Kiki helps you notice which foods line up with bloating, with a cartoon cat along for the ride. This page says plainly what data the app touches, where it goes, and what never leaves your phone.
Your food scans, scores, check-ins, streaks, notes, photos you attach, and everything your pet wears live in the app's local database on your device. Kiki does not require an account, and we do not run a server that stores your food or symptom history.
Food photos and typed descriptions — only if you say yes. If you turn on AI analysis (the app asks you first), the photo or text you scan is sent to our own server, which passes it to an AI model provider (currently OpenRouter) to identify the food. It is used to answer your scan and not to train models by us. If you never turn this on, photos and descriptions are scored on-device against a built-in food table.
Barcodes. Scanning a barcode sends the product number (just the number) to Open Food Facts, a public food database, to look up ingredients.
Usage analytics. The app sends usage events (screens viewed, features used) and session replays to PostHog, our analytics provider, tied to a random per-install identifier — not your name, email, or contacts. Replays mask what you type and your photos. We use this to see which parts of the app work and which confuse people. No advertising identifiers, no cross-app tracking, and we never sell data.
Purchases. Subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple. Apple tells our server about subscription events (started, renewed, expired) tied to a random token — never your payment details, which we never see.
Kiki is a wellness app, not a medical device, and it does not diagnose, treat, or cure anything. What you log about how your body feels stays on your device unless you explicitly use an AI feature on it, as described above.
Settings → delete account removes your scans, check-ins, streaks, pet items, and profile from the device, and it cannot be undone. Deleting the app removes the local database. Analytics events already sent are retained by PostHog per its retention policy under our random install identifier.
Kiki is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
If this policy changes, the date above changes with it. Questions: support@heykiki.app.
