GastroSnap — Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

GastroSnap is built local-first: your recipes, cooking sessions, shopping lists, and receipt history are stored only on your device, using Apple's on-device SwiftData framework. Aguach1leLabs does not operate a server, and there is no account or login — we never receive or store your data.

Camera and Photo Library

GastroSnap requests camera and photo library access so you can scan cookbook pages and receipts. Photos you scan are processed on your device or, for recipe/receipt text extraction, sent directly from your device to OpenAI's API using an API key you provide and control yourself in Settings. Aguach1leLabs never sees, stores, or has access to these photos or your API key.

Your own AI key (BYOK)

GastroSnap uses a "bring your own key" model for cloud AI features. Your OpenAI API key is stored only in your device's Keychain, encrypted by iOS. It is never transmitted to Aguach1leLabs, logged, or included in any file we can access.

What we don't do

• No analytics or crash-reporting SDKs
• No advertising or ad networks
• No tracking across other companies' apps or websites
• No sale of your data — we don't have a way to collect it in the first place

Third parties

The only third party GastroSnap ever communicates with is OpenAI, and only for the specific photo you choose to scan, using your own API key. OpenAI's handling of that request is governed by OpenAI's own privacy policy.

Children's privacy

GastroSnap is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone.
