This Privacy Policy explains how Healthy Beetle collects, uses, discloses, retains, and protects information when you use our website, applications, and related nutrition and fitness services (the “Service”). It also explains the choices available to you.
Health-marker tracking is optional. If you use it, Healthy Beetle may collect information you choose to enter, including:
We use this information to display your private history, calculate ratios, create trends and reports, support user-requested exports, and provide the optional Lower LDL guide.
Personnel access: Healthy Beetle personnel do not routinely review this information. Access is limited to authorized personnel when reasonably necessary to provide support you request, investigate security or abuse, operate the Service, comply with law, or protect users and the Service. Health-marker records are not available through Healthy Beetle’s routine administrative interface.
Optional Nutrition Assistant use: your health-marker values are excluded from Nutrition Assistant requests by default. If you separately enable this setting, Healthy Beetle may include up to your two latest lipid panels when your current message is cholesterol-related. The setting can be disabled under Profile → Health → Health data privacy. Your typed chat message and recent chat history are sent as part of every Nutrition Assistant conversation and may contain information you chose to discuss.
Healthy Beetle does not use health-marker information for advertising, sell it, or share it with insurance companies, employers, or healthcare providers unless you direct us to export or share it or disclosure is required by law.
AI features are optional and operate only when you choose to use them. Depending on the feature, Healthy Beetle sends selected content to OpenAI to provide the requested result:
OpenAI states that API data is not used to train its models by default unless the API customer opts in. Under default API controls, prompts and responses may be retained in abuse-monitoring logs for up to 30 days, subject to limited exceptions described by OpenAI. See OpenAI’s API data-controls documentation.
Healthy Beetle may retain chat messages, transcripts, structured analysis results, corrections, and saved outputs as part of your account until you clear or delete them or delete your account. AI output may be inaccurate and is not medical advice.
The Nutrition Assistant uses the page, diary date, or saved meal you select to keep the conversation relevant. You can optionally rate an answer as helpful or not helpful. We also record when you follow a suggested action, using its internal action name rather than a submitted URL. These records stay with your chat in Healthy Beetle, help us assess usefulness, and are deleted when you clear that chat history or delete your account. Following a suggestion does not tell us that you completed the task.
We use service providers only for functions needed to operate the Service. They may process information on our behalf under their own contractual and privacy obligations. These services include:
We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, in connection with a corporate transaction subject to appropriate protections, or with your direction or consent.
Healthy Beetle may use Google Analytics on public pages to understand general website use. Google Analytics is disabled on authenticated account pages, including diaries, profiles, health markers, and reports. We also use cookies and similar storage that are necessary for authentication, security, preferences, and core Service operation.
To find technical problems and improve onboarding and food logging, Healthy Beetle collects daily totals for steps reached, completed actions, retries and error categories, together with broad processing-time ranges, browser and device categories, and the website version. These counters stay in Healthy Beetle and are available only to authorized administrators.
Diagnostic counters do not contain account identifiers, IP addresses, page addresses, names, health values, meal descriptions, photos or AI results. We do not save individual event histories or session recordings for these flows. Reports cover the last 30 days, and older counters are removed during routine cleanup.
You can turn these counters off for this browser without affecting any feature. This choice is separate from AI consent. We also respect your browser's Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal for these diagnostics. Essential security and service logs continue to operate.
Product diagnostics are on in this browser.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed for the nature of the information we maintain. These include encrypted network connections, authentication controls, access restrictions, protected backups, dependency and security updates, and limiting routine administrative access to health-marker records.
No online service can guarantee absolute security. If an incident affects information covered by applicable breach-notification law, Healthy Beetle will investigate and provide required notifications.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, obtain a copy of, or delete personal information and to withdraw or change certain consent choices. Healthy Beetle provides the following account controls:
For assistance or a privacy request, contact support@healthybeetle.net. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
Healthy Beetle is a consumer nutrition and fitness service, not a healthcare provider or emergency service. It is not offered as a healthcare provider’s designated medical-record system. Information entered directly into a consumer service may not be protected by HIPAA. This does not eliminate other privacy and security protections that may apply.
Healthy Beetle provides general educational information and tracking tools, not diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice. Continue prescribed treatment and consult a qualified healthcare professional about laboratory results, symptoms, medications, and medical decisions.
Healthy Beetle is intended only for adults age 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this Policy as the Service or legal requirements change. We will update the effective date and provide an appropriate notice of material changes. When required, we will request renewed consent before applying a materially different use to previously collected information.
