5. AI Data Sharing and Consent
CalorieGenius includes optional AI features that use a third-party AI provider.

Before CalorieGenius sends personal data to OpenAI for AI processing, the app asks for your permission via an in-app prompt.
The prompt discloses:
- What data is sent
- Who receives it (OpenAI, L.L.C.)
- That data is sent only after your permission
If you do not grant permission, AI features remain unavailable and your AI input data is not sent to OpenAI.
You can change this setting at any time in the app under Settings > AI Privacy by toggling AI data sharing on or off.
