🗂️ Data Deletion Guide

Last Updated: February 21, 2025

What's the difference?

Delete My Food Data: Removes all your logged meals, weight entries, and health data but keeps your account active. You can continue using CalBuddy with a fresh start.

Delete Account: Permanently deletes both your data AND your account/login credentials. You'll need to create a new account to use CalBuddy again.

This guide covers "Delete My Food Data" only. To delete your entire account, see the Account Deletion Guide.

What Data Will Be Deleted?

When you use "Delete My Food Data," the following information will be permanently removed:

Food Logs: All meals you've logged (names, calories, macros, photos analyzed)
Weight Entries: All weight tracking records
Onboarding Data: Your height, weight, age, gender, activity level, and fitness goals
Buddy Connections: Your buddy relationship and shared progress data
Streaks: Your daily streak history and records
Local Device Data: All cached logs and preferences stored on your device

What's NOT deleted: Your account credentials (email/login), display name, calorie goal setting, and account settings.

⚠️ Important: This Action Cannot Be Undone

Once you delete your data:

All your food logs and health data are permanently removed
There is no backup — data is deleted from our servers and your device
Data cannot be recovered — this deletion is permanent
You'll start with a completely fresh slate in the app

Who Can Delete Their Data?

Everyone! Both registered users and guest users (local/offline mode) can delete their data. This feature is available to all CalBuddy users.

How to Delete Your Food Data

Open CalBuddy App

Launch the CalBuddy mobile application on your iOS or Android device.

Go to Your Profile

Tap the Profile tab (bottom-right of the screen).

Scroll to Privacy & Data Section

Scroll down to find the "Privacy & Data" section near the bottom of the profile page.

Tap "Delete My Food Data"

Tap the "Delete My Food Data" button. It appears with a red/warning color.

Note: This is different from "Delete Account" — make sure you select the correct option!

Confirm First Time

A dialog will warn you that this action cannot be undone. Tap "Continue" to proceed.

Final Confirmation

A second confirmation dialog will appear: "Are you sure? This will permanently delete all your food logs, weight entries, and buddy data. This cannot be undone."

Tap "Delete Everything" to confirm.

Deletion Process

The app will:

Remove all your food logs from the cloud (if signed in)
Remove all buddy relationships
Clear all locally cached data from your device

This usually takes just a few seconds.

Data Deleted Successfully

You'll see a confirmation message. Your account remains active and you can immediately start fresh — re-run onboarding to set your calorie goal again.

What Happens After Data Deletion?

Immediate: All food logs and health data removed from your device and our servers
Account Status: Your account remains active and you stay signed in
Fresh Start: Re-run onboarding from Profile → Restart Onboarding to set your goals again

How CalBuddy Handles Your Data:

Signed-In Mode: Food logs and profile stored on Supabase cloud servers
AI Processing: Food photos/descriptions sent to Google Gemini API in real-time for analysis only — not stored permanently

Complete Control: You own your data and can delete it anytime

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I recover my data after deletion?

No. Once deleted, your food logs and health data are permanently removed and cannot be recovered. We don't maintain personal data backups outside of what's needed for normal operation.

Will deleting data sign me out?

No. "Delete My Food Data" only removes your health and meal data. Your account remains active and you stay signed in.

What's the difference between "Delete My Food Data" and "Delete Account"?

Delete My Food Data: Removes all your personal health content but keeps your account active. You can continue using CalBuddy with the same login.

Delete Account: Permanently deletes both your data AND your account. You'll be signed out and need to create a new account to use CalBuddy again.

Can I delete individual food log entries?

Yes! On the Dashboard, swipe left on any food entry or tap it to open options, then select Delete. This removes individual entries rather than all your data at once.

Does deleting data affect my buddy's account?

Yes — your buddy will be notified that the buddy connection has ended. Your buddy's own food logs and data are completely unaffected.
