This policy covers the free Food Scanner and Glasshole iOS apps published under the Scaling Human name and this website. Other projects have their own privacy information linked below.

Summary
We do not sell personal data. We do not use advertising trackers. The apps do not require an account.
Food Scanner’s default Local iPhone Vision mode runs on device. Glasshole supports Apple Intelligence on compatible devices and runs on device when that provider is selected. If you choose a third-party, local-network, or custom AI provider, the app sends the content needed for your request to that provider using the endpoint and API key you configure.
Food Scanner
Food Scanner analyzes food images and generates estimated nutrition overlays. Scan history is stored locally on your device. If you choose Save to Photos, the app saves the generated result image to your photo library.
When Local iPhone Vision is selected, food images are classified on device and quick nutrition estimates are generated on device from those labels. When a third-party, local-network, or custom provider is selected, food images are sent to that provider for analysis.
Nutrition values are AI estimates for general information only and are not medical advice.
Glasshole
Glasshole records audio only when you start a session. On-device speech recognition converts that audio into text for summarization and fact-checking. Audio recordings are not saved. Session history is stored locally on your device.
Use the app only with the consent of everyone being recorded and in compliance with local laws and regulations where you use it.
When Apple Intelligence is selected on a compatible device, processing runs on device. When a third-party, local-network, or custom provider is selected, transcripts are sent to that provider for summarization and fact-checking.
AI fact-check results can be wrong and should not be treated as authoritative.
Optional Companion Apps
Optional companion apps are distributed from GitHub. They connect to the iOS apps over your local Wi-Fi or iPhone Personal Hotspot. The Food Scanner companion can send food images to the iOS app. The Glasshole companion sends activation and stop gestures and displays results from the iOS app.
Local history and deletion
Both apps save history on your iPhone. Use the history controls to delete individual results or clear saved history. Images you save to Photos remain in your photo library until you delete them there. Deleting local history does not delete copies already sent to a provider or saved elsewhere.
Choosing an AI provider
PocketPal mode uses the local endpoint configured in Settings. The default is localhost on your iPhone. Ollama and custom endpoints can be on another device on your network or on the internet. The destination you configure determines where images or transcripts are processed.
External providers apply their own privacy and retention policies. Review those policies before sending private images or conversations. Changing the provider does not remove content already sent to an external service.
API Keys
If you configure a third-party AI provider, API keys are stored in the iOS Keychain on your device.
