MealMosaic Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 1 2025
Welcome to MealMosaic (“we”, “our”, or “us”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This policy describes what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices you have.
By using the MealMosaic iOS app, you agree to the practices described here.
Key Definitions
- Service: the MealMosaic iOS app and website.
- Personal Data: information that can identify you, such as an email address.
- Usage Data: data collected automatically from your device or our infrastructure (e.g. IP address, device type, screen views).
- Cookies / Similar Tech: small files placed on your device to remember preferences or perform analytics on our site.
- Data Controller: MealMosaic (Aha Studio Inc.).
- User / Data Subject: anyone who uses the Service.
Information We Collect
- Email Address – for account creation, login, and important service communications.
- Food Images – the photos you upload to generate meal collages. We do not require or expect these images to contain personally identifiable information.
- Usage Data – IP address, device/OS, app version, pages or screens visited, session duration, crash logs, and other diagnostic data.
- Cookies & Similar Technologies – only on the website, to remember preferences and perform aggregate, non-identifying analytics.
How We Use Your Information

- Generate collages and provide meal-tracking features.
- Send transactional emails (e.g. password resets, feature notices).
- Respond to your questions or support requests.
- Monitor, analyze, and improve Service performance and security.
- Comply with legal obligations and prevent misuse or fraud.
- Send optional product updates or offers (you may opt out at any time).
Data Storage & Security
Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest. Primary servers are located in Japan, with secure backups in the AWS Tokyo region. Access is role-based and logged; only authorized staff can view data when it is necessary to operate or support the Service.
Data Retention
We keep Personal Data only as long as needed for the purposes described above, unless a longer retention period is required by law. You may delete your account at any time (see “Your Rights”).
International Transfers
If you access the Service from outside Japan, please note that your information may be transferred to—and processed in—countries with data-protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction. We rely on standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards for such transfers.
Third-Party Service Providers
- Plausible Analytics – privacy-friendly, cookie-free analytics (plausible.io/privacy).
- Firebase (Google LLC) – crash reporting and push notifications (policies.google.com/privacy).
- Apple In-App Payments – for subscriptions or one-time purchases (apple.com/legal/privacy).
- We require all providers to process data only as instructed by MealMosaic and to keep it confidential.
Your Rights
- Access – view the data stored in your account.
- Correction – update your email or other account details.
- Deletion – delete your account (this removes Personal Data and food images).
- Portability – export your data in a machine-readable format.
- Withdraw Consent / Object – where processing is based on consent or legitimate interest.
EU/EEA residents: you also have rights under the GDPR. California residents: you have rights under the CCPA/CPRA; MealMosaic does not “sell” personal data.

Cookies & “Do Not Track”
The MealMosaic website uses only essential or analytics cookies. We honor browser “Do Not Track” signals by disabling non-essential cookies when such a signal is detected.
Children’s Privacy
MealMosaic is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided data, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced in-app or via email. The “Last Updated” date at the top will always show the current version.
