Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-24

Matminne is operated by Daniel Stenblad ("we", "us"). We care about your privacy. This policy describes what personal data we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have.

What data we collect

  • Account information — email address and name when you register
  • Request to try Matminne — your email address and, if you like, why you want to try it, when you ask for an invite in the app. We only use it to send you an invite and to see whether it led to an account. It is deleted when you ask us to, and with your account if you create one with the same email address
  • Profile data — height, date of birth, gender, dietary preferences, allergies, activity level, and nutrition goals you set
  • User-created content — recipes, meal plans, grocery lists, pantry items, and inventory data
  • Household data — names, date of birth, and dietary profiles for household members and persons you add. Date of birth is used for birthday reminders and age-appropriate meal suggestions
  • Health and body data — weight, body measurements, food intake logs, and nutrition tracking (special category data under GDPR Art. 9, processed with your explicit consent)
  • Workout data — exercise sessions, training templates, workout plans, and personal records
  • Technical data — device type, operating system, and app version for troubleshooting

How we use your data

  • Provide and improve the service — your data powers the app's features
  • Personalization — recipe and meal suggestions based on your preferences
  • Communication — service messages and updates you've opted into
  • Troubleshooting — technical data is used to identify and fix issues

Storage and security

Your data is stored on servers in Sweden (EU). We use encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest. Passwords are hashed with PBKDF2-SHA256. We never sell your personal data to third parties.

Third-party sharing

We do not share your personal data with third parties, except:

  • Hosting providers that process data on our behalf (data processors)
  • AI service providers (OpenAI, Anthropic) — when you scan food with the camera, the image is sent to an AI service for nutritional analysis. Images are stripped of metadata (GPS, timestamps) before being sent. No personal information is linked to the image.
  • When required by law or government order

Your rights (GDPR)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Delete your account and all data — available directly in Settings > Account > Delete Account
  • Export your data in JSON format — available directly in Settings > Account > Download My Data
  • Object to certain processing of your data
  • Withdraw consent for health data processing at any time — available in the Body Measurements section

Cookies

Matminne only uses technically necessary cookies to keep you logged in. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies. On matminne.se and in the app's first steps before signing up we count page views and clicks without cookies: we store which page was viewed, how long it was in use and how far down it was scrolled, which website you came from (the domain only) and any campaign tags in the link. No IP address, no device identifier and nothing that can be linked to you is stored, and the statistics are deleted on the same schedule as other analytics data. If you continue to the app and create an account during the same visit, we store which pages you visited in that visit with your account, so we can see which pages lead to signups. That record is deleted with your account and included in your data export. On the page where you enter an invite code we count, in the same way, whether a code didn't work and whether someone clicked Request an invite.

Children and dependents

Matminne is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. The "dependents" feature allows parents to record their children's names, birth years, dietary preferences, and allergies for household meal planning. This data is processed on behalf of the parent and the child never interacts with the service directly.

Changes

We may update this policy. For significant changes, we will notify you via the app or email.
