Terms of Service

Last updated: October 2026

These Terms of Service govern your use of Hale & Hearty, a nutrition and body-awareness app for iPhone, Apple Watch, and the accompanying widgets. Please read them. They explain what the app does, what it deliberately doesn't do, and what you're agreeing to.

By using Hale & Hearty, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the app.

Hale & Hearty Is Not a Medical Device

Hale & Hearty is a wellness and information tool. It is not a medical device, it does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, and nothing in it (recommendations, insights, the Nutrition Support Index, food–symptom patterns, elimination-test results, or the provider PDF) is medical, nutritional, or diagnostic advice.

Nutrition figures are estimates. Food recognition, portion sizes, and nutrient values are approximations drawn from AI models and public food databases, and they can be wrong. Treat them as a guide, not a measurement.

Food–symptom correlations describe patterns in what you logged. They are not evidence of cause, and an elimination test in this app is a self-experiment, not a clinical allergy or intolerance test. If you suspect a food allergy or intolerance, talk to a qualified professional. Some reactions are dangerous to test on yourself.

Always consult your physician, registered dietitian, or another qualified provider before changing your diet, starting or stopping a supplement, or acting on anything you see here, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, managing a medical condition, or taking medication. If you think you may have a medical emergency, contact your local emergency services immediately.

1. Who These Terms Are Between

These terms are an agreement between you and Stribog IT Solutions Private Limited, the developer of Hale & Hearty Food Diary ("we", "us"), whose contact details are in section 14. They are not an agreement with Apple.

Apple distributes the app and processes payments, but has no responsibility for the app or its content. If the app fails to conform to any warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price where applicable; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

Your use of the App Store is separately governed by Apple's own terms, including the standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement.

2. Who Can Use Hale & Hearty

You must be at least 16 years old to use Hale & Hearty. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you may use it only with the involvement of a parent or guardian who agrees to these terms on your behalf.

Hale & Hearty is a general wellness app for healthy adults. It is not designed for the management of eating disorders, for clinical nutrition support, or for anyone who has been advised by a professional to avoid tracking food. If tracking your intake is harmful to you, please stop using the app and speak to someone who can help.

3. Your Account & Your Data

There is no Hale & Hearty account. You don't register, and we don't hold a username or password for you. Your logs live on your device and, when you're signed into iCloud, in your own private iCloud database, which belongs to your Apple Account, not to us.

Because of that, keeping your Apple Account and device secure is what keeps your data secure. We can't recover your data for you, and we can't reset access to it.

You keep ownership of everything you log. You grant us only the permission needed to operate the app for you. That means, for example, sending the parts of an entry listed in the Privacy Policy to an AI service so it can be analysed and returned to you.

How your data is handled is set out in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

4. Subscriptions, Trials & Billing

Hale & Hearty is available by auto-renewing subscription. A free trial is offered when you first subscribe; after it ends, a subscription is needed to keep using the app.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
Subscriptions renew automatically for the same price and period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
Manage or cancel anytime in iPhone Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal; it does not refund the period you're in.
Where a free trial is offered, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
Prices are shown in the app before you buy and may vary by region. If a price changes, Apple will ask you to agree before the next renewal.

Purchases and refunds are handled by Apple, not by us. We can't process a refund directly. Refund requests go through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com and are decided under Apple's policies.

If your subscription ends, your logs are never deleted. Your data stays on your device and in your iCloud database, and it's all there again if you resubscribe.

5. AI-Generated Content

Several features are generated by third-party AI models: food recognition from your photos and descriptions, the written insights and daily reflections, the food suggestions on each screen, and Ask Hale's answers.

AI output can be inaccurate, incomplete, or occasionally confidently wrong. You are responsible for reviewing what the app suggests before you log it or act on it. The confirmation screen after a parse exists precisely so you can correct it.

Nutrition values are estimates for a typical serving, not a measurement of the food in front of you. Barcode scans of packaged products are usually closest; a photo of a home-cooked dish is the roughest.

We don't guarantee that any particular AI feature will remain available, or that it will be powered by the same provider over time.

6. Apple Health

With your permission, Hale & Hearty reads data from Apple Health to give your nutrition context, and writes back the water, menstrual flow, and meal nutrition you log here. Section 3 of the Privacy Policy lists every type in both directions.

You control this. Each type is a separate permission, the app works with whatever you allow, and you can change your mind at any time in iPhone Settings → Privacy & Security → Health. Revoking access doesn't delete what's already been written. Remove those samples in the Health app, or use Delete All Data in Hale & Hearty, which removes the samples this app wrote.

You agree not to use Health data obtained through Hale & Hearty for advertising, marketing, or resale, and not to disclose it to a third party for those purposes.

7. Acceptable Use

Please use Hale & Hearty as intended. Specifically, don't:

Use it to make medical decisions for someone else, or present its output as a clinical assessment.
Attempt to extract API credentials, bypass the request relay, or automate requests beyond ordinary personal use. The daily limits exist to keep the AI features affordable for everyone.
Reverse engineer, decompile, or modify the app, except where that right can't be excluded by law.
Upload content you have no right to use, or anything unlawful.

The provider PDF is yours to share with a clinician you choose. Once you share it, its contents are out of the app's control. It contains your name, symptom notes, supplements, and allergens, so send it thoughtfully.

8. Changes to the App

Hale & Hearty is under active development. Features may be added, changed, or removed, and the app depends on services we don't control: Apple Health, iCloud, and the AI and food-database providers. If one of those is unavailable, parts of the app may not work until it returns.

We aim to keep your logged data working across updates, but we can't promise uninterrupted or error-free service.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

Hale & Hearty is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the app will meet your requirements, that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that the nutrition figures, insights, or patterns it produces are accurate or complete.

Some jurisdictions don't allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits rights you have under mandatory consumer law.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, arising out of your use of (or inability to use) Hale & Hearty.

This includes any decision you make about your diet, supplements, or health based on what the app showed you. The app informs; the choices remain yours and your clinician's.

Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for the app in the twelve months before the claim.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

11. Ending Your Use

You can stop using Hale & Hearty at any time by deleting the app. To erase your entries as well, use Profile → Delete All Data before deleting. That clears your logs from the device and from your private iCloud database.

We may suspend or end access if these terms are seriously or repeatedly breached, for example, sustained abuse of the AI request limits. Because your data lives in your own Apple Account, that never gives us the ability to delete your logs.

12. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and the courts of India will have jurisdiction over any dispute. If you're a consumer elsewhere, this doesn't deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer law where you live, or of the right to bring a claim in your local courts.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms as the app changes. When we do, we'll revise the 'Last updated' date above, and we'll tell you in the app when a change is significant.

Continued use after a change takes effect means you accept the revised terms. If you don't accept them, please stop using the app, and use Delete All Data first if you'd like your entries erased.
