Privacy policy
Your meals stay yours.
This policy explains what Dishiary collects, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and how you can export or delete it.

Who we are
Dishiary is a private food diary and restaurant map operated by Xavier Engineering. It helps you remember meals, restaurants, notes, grades, photos, and what you would order again.

Information we collect and why
- Account information: Sign in identifiers, name, and email from Apple are used to create and secure your account.
- Meal entries: Dish names, notes, grades, tags, dates, and would-order-again choices are stored so your diary works across sessions.
- Restaurant and place data: Restaurant names, addresses, coordinates, and visit history help build your private map.
- Photos: Food photos you capture or upload are stored so you can revisit the meal visually.
- Voice and transcription input: If you use voice logging, audio and transcription input are processed to create editable meal entries.
- Location data: With permission, location can help associate a meal with nearby restaurants. You can revoke this permission in iOS settings.
- Subscription state: App Store purchase and entitlement information is used to unlock paid features and handle support.
- Product interaction and search history: Feature usage events and in-app restaurant searches help logging, maps, export, restore, and account controls work as intended.
- Support emails: Messages you send to support are used to respond and resolve account, privacy, billing, or technical issues.
- Diagnostics and analytics: Basic app diagnostics, crash, and performance data may be used to keep the service reliable. We do not use website tracking to collect raw food data.
AI processing
Dishiary may use AI services to reduce logging friction, such as identifying a dish from a photo, interpreting a note, or suggesting a grade. AI output can be wrong, and you can edit your entries.
We avoid sending raw support message content or unrelated personal data to AI processors unless it is needed to provide the feature you requested.
Third-party processors
We use third-party service providers at a category level: Apple for sign-in, subscriptions, device distribution, and App Store billing; AWS for hosting, databases, storage, and infrastructure; AI providers where AI logging features require processing; diagnostics or crash-reporting providers when enabled; and email or support providers for support responses.
We do not sell your personal data
We do not sell your personal data. We do not operate Dishiary as a public review network, and your private meal diary is not sold to advertisers.
Dishiary does not use your data for cross-app advertising tracking.
Retention, export, and deletion
We keep account, meal, restaurant, photo, subscription, and support data while your account is active or while needed for the service, security, legal compliance, or support.
You can request an export or deletion from in-app settings where available, from the privacy choices page, or by emailing support. Deletion requests are processed within 30 days unless we must retain limited records for legal, security, or financial reasons.
Permission revocation
You can revoke Photos, Location, and Microphone permissions from iOS Settings. Some features may be less convenient after permissions are revoked, but Dishiary should continue to support manual entry where available.
