The short version
Calorie Buddy is a food tracker. The calorie and macro numbers we show are estimates from peer-reviewed formulas applied to inputs you give us. They are not medical or dietary advice.
You must be 18 or older to use the app.
You can cancel a subscription at any time through your Apple ID settings; auto-renew terms are governed by Apple.
We can't promise the app is bug-free or always available. Our maximum liability to you is capped at what you paid us in the last 12 months.
These terms are governed by Finnish law. Disputes go through Finnish courts, except where local consumer law gives you a stronger forum.
1. Acceptance
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Calorie Buddy mobile application and related services ("the app"). The app is provided by GinnyPix, a business operating in Finland ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the app you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the app.
2. What Calorie Buddy is
Calorie Buddy is a food and nutrition tracker. You log meals (by photo scan, text description, barcode, search, or manual entry), and the app produces estimates of the calories and macros in what you logged. The app applies established, peer-reviewed nutrition formulas to inputs you give us — it does not diagnose, treat, or recommend treatment for any condition.
3. Not medical advice
The estimates and other information presented in the app are for general informational and tracking purposes only. They are not medical advice, nutritional advice from a licensed clinician, a prescription, or a treatment plan.
Talk to a doctor, registered dietitian, or other qualified healthcare professional before acting on anything you see in the app, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, recovering from disordered eating, managing a chronic condition (such as diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, or thyroid disorders), or taking medications that affect metabolism. You are responsible for the decisions you make about your own health.
If you have any health concern about something you've eaten, contact a poison control center or your local emergency number — not us.
4. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to use the app. By using the app you represent that you meet this age requirement. We don't knowingly create accounts for users under 18 and will delete any we discover.
5. Your account
You're responsible for the security of your sign-in credentials and for anything that happens under your account. Don't share your account with anyone else. If you suspect unauthorised access, contact us at hello@ginnypix.com.
You can delete your account at any time from the app's Settings → Account Actions → Delete account, or by emailing us. Deletion is permanent.
6. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
Use the app for any unlawful purpose
Try to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the source code of the app, except as allowed by mandatory law
Use bots, scrapers, or automated systems to interact with the app or its backend
Upload images that are illegal, sexually explicit, infringe someone else's rights, or are otherwise harmful
Misrepresent your identity or impersonate someone else
Interfere with the app's normal operation, including by sending excessive requests or attempting to gain unauthorised access
Resell, rent, or commercially exploit the app or any part of it without our written permission
We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these rules.
7. Subscriptions and billing
Some features require a paid subscription. Subscriptions are sold and managed through the Apple App Store under Apple's Standard EULA and Apple's subscription terms. We never receive your payment card details — Apple handles the transaction.
Specifically:
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date.
You manage and cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID account settings (Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on iOS).
Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; we don't issue partial refunds for unused time. Apple may issue refunds at its discretion under its policies.
Prices may change. We'll notify you in-app or by email before any price increase takes effect; you can cancel before the new price applies.
8. Your content
You keep ownership of the meals, photos, and other content you log in the app ("Your Content"). By using the app you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, process, transmit, and display Your Content solely to provide the service to you and to operate the app (for example, sending a meal photo to our AI provider for analysis, displaying your food log back to you, syncing meals to Apple Health when you authorise it).
If you opt in to our catalog-feedback feature, we may use anonymised signals from your edits and ratings to improve the food estimates we show to other users. You can opt out at any time from Settings → Privacy → Opt out of catalog feedback.
You're responsible for what you upload. Don't upload anything you don't have the right to.
9. Licence to use the app
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the app on devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms and the Apple App Store's standard end-user terms.
Everything in the app that we provide — the design, the logo, the source code, the user interface, the calorie estimates, the food catalog — belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by intellectual property law. This licence doesn't transfer any ownership.
10. No warranties
The app is provided "as is" and "as available". To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy of estimates, uninterrupted operation, or freedom from errors.
Calorie and macro estimates are inherently approximate. We don't warrant that they're accurate for your individual situation, suitable for any health goal, or appropriate for any medical condition. See section 3.
The Mifflin–St Jeor and other formulas we apply are widely-used research tools but they have known limitations and may not reflect your individual energy needs.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:
We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to lost profits, lost data, business interruption, or damages for personal injury or wrongful death arising out of your use of the app or your reliance on its estimates.
Our total cumulative liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to the app or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the app or its subscriptions in the twelve months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, and (b) €50.
This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory the claim is based on (contract, tort, statute, or otherwise) and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under Finnish or applicable EU law. If you are a consumer resident in the EU, your mandatory consumer rights under your local law are not affected by these Terms.
12. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of: (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your misuse of the app, (c) Your Content (including any claim that it infringes someone's rights), or (d) your violation of any applicable law. We will give you prompt notice of any such claim and let you control its defence at your expense, provided you don't settle in a way that affects our rights without our consent.
13. Termination
You can stop using the app and delete your account at any time. We can suspend or terminate your account if you breach these Terms or use the app in a way that creates legal risk for us, with reasonable notice except where waiting would cause harm.
On termination, the licence in section 9 ends and we will delete your account data per our Privacy Policy's retention schedule. The sections that by their nature should survive (your obligations under sections 6, 8, 11, 12, 15) will survive termination.
14. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be notified to you in-app or by email at least 14 days before they take effect. If you keep using the app after the new Terms take effect, you accept the changes. If you don't agree, stop using the app and delete your account.
15. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Finland, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
Informal resolution first. If you have a dispute with us, please contact us first at hello@ginnypix.com and give us 30 days to try to resolve it informally before starting a formal proceeding.
Courts. If informal resolution fails, any dispute will be brought before the competent courts of Finland. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, you may instead bring your case before the courts of the EU member state where you are resident, as required by applicable consumer-protection law.
EU Online Dispute Resolution. The European Commission provides an online dispute-resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. You can use it to submit a complaint about us.
For US residents: to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that any dispute will be resolved through individual, binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, in Helsinki, Finland, or remotely. Class actions and jury trials are waived. You may opt out of this arbitration clause by emailing hello@ginnypix.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.
