Privacy
What information we collect
Nerdy Nutrient is a tool for searching and comparing food nutrition data. We believe in minimising data collection. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising purposes.
No cookies, no personal data collection, no advertising trackers.
Server Logs
Like most websites, our web server automatically records basic technical information when you visit, including:
- Your IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Pages visited and time spent
- Referring website (if any)
This information is used solely for technical maintenance, security, and to understand general usage patterns of the app. It is not used to identify individual visitors or build user profiles.
Food Search & Nutrition Data
When you use Nerdy Nutrient to search for foods or compare nutritional information, your search queries are sent to our server to retrieve results from our nutrition database. We do not store your individual search history or associate food queries with your identity.
Nutrition data is sourced from publicly available food composition databases. We make no warranties about the accuracy of this data and recommend consulting a qualified health professional for dietary advice.
Analytics
We use a privacy-friendly, self-hosted analytics tool to help us understand how visitors use this app and improve its features. This tool works as follows:
- It uses a small JavaScript snippet — no cookies are set
- All data collected is fully anonymised and aggregated
- It does not track individual users or build user profiles
- It does not use third-party advertising or tracking technologies
- Because no cookies are used, no cookie consent banner is required
The data collected includes general metrics such as page views, approximate geographic region (country/city level), browser type, and referral source. None of this information can be used to identify you personally.
External Links
Nerdy Nutrient may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies when you visit them.
Nutrition Data Sources
The nutritional data displayed in this app is sourced from publicly available food composition databases. This data is provided for informational and comparison purposes only. When you interact with food results or comparisons, we do not collect or store that activity beyond standard server logs.
Third-Party Services
Nerdy Nutrient is hosted by a third-party service provider. While we do not collect personal data, our hosting provider may collect technical information as part of providing and securing the service. We choose hosting providers that respect user privacy and meet modern data protection standards.
Your Rights
Since we do not collect personal data, there is no personal information to access, correct, or delete. However, you have the right to:
- Use this app without being tracked
- Block JavaScript or use a content blocker to opt out of analytics
- Contact us with any privacy concerns
Children's Privacy
Nerdy Nutrient is designed for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Our no-tracking approach means we don't collect identifying information from any visitor.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Our Privacy Commitment
Nerdy Nutrient exists to make nutrition information accessible and easy to compare — not to harvest your data. We are committed to transparency about how we handle your information, and we believe in minimal data collection and maximum respect for your privacy. Your food choices are your own business.
