Privacy Policy
Updated November 9, 2026
Alpha-Gal Living provides food-planning, ingredient-review, nutrition, reaction-record, and safety-organization tools. Personal records are stored in the browser on the device unless a user deliberately exports, shares, or submits information to an online feature.
Information stored on the device
The web app may store food profiles, sensitivities, nutrition and food-log entries, meal plans, grocery and pantry lists, family profiles, reaction records, restaurant notes, medicine checks, tick logs, emergency-card information, saved recipe drafts, selected photographs, and preferences in browser storage.
Account information
Users can continue as guests or sign in with email and password or Google through Firebase Authentication. Depending on the method selected, Firebase and Google may process an email address, display name, profile image, provider account identifier, authentication tokens, and security information needed to create and protect the account. Alpha-Gal Living does not receive a user's Google password.
Online services
When a user chooses an online feature, Alpha-Gal Living sends only the information needed to perform that request. Ingredient and recipe AI requests may include the text entered and active profile considerations. Meal-photo analysis sends the selected image and active profile considerations to Firebase, Google Cloud, and a Google Gemini model. Food searches and product codes are sent through Firebase to USDA FoodData Central. Open Food Facts may be queried when USDA has no exact barcode match.
Authentication and technical data
Firebase Authentication is used to provide guest and account access, protect online functions, and manage usage limits. Firebase, Google Cloud, Google, USDA, Open Food Facts, and the hosting provider may process ordinary technical information such as IP address, browser type, request time, security signals, and service logs when their respective services are used.
How information is used
Information is used to provide the feature selected by the user, authenticate accounts, prevent abuse, diagnose failures, and maintain security. Alpha-Gal Living does not sell personal information and does not use food or health records for behavioral advertising.
Photographs and files
Files and photographs are accessed only after the user selects or captures them. A meal photograph is not saved to the local food log unless the user chooses the save-photo option. Browser or device permissions can be changed through system settings.
Sharing and exports
Sharing, printing, downloading, opening another website, and placing a call happen only after the user chooses the action. Receiving services process that information under their own policies.
Deleting information
Users can delete individual records in the web app. Clearing the site’s browser data removes locally stored records. Export anything you wish to keep before clearing browser data. To request deletion of an Alpha-Gal Living account and associated authentication information, email altholasgaming@gmail.com from the account email address.
Children and medical information
Alpha-Gal Living is not directed to children under 13. It is an educational and organization tool and does not diagnose, treat, certify food safety, or replace a clinician.
