s App Store using your Apple ID.
Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before renewal.
You can manage or cancel subscriptions via your Apple ID account settings.

9. Hashed Identifiers (Fraud Prevention)

To prevent repeated free-trial abuse, CalFactor uses:

A one-way hashed device identifier
A one-way hashed email or Apple ID

These hashes are non-reversible, not personally identifiable, and not linked to your local data. They are used solely to check free-trial eligibility.

10. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Use the App for illegal or harmful activities
Attempt to reverse engineer or exploit the App
Use automated tools to extract data or overload systems
Upload harmful, abusive, or inappropriate content

11. AI-Generated Information

The App uses artificial intelligence to estimate nutrition from text and images. You understand and agree that:

AI estimates may be inaccurate or incomplete
Results are for informational purposes only
CalFactor is not providing medical, nutritional, or dietary advice

12. Intellectual Property

CalFactor, including its design, features, and content (excluding your user-generated content), is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, distribute, or modify the App except as permitted by law.

13. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, misuse the App, or engage in fraudulent activity.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE.” We make no warranties regarding accuracy, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of CalFactor. Our total liability will not exceed the amount you paid (if any) for the App in the 12 months preceding the claim.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada, without regard to conflicts of law.

17. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last Updated” date will reflect the latest version. Continued use of the App means you accept the updated Terms.
