Privacy policy
Your kitchen,
your business.
Last updated: October 14, 2026
Your meals, photos and chat live on your iPhone. We don't show ads, we don't track you across apps, and we never sell your information.
This policy explains what information Mittlo ("the app", "we", "us") uses, why, and the choices you have. Mittlo is an independent app made by Asli (produckmanager.com). If anything here is unclear, email asli@produckmanager.com.
What stays on your device
Most of what you put into Mittlo is saved only on your iPhone, inside the app:
- Your first name or nickname, and the answers you give during setup (what brings you here, how your days usually go, how many meals you usually eat, food preferences and allergies).
- Meals you log, meal photos, cravings, meals you mark as skipped, your answers about how a meal held you or whether a craving felt like enough, meals you mark as more than you wanted, and your chat with Mitty.
- What Mitty has learned from your own answers, the things you asked Mitty to remember (Settings, What Mitty knows), your weekly notes and any small thing you chose to try.
- Mitty's growth, kitchen decor, warm days and cozy days.
- Your app settings and reminder times.
This information is not uploaded to our servers unless you send it as part of a request to Mitty (see below), you send us a feedback note, or you turn on account sync in a future version, which we will always ask about first.
What is sent to get Mitty's answers
Mitty's ideas come from an AI model. When you ask Mitty something, for example to suggest a meal, name a food in a photo or reply to a craving, the app sends what is needed for that answer through our secure server to our AI provider, Anthropic. That can include:
- Your message, and a photo if you choose to share one (a meal, your fridge or a menu).
- Helpful context: the time of day, your setup answers, your food preferences and allergies, foods you keep off your plate, and recent meal names with how they held or whether they felt like enough.
- Where you are and the name of the place, when you tell Mitty.
To answer your requests, the app also sends a short summary of what Mitty has learned from your own answers: foods and pairings that kept you full or faded sooner, pairings that felt like enough after a craving, what tended to come before cravings, places you often name, and, when you name a place, the meals that kept you full there before. It is made on your phone in words only and is not stored on our server.
If you tell Mitty something lasting about your days, like where you usually eat, the app can keep it on your phone in a list you can see and edit under Settings, What Mitty knows. These notes are sent with your requests so ideas fit you, and are not stored on our server. Mitty never keeps notes about your health, weight, body or medication.
Once a week, the app makes a short summary of your week on your phone, in words only, and sends it so Mitty can write you a weekly note. It can include what tended to come before meals you marked as more than you wanted. If you say yes to a small thing to try that week, it is sent with your requests for ideas during that week. You can turn the weekly note off under Settings, What Mitty knows; when it is off, no weekly summary is made or sent, and you can stop a try at any time there.
If you mark a meal as more than you wanted, only a simple yes that a recent meal felt like more than you wanted is sent, never which meal it was. How a meal held you and whether a craving felt like enough are sent with your recent meal names.
We do not send your Apple Account details, contacts or location. Our server passes the request along and does not keep a copy of your messages, photos or summaries after the answer is returned, other than short-lived technical logs used to keep the service working and to prevent abuse. Anthropic may keep requests for up to 30 days for safety and to prevent misuse, and then deletes them. If a request is flagged for breaking their usage rules, they may keep it longer, as described in Anthropic's own privacy policy. Under our agreement with Anthropic, your requests are not used to train their AI models.
AI answers can be wrong. Mitty offers everyday food ideas and is not medical advice. Check with your doctor before changing your care.
Subscriptions and purchases
Payments are handled entirely by Apple through your Apple Account. We never see your card or payment details. To know whether you have an active subscription, the app uses RevenueCat, a subscription service, which receives an anonymous app user ID and your purchase receipts from Apple. You can manage or cancel your subscription any time in your iPhone's Settings under your name, then Subscriptions.
Feedback and support
When you write a note in Settings, then Send feedback, the note is sent to our server (Supabase) so we can read it and make Mittlo better. It is saved together with the type of note you chose, the app version, the time it was sent and the anonymous app user ID. It does not include your name, Apple Account, email address or anything else you didn't write in the note, so please don't add personal details you don't want to share. If you are offline, the note waits on your iPhone and is sent the next time the app can reach our server. We keep feedback notes for as long as they help us improve the app, and you can ask us to delete them at any time (see below).
When you choose Get support, your own email app opens and your message comes to us as a normal email. We use it only to answer you, and we delete it on request.
Notifications
If you allow notifications, the app schedules gentle mealtime hellos on your device, skipping a meal you already shared and meals you told Mitty you don't usually eat. You can change or turn them off in the app or in iOS Settings.
Camera and photos
The app asks for camera or photo library access only when you choose to snap or pick a picture. Photos you log are saved inside the app on your device. A photo is only sent off the device when you share it with Mitty to get an answer, as described above.
Usage stats
To learn which parts of Mittlo are helpful and what to improve, the app sends anonymous usage stats to PostHog, an analytics service, using its EU servers. These say things like when the app was opened, which screens were opened, which buttons were used (for example "What should I eat?"), whether setup was finished and whether a subscription purchase went through, together with basic device details such as the iPhone model, iOS version, app version, language and time zone.
Usage stats are tied to a random ID created by the app, not to your name, Apple Account or advertising ID. They never include what you write, the food you log, your photos, your setup answers or your chat with Mitty. We do not look up your location from your IP address, and we do not record your screen.
You can turn this off any time in Settings, then Data and privacy, then Share usage stats. Choosing Delete account and data also gives the app a new random ID, so earlier stats can no longer be connected to you.
What we don't do
- No advertising and no ad tracking.
- No selling or renting of your information, ever.
- No tracking you across other companies' apps or websites.
- No calories, weight, measurements or body data are collected.
Service providers
| Provider | What it does | What it receives |

Each provider may only use your information to provide its service to us.
Keeping, exporting and deleting your data
- Export: in the app, open Settings and choose Export my days for a simple list of everything you saved: meals, cravings and snacks, how they held or felt, places, and meals you skipped.
- Delete: open Settings, then Data and privacy, and choose Delete account and data. This erases your meals, photos, chat, what Mitty has learned and knows about you, your weekly notes and progress from your device and resets the random ID used for usage stats. It also deletes your anonymous account on our server, together with the feedback notes you sent, your daily request counts and your saved subscription status. Deleting the app removes everything stored on your device, but not those server records, so use Delete account and data first if you want them gone. Your Apple subscription itself is managed by Apple: cancel it in your iPhone's Settings.
- Anything else: email us and we will help with access, correction or deletion of any information we may hold, such as feedback notes or a support email you sent.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example in the European Union, the United Kingdom or California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or move your personal information, and to object to or limit how it is used. Because most data stays on your device, you can do most of this yourself in the app. For anything else, email us and we will respond within the time the law requires. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Where the law requires a legal basis, we rely on providing the service you asked for, on your consent for sending requests to our AI provider, which you can turn off in Settings at any time, and on our legitimate interest in improving the app for anonymous usage stats, which you can turn off in Settings.
Children
Mittlo is made for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you think a child has used the app, contact us and we will help remove any information.
Security
Requests sent to Mitty travel over encrypted connections, and the AI key stays on our server, never in the app. Data on your iPhone is protected by iOS. No method is perfect, but we work to keep your information safe.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. If a change is significant, such as adding account sync, we will let you know in the app before it takes effect.
