Privacy Policy

Who we are

Sated is a personal wellness companion app designed for people using GLP-1 medications (such as Wegovy, Ozempic, and Mounjaro). The app is developed and operated by an independent developer based in the United Kingdom.

What data we collect

To provide the app's features, we collect and store the following:

Progress photos are stored only on your device. They are never uploaded to our servers, and we cannot see them. This also means they cannot be recovered if you lose your device or clear the app's data.

Voice mode audio is not recorded or stored. When you use voice mode, your microphone audio is streamed in real time to Google's Gemini Live service for speech understanding and a spoken reply, then discarded — we never record it and cannot play it back. Only two things are saved: anything you explicitly ask to log (which is stored like any other log entry), and a count of the voice minutes you have used. The microphone is only active while the voice screen is open.

Scan photos are analysed, not kept. When you scan a meal, menu, nutrition label, barcode, your fridge, or a shopping receipt, the photo is sent to Google's Gemini service for analysis and is not stored by us — only the results you choose to save (a logged meal, a recipe, an ingredient list) are kept. Receipt scans are read for the food items you bought: we keep only those item names, in your own ingredient list. The receipt image itself is never stored, and payment details on it (such as a masked card number or the total) are never extracted or kept.

Device permissions (app version)

Each permission is requested the first time its feature is used, and every feature remains usable without the permissions it doesn't need.

Health Connect and Apple Health (optional, app version)

If you switch on Health Connect (Android) or Apple Health (iPhone) in Settings, Sated writes the weight, water, and protein you log into your phone's health hub so your other health apps can see them, and reads your daily step count to show it in the Move tab, plus body composition from a smart scale if you allow it. Each behind its own separate switch, it can also read your sleep, so last night sits beside the energy and appetite you record that day, and the days you have recorded a period, which it shades on your own charts so that a heavier week or a stalled scale can be read in context rather than as a failure.

Sleep and period are read only, and Sated never stores either one. They are read fresh from your phone's health hub each time you open a screen that shows them and are gone the moment you leave it. Sated never writes them, never saves them to our servers, and never sends them anywhere, so switching either one off ends it completely and leaves nothing behind. There is no way for Sated to write to your period data at all.

All of this works entirely through your phone's own health permissions — you choose exactly what to allow, metric by metric and direction by direction, can revoke access at any time in Health Connect's or Apple Health's own settings, and Sated never uses that data for advertising and never sells or shares it. If you leave the toggle off, Sated doesn't read or write it at all.

How we use your data

Your data is used solely to provide and personalise Sated's features:

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for advertising or marketing.

Third-party services

Data storage & security

Your data is stored securely in Google Cloud Firestore, protected by Firebase Security Rules that ensure only you can access your own data. All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest.

Data retention

Your data is retained for as long as your account exists. You may delete all your data at any time from the Profile tab. This permanently removes your account and all associated records.

Legacy anonymous trial accounts

Earlier versions of Sated allowed use without signing in via a temporary anonymous account. New anonymous accounts can no longer be created. Existing anonymous accounts continue to work and are automatically deleted after 30 days of inactivity. No email address is associated with anonymous accounts.

Your rights (GDPR / UK GDPR)

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, restrict its processing, and lodge a complaint with the ICO (UK) or your local supervisory authority.

Medical disclaimer

Sated is a wellness tracking tool, not a medical device. AI-generated content is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider before making changes to your medication, diet, or exercise routine.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Significant changes will be communicated within the app. Continued use of Sated after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
