Privacy policy
Last updated 19 September 2026
Fair Go is a kilojoule tracker made in Australia by Naturally Creative. This policy says exactly what the app collects, where it is kept and who else ever sees it. If something here is unclear, write to matt@fairgo.today and we will fix the wording.
The short version
- Fair Go shows no advertising and has no advertising, analytics or tracking SDKs in it.
- Your health data is never used for advertising or marketing, never sold, and never shared with a data broker.
- Progress photos never leave your phone.
- Your account data is stored in Sydney, Australia.
- You can export everything and delete your account from inside the app, without asking anyone.
Who we are
Fair Go is published by Naturally Creative, an Australian business. For privacy questions, including a request to access or correct your information, write to matt@fairgo.today. We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
What Fair Go collects
| What | Why | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Your Apple account identifier and, if you choose to share it, your name and email | To sign you in and keep your data attached to you across devices | Your account, in Sydney |
| Goals: energy, protein, water, steps, workouts a week, an optional goal weight | They are the numbers the app is counting against | Your account |
| Food and water logs, and weigh-ins | They are the app | Your account |
| Your household: each person’s first name, diet and portion of an adult plate | To scale a recipe and split a plate | Your account |
| Workouts, the training week, and every set of every finished session | Exercise history | Your account |
| Foods you add or correct | So your numbers follow you to a new phone | Your account |
| Your profile photo, if you add one | So a crew can tell who’s who | Your account |
| Your @handle, if you pick one | So people who know it can invite you to a crew or household | Your account |
| Recipes and their photos, the week’s plan and the shopping list | Cooking | Your account, shared with your household |
| Crews you’re in, and the recipes and workouts you share to them | Sharing with people you chose | Your account |
| Invites you send or receive | So the person can say yes or no | Your account |
| The foods you usually pick (“coconut cream” means the brand you buy) | So search and recipe imports pick them for you | Your account, readable by your household |
| Progress photos | Seeing change over months | Your phone only, behind Face ID |
| Reminder settings | To buzz at the right time | Your phone only |
There is no advertising identifier, no analytics SDK, no crash reporter and no tracking pixel in Fair Go. We do not build a profile of you and we do not track you across other apps or websites.
Apple Health
Fair Go asks to use Apple Health. You choose what to allow, and you can change it at any time in the Health app under Sharing → Apps.
Fair Go reads your daily steps, your daily active energy, your body weight, and workouts other apps have recorded — so your weigh-ins fill themselves in and a run recorded elsewhere counts towards your week.
Fair Go writes the water and food you log, weigh-ins you type in, and workouts you finish in the app, so the rest of your health picture stays in one place.
Health data is used only to show you your own numbers inside Fair Go. In line with Apple’s rules and our own view of the matter:
- Health data is never used for advertising, marketing or anything like it.
- Health data is never sold, rented or disclosed to a data broker or an information reseller.
- Health data is never shared with a third party except as needed to run the app for you, as listed below.
- Health data is never used for research without your separate, explicit consent — and Fair Go currently does no research at all.
Camera and photos
The camera is used for two things: scanning a barcode, and taking a progress photo. A barcode is turned into a number and looked up; no image is stored or sent. Progress photos are kept in Fair Go’s own private storage on your phone, protected by Face ID or your passcode, and are never uploaded to us or to anyone else. Photos you add to a recipe are stored with that recipe in your account, where the people in your household can see them.
Your voice
When you tap the microphone to say what you ate, iOS turns your speech into text. Where your iPhone can do that on the device, it does. Otherwise iOS sends the audio to Apple’s speech service under Apple’s privacy policy. Fair Go only ever receives the text, and it is used to work out what you ate and nothing else.
Who else is involved
| Who | What they see | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase (hosting), region ap-southeast-2, Sydney | Everything stored in your account | They host the database and the account. They are a processor: they don’t use your data for their own purposes. |
| Apple | Your sign-in, and speech audio when your phone can’t transcribe on device | Sign in with Apple, and dictation |
| Anthropic | Only the text of a recipe or workout you ask Fair Go to import, or a question the app’s own rules couldn’t read | To turn free text into ingredients, steps or foods. No logs, weigh-ins, photos or health history are ever sent. Anthropic does not train on this data. |
| jsDelivr | A request for an exercise photo when you open how to do an exercise. Like any web request it carries your IP address; nothing about you or your training is sent. | To show the start and finish photos from the public free-exercise-db library |
| Open Food Facts | A barcode number, when you scan one the app hasn’t seen, and the words of a food search or a recipe ingredient, like “coconut cream”. Never who asked. | To find Australian packaged products |
| An assistant you connect yourself (Claude, ChatGPT) | Whatever you ask it to read, using a key of its own | Only if you connect one. See connecting an assistant. You can cut it off in the app at any time. |
We do not sell personal information, and we do not disclose it for anyone else’s advertising. We may disclose information if the law requires it, and we will tell you unless we are forbidden from doing so.
Households
A household is the people you cook for. The person who sets one up can invite an adult in it to join from their own phone, with a code, a link or their @handle. Once someone joins, everyone in the household shares the recipes and their photos, the week’s plan, the shopping list, and each person’s first name, diet and plate size. Because a recipe names its foods, people in a household can also read the foods each other has added, and the foods each other usually picks.
What each person eats, weighs, drinks and lifts, their goals and their progress photos are never shared with their household. Nobody in a household sees anyone else’s numbers. Anyone can leave a household, and the person who set it up can stop sharing with someone, at any time; the recipes stay with the household and nothing personal is deleted.
Crews and sharing
Fair Go has crews: small groups you choose to share a recipe or a workout with. Nothing is shared automatically. Every share is a deliberate tap, and a shared recipe goes without its photo. People in a crew see each other’s first name, profile photo and handle, and what each person chose to share. Your logs, weigh-ins, goals and progress photos are never shared with a crew.
Handles and invites
A handle is optional to keep and yours to change. It’s only ever matched whole: there is no search for people and no list of who uses Fair Go, so someone has to know your handle exactly to invite you. An invite waits in your app until you say yes or no. Saying no thanks stops that person inviting you to the same crew or household for 30 days, and nobody can send more than 20 invites a day.
Children
Fair Go is not for children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. A child in your household is only ever a first name, a diet and a portion size, entered by you so the cooking adds up — and Fair Go shows no energy numbers on a child’s plate anywhere, on purpose.
How long it’s kept
Your account data is kept until you delete it. When you delete your account from inside the app the account record is removed, and everything attached to it — logs, goals, household, foods you added, the foods you usually pick, your handle, invites, workouts, sessions, crews, connected assistants and your profile photo — goes with it. It is not recoverable, and there is no restore. What other people share with you stays with them: recipes you added to someone else’s household stay in it, and a household or crew you started that others are in passes to the next person in it. Backups roll off within 30 days. Anything held only on your phone is removed when you sign out or delete the app.
One exception: a food you deliberately shared with everyone, by scanning a barcode and confirming the label, stays in the shared food database after you go. It carries no connection to you.
Your rights
You can see everything Fair Go holds, take a copy of it, correct it, or delete the lot, from inside the app under You → Your data. You don’t need to ask us and you don’t need a reason. If you’d rather we did it, write to matt@fairgo.today. If you think we’ve mishandled your information, tell us first and we will come back to you within 30 days; you can also complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Security
Everything travels over TLS. Your account is protected by Sign in with Apple, so Fair Go never sees a password. Every row in the database is fenced to its owner by the database itself, not just by the app. A key you give an assistant is stored as a one-way hash, so even we can’t read it back. Progress photos are protected by your phone’s own encryption and by Face ID. No system is perfect, and we’ll tell you promptly if anything happens to yours.
Where your data goes
Your account is hosted in Sydney. The services listed above may process a small amount of data outside Australia — Apple, Anthropic, Open Food Facts and jsDelivr all operate internationally. Where that happens we take reasonable steps to ensure the recipient handles it consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the app will tell you before the change takes effect. The date at the top always reflects the current version.
