Privacy policy
Last updated October 19, 2026
This policy explains how A&C Labs LLC (doing business as Intake Macro Tracker) handles information when you use Intake.
Who we are
Intake is operated by A&C Labs LLC, doing business as Intake Macro Tracker ("A&C Labs," "we," "us"). This policy explains how A&C Labs collects, uses, stores and shares information when you use Intake.
Information you choose to add
Intake lets you record food, nutrition, workouts, body weight, goals, progress photos and optional challenge activity. If you create an account, we process your sign-in details, such as your email address. You may also add a name and profile picture or contact us with feedback.
Where information goes
Guest food, workouts, weight and profile information stay on your device, separate from account records. Signed-in records may be sent to our private cloud storage for synchronization; recently used food and scan data may also be cached on your device for offline use. Progress photos you upload are stored in private account storage.
Photos, AI and food lookups
Nutrition-label and optional front-package photos are read on your device. Front-package photos are discarded after review and are not uploaded or retained in account storage; product name, brand and flavor are suggestions you must confirm, then explicitly save privately with a barcode for future use. This private save does not submit the product to the community catalog. Meal photos you submit for an estimate are securely sent to our AI service to identify foods and estimate portions and nutrition. Food searches and barcode lookups send search terms or barcode numbers to nutrition data providers, including USDA and Open Food Facts; FatSecret is used when available. Progress photos are uploaded only when you choose to add them.
Optional coach sharing
Coach sharing is optional. Accepting a coach invitation shares nothing by itself. Each week you choose which categories go into a shared summary — nutrition, training and/or weight — built from records you logged or confirmed; unselected categories are not included. Optional check-in notes (such as travel, stress, schedule or soreness), experiment responses and feedback are shared only when you submit them to that coach. Raw Health Connect readings stay on your device and are never sent to a coach. Coach notes, target proposals and experiments are stored in Intake for that connection; coaches cannot change your targets. If either of you disconnects, the active shared summary is cleared from Intake, and the coach can no longer open that connection’s notes, check-ins, proposals or experiments, and open proposals and experiments are marked “canceled because the connection ended” (not declined); you keep access to your own past coaching history in the app. Every note a coach writes in Intake is visible to the athlete by design; there are no hidden coach-only notes. Those records are retained in our systems as described under “How long information is kept.” Disconnecting cannot erase anything the coach already viewed, copied or saved outside Intake. Your own food, training and weight records are not affected.
Payments, reminders and community
If you purchase an Athlete subscription, Google Play processes the purchase and provides us with subscription status; we do not receive your full payment-card number. Reminders are scheduled on your phone. Private challenge information is stored with your account, while the profile information you choose to make visible can help other members find you.
Wearables and health data
With permission, Intake reads supported movement and recovery readings from Android Health Connect or Apple Health. Watch summaries remain on your phone and are not uploaded, sold or used for advertising. Scale imports are separate: you review and select up to 30 days of weight, body-fat and available same-session lean-mass readings, then explicitly save them with their recorded source into your private Intake account. Imported weights support progress, TDEE estimates and requested goal review; body composition is a scale estimate, not measured calorie needs. Calorie and macro targets do not change automatically. Imported weight diary entries follow the same requested coaching and optional category-sharing rules as other weight entries. Revoke Intake’s permissions in your phone health settings to stop reads. Disconnecting watch summaries does not delete imported account measurements or source-provider records; use Intake account deletion for account records and the source app for its records.
Strava and deleting wearable data
Strava is a separate optional connection: imported activity and available route, distance, elevation, calorie and heart-rate details are stored privately with your account and used for history, progress and requested coaching. Health Connect summaries are different: Disconnect in Intake removes the device summary and connection flag; revoke permission in Health Connect as well. Account deletion does not clear every device cache or records in source-provider apps. Clear app or browser site storage to remove local records, after syncing anything you want to keep. See Intake’s Data Usage page for these choices.
How we use information
We use information to provide and secure Intake, synchronize your records, calculate requested estimates, personalize coaching when enabled, support community features, remember your preferences, respond to requests and understand app performance when analytics is enabled.
Website download links
We count clicks on website Google Play links by day and button location, without saving visitor identifiers, cookies or account details for this counter. Repeat clicks count separately; clicks do not confirm an installation. Google Play links include a website campaign label so Google can report referral performance.
Service providers and disclosures
We use Lovable Cloud for account sign-in and private data storage, nutrition data providers for requested searches, an AI service for meal-photo estimates, and payment or email providers when those services are active. They process only information needed to provide their services. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect safety or rights, or as part of a business transaction subject to appropriate safeguards.
Sale and targeted advertising
A&C Labs does not sell your personal information for money, does not share it with data brokers, and does not use health or fitness data for advertising. We never disclose your food logs, weight, workouts, health metrics or other personal records to other members, employers, insurers or third parties except as described in this policy or when required by law. You can use California Privacy Choices to opt out of sale or sharing as those terms are defined by California law.
Feedback
If you choose to email feedback, your mail app prepares a message addressed to us. The message is sent only when you tap Send there. Please avoid including passwords or sensitive information in feedback.
How long information is kept
Device-stored records stay on your device until you remove them or clear the app’s data. Account records are kept while needed to provide the app. You can request deletion of account-associated records, subject to records we must keep for legal or operational reasons.
Your choices and requests
You can remove food logs and saved scans in Intake, change personalization, sharing and email choices in Settings, and clear device-stored data through your phone. To ask for access, correction or deletion, email us. We may need to verify that the account belongs to you before acting on a request.
Security and children
We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information, but no method is completely secure. Intake is for adults age 18 or older and is not directed to children.
Governing law
This policy and any dispute about it are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Alabama, where A&C Labs LLC is organized, consistent with our Terms of Service. This does not remove privacy or consumer protections that apply where you live.
Changes
We may update this notice as Intake changes. The current version and its date will appear here.
