Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 21, 2026
ProteinSnap is a nutrition and fitness tracking app made by LumexForge. We built it to help you log meals, track macros, monitor progress, and get thoughtful AI coaching — and we know that means trusting us with personal health data.
This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and the rights you have over your information.

Body metrics you provide: Body Stats (height, weight, age, sex, body fat %), goals (cut, maintain, bulk), activity level, body measurements (chest, waist, hips, arms, thighs), weight log history, water intake log, and progress photos (if you upload them).
Meal and food data: Photos of meals you snap with the camera (used for AI analysis only), manually logged food entries, macro and calorie data, and meal history.
