Dash Eat — Privacy Policy
Last updated 17 October 2026
The short version
Dash Eat keeps your meals, your weight and your fasting settings so it can show you a daily guide and your trends. Nothing is sold, there is no third-party advertising and no tracking across other companies' apps or websites.
One account for Dash Eat and Dash Move
Dash Eat uses your Dash account, the same one as Dash Move. Your email address, your name and your sign-in are handled as described in the Dash privacy policy (dash-move.app/legal/privacy). This page covers what Dash Eat adds.
Using Dash Eat without an account
You can use Dash Eat without creating an account. The app then signs in with an anonymous identifier (Google Firebase anonymous sign-in): no email address, no name. What you log is stored on our servers under that identifier, exactly as for an account, as described on this page. It is tied to the app on this phone: if you delete the app or change phones without creating an account, you can no longer reach it. Creating an account later keeps everything you logged. To erase it: You, then Account, then "Delete my data and leave".
What Dash Eat collects, and why
Your food log
The foods and dishes you log, their quantities, the meal and the time, the foods and dishes you create, and your favourites. Used to count your day and show your trends.
Your body and your goal
Your weight, height, birth year, sex (optional: you can choose not to say), activity level, goal (lose, keep or gain) and, if you set one, a target weight. Weight, height and the target are shared with Dash Move ("Your body"), so you weigh in once for both apps. Used to calculate your daily guide.
Your Dash Move activity
If the switch in You is on, the energy of your Dash Move sessions is added to your daily guide. Turn it off and it is not used.
Fasting, and Ramadan only if you turn it on
Your fasting days and eating window, if you set them. Dash Eat never asks whether you observe Ramadan and never guesses it. The Ramadan setting is optional and is stored only if you enable it yourself: the city, its coordinates, the prayer-time method and your adjustments. Because it can reveal a religious belief, it is treated as sensitive data under the same consent as your health data. It is used only to show your prayer times and Ramadan meals, never for marketing or suggestions, and you can turn it off at any time.
Your approximate location, only for prayer times
- Asked only if you tap "Use my position" in the Ramadan setup, never in the background, never for anything else.
- Rounded on your phone to 0.1° (about 10 km) before it is saved, or replaced by the city you choose. Your precise position never leaves your phone.
- If you search for a city instead, the text you type is sent from your phone to the Open-Meteo geocoding service to find it.
What you type or say, with « Say it or type it »
With « Say it or type it » (Dash Eat Pro), you describe a meal in a sentence. If you dictate it, the dictation is done by your phone's own keyboard and system: Dash Eat never records audio and receives only the text. The text is sent once to Anthropic (Claude) for analysis, then dropped: Dash does not keep it. Only the foods you then choose to add are saved in your diary.
Barcodes
When you scan a barcode, our server asks Open Food Facts for that product. Only the barcode is sent, nothing that identifies you.
Your device
Your language and time zone, so days start at your midnight. Dash Eat sends no crash reports and no analytics, and contains no advertising or analytics SDK. Like any online service, our hosting keeps technical request logs (IP address, time, the address requested, the technical identifier your phone sends) for security and to fix outages; they are deleted after at most 30 days and never used to profile you.
The legal basis: your explicit consent
What you eat, your weight and your fasting are health data, a special category under the GDPR (article 9). Dash Eat processes them only with your explicit consent, asked on its own screen before you start (article 9(2)(a)). Your account itself is processed to provide the service you signed up for (article 6(1)(b)).
You can withdraw your consent at any time in the app: You, then Privacy, then "Withdraw my health consent". Dash Eat then stops recording anything new. What is already stored stays in your account until you delete it (see below) or ask us to erase your Dash Eat data.
Dash Move
If your account has no Dash Move sessions yet, Dash Eat may suggest Dash Move inside the app, at most once a month. We use only which Dash apps your account uses and how you answered earlier suggestions. Never your meals, your weight or any other health data, which are used only for your diary. Never by notification, and nothing leaves Dash. To know whether these suggestions are useful, we record in our own database when one is shown, tapped or dismissed, and whether you sign in to Dash Move within 14 days of tapping it. No third party is involved. Legal basis: legitimate interest (article 6(1)(f)). Object any time in You → Privacy → "Suggestions from our other apps", or with "Don't show again" on a suggestion. Kept for 12 months.
Who else processes it
A small number of processors, acting on our instructions:
- Railway — hosting and the database.
- Cloudflare — the network in front of our server, and R2 file storage for the Dash account (such as a profile photo) and the progress photos you choose to add to a check-in. They are private: only you can see them, never on the feed, never shared with friends or a coach, and they are deleted with your account.
- Google Firebase — signing in to your Dash account.
- Open Food Facts — product lookups by barcode, from our server, with the barcode only.
- Open-Meteo — the city search in the Ramadan setup, with the text you type only.
- Anthropic (Claude) — only for photo logging and « Say it or type it » (Dash Eat Pro), and only after you give a separate consent the first time you use one of them. For a photo, only the meal photo is sent, with its metadata removed (no location); for « Say it or type it », only the text, never audio. It is analysed, then deleted — Dash never keeps it.
We do not sell personal data and do not share it with advertisers or data brokers.
How long we keep it
As long as your account exists. Deleting your account erases it; backups roll off within 30 days. Without an account, the same applies to the anonymous identifier: until you erase it from the app (You, then Account, then "Delete my data and leave").
Deleting, and your other rights
- Delete your account from the app — You, then Account, then "Delete my account". This erases your Dash account and its data in both apps, Dash Eat and Dash Move. It cannot be undone. Without the app: dash-eat.app/en/delete-account.
- Access, a copy, correction, erasure, restriction, objection, portability — most of it you can do yourself; for the rest, write to us.
- Complain — to your data protection authority (in France, the CNIL).
Age
Dash Eat's daily guides and weight targets are not designed for anyone under 16, and we do not knowingly process the health data of children.
Where your data is
Dash is operated from the European Union and data is stored in the European Union. Some processors may process data elsewhere under standard contractual clauses.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, we will say so in the app before the change takes effect.
