This Privacy Policy describes how Kaky (operated by Riad Benyamna) collects, uses, and protects your personal information. Questions? Contact us at privacy@kaky.org.
We collect personal information you voluntarily provide when registering or using the app, including:
We do not process sensitive personal information.
Microphone access is used solely for voice food logging. Audio is processed in real time and never stored. You may revoke microphone permission at any time in your device settings.
Our use of information obtained via Google APIs complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
We process your personal information to:
EU / UK (GDPR): We rely on Consent, Performance of a Contract, Legitimate Interests, Legal Obligations, and Vital Interests as appropriate.
Canada: We process your information based on express or implied consent, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.
We may share your data with the following third-party service providers:

Yes. Kaky uses AI (natural language processing) to analyze food from voice input. This is powered by Google Cloud AI and OpenRouter. Your input is processed by these providers solely to deliver the service.
You must not use Kaky's AI features in violation of these providers' terms of service.
If you sign in using Google or another social account, we receive profile information (such as your name and email address) from that provider. We use this information only as described in this Privacy Policy.
We are not responsible for how third-party providers handle your data. Please review their respective privacy policies before connecting your account.
Our servers are located in the United States. If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, your data may be transferred to and processed in the US. We rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses to safeguard your data during such transfers.
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active. Voice audio is never stored — it is processed in real time and discarded immediately after analysis.
When you delete your account, your personal data is deleted or anonymized from our systems.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal information. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system is 100% secure. We encourage you to use the Services in a secure environment.
