Tare consumer health data privacy policy

Effective October 16, 2026.

This page covers your consumer health data, as the laws of Washington, Nevada and Connecticut define it: which health data Tare collects, where it comes from, why, who else gets it, and how to see it or delete it. Tare's privacy policy covers everything else.

The health data Tare collects

• What you eat: meal photos, what you write or say about a meal, and the nutrition estimates made from them.
• Your body: weight, waist and body fat; your height, birth year, sex and goal weight; your calorie and protein targets and how fast you want to lose weight.
• Progress pictures, only if you take them: photos of your body.
• Activity and recovery, only if you connect Apple Health or Oura: steps, active and resting energy, sleep (and Oura's sleep and readiness scores), workouts, heart rate variability and resting heart rate.
• Training: the workouts you log, with each exercise's sets, reps and weights, and your training plan.
• How you're doing: hunger, energy, mood and sleep when you rate them, and day notes (like "sick" or "traveling").
• Supplements you take.
• Your health answers: if you tell Tare you're pregnant or breastfeeding, have or have had an eating disorder, take insulin or other diabetes medicine, or have kidney disease. Tare sets your targets around them, and you can change them in Settings, Health.
• What you tell the coach: your conversations, and the memories the coach saves about you. Anything you say about your health, such as a condition, an injury, a medication or a diet, is health data too.
• What Tare works out from all of this: trends, your estimated energy use, targets, the coach's replies and the pieces written for you in Learn.

Tare doesn't collect your location: it removes it from photos before they leave your phone.

Where it comes from

• You, in the app and on the web.
• Apple Health on your iPhone, if you allow it.
• Oura, if you connect it.
• The AI model, which estimates meals and writes the coach's replies from what you've logged.
• An app you connect (like Claude), if you let it log things for you.

Why Tare collects it

To coach you toward your body goal: to estimate what you ate, follow your weight trend, and set and adjust your targets; to write the coach's replies, check-ins, the weekly review and Learn; to show you your records and trends; to show the people in your circles what you choose, and make the public links you ask for; and to keep it safe, with backups and by stopping misuse. It isn't used for ads, isn't sold, and doesn't train AI models.

How it's processed. It's stored in Tare's database and private photo storage, in the United States, with a backup copy in North America. To estimate meals and write replies, Tare sends it to an AI model. Photos reach your devices only through short-lived links made for your account.

Who else gets it

Tare has no affiliates. These companies process it for Tare, only to run Tare for you:

• Anthropic runs the AI model. Meal photos and notes, measurements, your details, what Apple Health and Oura recorded, workouts, day notes, conversations and memories are sent to it to estimate meals and write the coach's replies. Progress pictures are never sent. Anthropic doesn't train on them.
• Railway hosts Tare's server, database and photo storage, in the United States.
• Cloudflare serves the web app and keeps Tare's backup copy, in North America.
• Apple delivers notifications to your phone. A notification's text passes through Apple's push service and can include a meal's numbers.

And the people and apps you choose, only if you turn them on:

• People in your circles see what you switch on for each circle: your weight trend, waist, daily calories and protein, meals with their photos, activity and sleep, or day notes.
• Anyone with a public link you make sees that one meal (and the photos you pick) or that one piece in Learn, without your name.
• An app you connect (like Claude, in Settings, Connected apps) can read what you've logged, what Apple Health and Oura recorded, and your targets, memories and plan, and sends it on to the AI model it uses, under its own terms.

Tracking. No other company can follow what you do on Tare across other websites or apps: Tare has no ads, no analytics and no tracking code. Tare never sells your health data.

Your rights

You can do these yourself, at any time, for free:

• See it. Settings, Download my data, gives you a file with everything Tare keeps for your account, photos included (on the web app now, and in the iPhone app from its next version). Settings also shows your circles and what each one sees, your public links and your connected apps; the companies above are the others who get it.
• Change it. Change or delete any meal, measurement, note, memory, workout or photo in the app.
• Delete it. Settings, Delete account, deletes your account, everything you've logged and your photos straight away, and their backup copies within 14 days. Deleting a single meal, note or memory removes it from the app and from what the coach sees; Tare keeps a record of it, and a deleted meal's photos, until you delete your account.
• Take back your consent. Delete your account to stop Tare collecting your health data and sending it to the AI model. Disconnect Apple Health (in the Health app) or Oura (in Tare's Settings) to stop what they send.

Or email elliot.bonneville@gmail.com from the address on your account and say what you'd like, including to have something deleted for good. Tare answers within 45 days (and tells you within them if it needs 45 more), may ask you to confirm the request is yours, and asks the companies above to delete what they hold. Using these rights never changes the price or what Tare does for you.

Appeal. If Tare turns down a request, it tells you why. To appeal, reply with "Appeal" in the subject, and Tare answers in writing within 45 days. If it still says no, you can contact your attorney general: Washington, Nevada or Connecticut.

Changes to this policy

When this policy changes, the date at the top changes. Before Tare collects a new kind of health data, uses it for a new purpose or shares it with someone new, it tells you in the app and asks you first.
