Dr. Food® Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 17, 2026

 

COOL INC. ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application "Dr. Food" (the "App"). The App is designed to track your nutritional intake, hydration, and encourage healthy habits and lifestyle changes to promote weight loss and enhanced physical fitness.

 

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the App.

 

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" above. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the App after the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.

 

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us, information collected automatically, and information from other sources. The types of information we collect depend on how you interact with the App.

 

1. Information You Provide Directly

 

1. Account Information: When you create an account, we may collect your name, email address, password, age, gender, height, weight, and fitness goals.

 

1. Health and Fitness Data: To provide the App's core functionality, we collect data you input or authorize, such as nutritional intake (e.g., food logs, calorie counts), hydration levels, exercise activities, weight measurements, and other health-related metrics. This may include sensitive health data, such as dietary preferences or physical activity levels.

 

1. User Content: Any notes, feedback, or other content you submit through the App.

 

1. Payment Information: If you make in-app purchases (e.g., premium features), we collect billing details, but payment processing is handled by third-party providers (e.g., Apple Pay), and we do not store your full payment card information.

 

1. Information Collected Automatically

 

1. Device and Usage Information: We collect information about your device, such as device type, operating system version, unique device identifiers, IP address, browser type, and mobile network information. We also collect usage data, including app interactions, session duration, features used, and crash reports.

 

1. Location Data: If you enable location services, we may collect approximate location data to provide location-based features, such as nearby healthy food options or activity tracking. We only collect precise location if you explicitly consent.

 

1. Sensor Data: With your permission, we may access device sensors or integrate with HealthKit (on iOS devices) to collect fitness data like steps, heart rate, or other metrics from compatible wearables.

 

1. Information from Other Sources

 

1. Third-Party Integrations: If you connect the App to third-party services (e.g., Apple Health, fitness trackers), we may receive data from those services with your authorization.

 

1. Analytics Providers: We use third-party analytics tools to collect aggregated usage statistics.

 

We do not collect data from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent, in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If we learn we have collected such data without consent, we will delete it promptly.

 

1. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

 

1. To Provide and Improve the App: To track your nutritional intake, hydration, and health habits; generate personalized recommendations for weight loss and fitness; and enable features like progress reports and habit reminders.

 

1. Health and Fitness Management: Solely to help you manage your health and fitness goals. We do not use health data (e.g., from HealthKit) for advertising, marketing, or any other purpose unrelated to improving your health experience, unless you provide explicit permission for health research.

 

1. Communications: To send you app updates, notifications, tips, or responses to your inquiries.

 

1. Analytics and Research: To analyze usage patterns, improve app performance, and develop new features. This may involve de-identified or aggregated data.

 

1. Security and Fraud Prevention: To detect and prevent abuse, fraud, or security incidents.

 

1. Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal processes.

 

We only collect and use data that is necessary for these purposes. Health and fitness data is processed on your device where possible to minimize transmission. We do not write false or inaccurate data into HealthKit or any health management systems, and we do not store personal health information in iCloud.

 

 

1. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information as follows:

1. Service Providers: With third-party vendors who assist us in operating the App, such as cloud storage providers, analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics), or payment processors. These providers are contractually obligated to use your data only for the services they provide to us and to protect it equivalently to this Privacy Policy.

 

1. Affiliates: With our corporate affiliates for internal business purposes.

 

1. Legal Requirements: If required by law, such as in response to a subpoena, court order, or government request; to enforce our terms; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our users, or others.

 

1. Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, where your information may be transferred to the new owner.

 

1. With Your Consent: For any other purpose with your explicit permission, such as sharing anonymized data for research.

 

We do not share health, fitness, or medical data with third parties for advertising, marketing, or data mining purposes. Any sharing for health research requires your explicit permission. We require all third parties to maintain the confidentiality and security of your information.

 

For tracking across apps and websites owned by other companies, we use Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework and only track with your permission.

 

 

1. Data Security

 

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction. For example, we use encryption for data in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security audits. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security against all risks, including cyberattacks, data breaches, or unauthorized access by third parties. By using the App, you acknowledge and agree that you provide your information at your own risk and that we are not responsible for any unauthorized access to or use of your information that occurs despite our reasonable security measures.

 

In the event of a data breach or security incident involving your personal information, we will notify you and relevant authorities as required by applicable laws (e.g., CCPA or GDPR). However, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim any liability for damages, losses, or harms arising from such incidents, including but not limited to theft, unauthorized disclosure, or misuse of your data by third parties.

 

 

1. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law. For example:

1. Account data is retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter.

 

1. Health and fitness logs are retained to provide historical tracking but can be deleted at your request.

 

1. Usage data may be retained in aggregated form indefinitely for analytics.

When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

 

 

1. Your Rights and Choices

 

You have rights regarding your personal information, subject to applicable laws (e.g., CCPA for California residents, GDPR for EU residents):

 

1. Access and Correction: Request access to or correction of your data.

 

1. Deletion: Request deletion of your data (note: this may require account closure and loss of app functionality).

 

1. Opt-Out: Opt out of certain data uses, such as marketing communications or location tracking, via app settings.

 

1. Withdraw Consent: Revoke consent for data collection or processing at any time, though this may limit app features.

 

1. Data Portability: Request a copy of your data in a portable format.

 

1. Do Not Sell or Share: We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, but you can opt out if applicable.

 

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@coolmarketing.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe (e.g., 45 days for CCPA requests) and may require identity verification. You will not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.

 

You can also manage permissions in your device settings, such as for HealthKit access, notifications, or location services.

 

1. International Data Transfers

The App is operated in the United States. If you are located outside the US, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the US, where data protection laws may differ from your jurisdiction. By using the App, you consent to this transfer. We ensure appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, for international transfers.

 

1. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware of such collection, we will delete the information. For users under 16 in certain jurisdictions (e.g., EEA), we may require parental consent.

 

1. Third-Party Links and Services

The App may contain links to third-party websites or integrate with third-party services. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

 

1. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL COOL INC., ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM (I) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE APP; (II) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE APP; (III) ANY CONTENT OBTAINED FROM THE APP; (IV) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE, OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT, INCLUDING ANY DATA BREACH, CYBERATTACK, OR SECURITY INCIDENT; OR (V) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE APP, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF A REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

 

IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY OR YOUR USE OF THE APP EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (U.S. $100.00) OR THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US IN THE PAST TWELVE (12) MONTHS FOR THE APP OR RELATED SERVICES. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY EVEN IF YOUR REMEDIES UNDER THIS PRIVACY POLICY FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

 

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This section shall survive any termination of your use of the App.
