Privacy Policy
At SpectrumSparks Ltd, we prioritise your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our adherence to this policy. This document outlines the privacy practices for all of our iOS and watchOS apps, detailing the handling of personal information collected from users.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
MenuMancer and CountMyCalories are designed with your privacy in mind. We collect minimal personal information, primarily to enhance your app experience and enable specific functionalities:
- HealthKit integration: Both MenuMancer and CountMyCalories read and write HealthKit data—including calorie consumption, activity metrics, and user health data—to create personalised meal and health plans. Permissions to access HealthKit are optional and user-granted; data is used solely to record calorie intake, calculate metrics like BMI, and track progress toward health goals.
- MenuMancer features: Collects only what is needed to provide meal planning, integrate with calendars for scheduling, generate shopping lists, and suggest recipes based on your preferences and location for in-season ingredients.
- CountMyCalories features: Logs meals, tracks calories in real time, and uses your height, weight, age, and activity data to calculate BMI and estimate a weight-loss plan over a timeframe you specify.
- Calendar & Reminders: We ask permission only to write events to your Calendar and add items to Reminders to enhance scheduling; we do not read existing entries.
- Location services: Permissions are requested only if you opt in to location-based recipe suggestions; no location data is collected otherwise.
Interaction with Third-Party Services
Our apps integrate with third-party services, such as OpenAI, to enhance functionality. These integrations comply with strict privacy standards—including encryption of data in transit—and assurances that shared data is not used for training AI models or any purpose beyond the immediate functionality within the apps.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Our mobile apps may use cookies and similar technologies to improve user experience, understand app interactions, and deliver targeted advertisements on free versions. These technologies do not collect personal information without consent. Consent can be managed via the Privacy section of the Settings app in iOS.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties, except as necessary to provide the app's functionalities. All third-party interactions are governed by protective measures, including data encryption and privacy agreements.
