AVA Health is a nutrition app with an AI assistant. This page explains, in plain English, what data the app handles, where it goes, and how you stay in control. The short version: your data exists to power your own coaching, and for nothing else. No ads, no selling, no third-party trackers.
Your data is stored on your device and, when you're signed in, backed up to your private account in our database (hosted by Supabase) so it survives a new phone and syncs across your devices. Access is locked to your account: each user can only ever read their own data. Everything travels over encrypted connections.
When you chat with AVA, your message, recent conversation, and a summary of your logged data are sent through our server to our AI provider (Anthropic's Claude) to generate her reply. Photos you send are processed to answer you and are not stored on our servers; AVA keeps only a short text note of what a photo showed (for example, the numbers on a nutrition label) so she can refer back to it for about a week. Our AI provider does not use your data to train its models.
If you choose to connect Apple Health, the app reads your weight, steps, and active energy to power features you can see: automatic weigh-in import and activity-aware coaching. Apple Health data stays within the app, is never sold or shared, and is never used for advertising or analytics.
Food searches and barcode scans query public databases (USDA FoodData Central, Open Food Facts, and Open Beauty Facts). Those queries contain the food name or barcode, not your identity.
AVA Health is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
AVA provides general wellness and nutrition information, not medical advice. For medical concerns, talk to a qualified professional.
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we'll say so in the app. Questions, requests, or anything else: help@avahealthapp.com.
