LowCalFoodie ("we", "us", or "our") is a free website that provides low calorie recipes, meal planning tools, and nutrition information. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.

This data is anonymized and aggregated. We cannot identify individual users from this data.

Your Data in Our Tools
All interactive tools on LowCalFoodie — including the Calorie Gap Calculator, Meal Plan Generator, and Meal Prep Planner — process data entirely in your browser. The information you enter (age, weight, ingredients, etc.) is never sent to our servers or stored. If you close your browser, the data is lost.
Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
Your Rights
Under GDPR (EU) and CCPA (California), you have the right to:
- Know what personal data is being collected
