Privacy Policy for Forkful: Dish Journal

Last updated: January 19, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Forkful: Dish Journal (“the App”) handles your information. The App is developed and published by CodeLotl1001 (“we”, “us”, or “our”).

Overview

Forkful: Dish Journal is a personal food journaling app that allows you to record restaurants, dishes, ratings, photos, and your own notes. All data is stored locally on your device. We do not operate any servers for this app, and we do not collect, transmit, or sell your personal data.

Information We Collect

The App does not collect any personal information that is transmitted to us or to third parties. All information you enter stays on your device.

Locally Stored Data

The App stores the following types of data locally on your device:

• Restaurant details (e.g., name, location, notes)
• Dish details (e.g., name, associated restaurant, cuisine, rating, notes)
• Photos you choose to attach to restaurants or dishes
• App settings and preferences (e.g., theme, sorting options, display options)

This data is saved using on-device storage. It is not automatically backed up or synced by the App to any external service.

Photos

When you choose to attach a photo to a restaurant or dish, the App accesses your device’s photo library with your permission. The selected photos (or references to them) are stored only on your device and are used solely within the App to display your own entries. They are not uploaded or shared with us or any third party.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not share any of your data with third parties. Specifically:

• No analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics) are used.
• No advertising networks (e.g., AdMob) are integrated.
• No crash reporting or tracking SDKs are used.
• No external APIs or cloud services are used to send or store your data.

Accounts and Authentication

The App does not require you to create an account or log in. We do not collect usernames, email addresses, passwords, or any other authentication information.

Children’s Privacy

The App is intended for general audiences and is not specifically targeted at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because we do not collect or transmit data to our own servers, we have no way to identify or contact individual users.

Data Security

Because all data is stored locally on your device, the security of your information depends largely on the security of your device itself (such as using a device passcode or biometric lock). We recommend that you:

• Use a strong screen lock on your device.
• Keep your operating system up to date.
• Be cautious when sharing your device with others.

If you lose your device or it is compromised, the data stored in the App may be accessible to others who have access to your device.

Data Deletion and Control

You are in control of the data stored in the App. You can:

• Delete individual restaurants or dishes from within the App.
• Use the in-app option to delete all stored data.
• Uninstall the App from your device, which will typically remove all App data stored locally.

International Users

The App does not transfer your data across borders or to any servers. All data remains on your device, regardless of your country of residence or use.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
