Plate is run by one person. This policy is written to be read, not to be survived. If anything here is unclear, email support@eatplate.app and it will get fixed.
| What | Why | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | To identify your account, send sign in codes and password resets | Yes, if you make an account |
| Password | Stored only as a salted hash. Plate never holds your actual password and cannot recover it | Yes, if you make an account |
| Body weight and waist measurement | To calculate your targets and draw your trend | Weight yes, waist optional |
| Height, age, sex and activity level | To calculate energy needs using the Mifflin St Jeor equation | Yes |
| Food and workout logs | The core function of the app | You choose what to log |
| Pregnancy or breastfeeding status | To apply safer targets. Plate will not set an aggressive deficit for someone who is pregnant or breastfeeding | No. Opt in only |
| Purchase status | To know whether you have a subscription | Only if you subscribe |
Plate does not collect your location, your contacts, your photos beyond a barcode scan that is processed and discarded, your browsing history, or any device advertising identifier.
This field is optional and off by default. It is treated as sensitive information, kept for the sole purpose of making your calorie and macro targets safer, and never used for anything else. You can clear it at any time from your profile, and clearing it removes it from storage rather than flagging it as hidden.
That is the complete list. No advertising networks. No analytics vendors. No data brokers. Plate does not sell your personal data, and does not share it for cross context behavioural advertising.
Open Plate, go to Settings, choose Delete account, and confirm with your password. This removes your account record, your session tokens and your food and workout log. It is immediate and it is not reversible. You do not have to email anyone to make it happen.
If you want a copy of your data before you go, use Export in Settings.
Your data is kept while your account exists. When you delete it, it is deleted. Operational backups may hold a copy for up to 30 days before they roll off. Records of the fact that a deletion happened are kept as an audit line with no personal content in it.
Plate is a vendor of personal health records under the United States Federal Trade Commission's Health Breach Notification Rule. If your unsecured health information is ever acquired or disclosed without authorisation, you will be notified without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 calendar days after it is discovered, and the FTC will be notified within the same rule's timelines. This applies to an accidental disclosure just as much as it applies to a break in.
Wherever you live, Plate gives every user the same set of rights rather than sorting people by jurisdiction:
Use Settings inside the app, or email support@eatplate.app and it will be handled within 30 days.
Plate is not intended for anyone under 16, and accounts are not knowingly created for children. If you believe a child has made an account, email support@eatplate.app and it will be removed.
Plate is not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat or prevent anything. Its calculations are estimates based on published equations, and the methodology screen inside the app names every one of them along with its data sources. Talk to a doctor before changing your diet or training, particularly if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, managing a medical condition, or have a history of disordered eating. Plate includes a support screen with current helpline information.
If this policy changes in a way that affects what is collected or who sees it, you will be told inside the app before the change takes effect, not after.
