Fuel Vault

Privacy Policy

Effective November 10, 2026

Overview

Fuel Vault is an adaptive calorie and nutrition tracker for iPhone, published by Raul Fregoso. It pairs with Weight Vault. We do not operate user accounts, and we do not collect personal data on our servers.

What we do not do

Fuel Vault has no account, no analytics, no ads, and no third-party SDKs. We do not sell data. HealthKit data is never sold, used for ads, shared, or stored on any server. There is no microphone use and no AI.

Information stored on your device

Data stays on-device, stored with SwiftData in an App Group (group.com.fregosocapital.fuelvault):

• Food entries
• Saved foods
• Weight entries
• Measurements
• Progress photos
• Birth year
• A pregnancy toggle
• Settings

Progress photos stay on the device, or in your iCloud if you turn sync on.

The app asks for your birth year and has a pregnancy toggle. Both are stored on the device only and are used only for calorie estimates.

Optional iCloud sync

Optional iCloud sync uses CloudKit. It is off by default. When you turn it on, data syncs through your own iCloud account.

Apple Health

HealthKit is optional and off by default. If you allow it, Fuel Vault can read body mass and height, and can optionally write dietary energy and protein, carbs, and fat. HealthKit data is never sold, used for ads, shared, or stored on any server. You can change these permissions in the Health app under Sharing, then Apps, then Fuel Vault.

Barcode lookups (coming)

Open Food Facts is a third-party service. When barcode scanning is available, lookups send only the barcode number to Open Food Facts (world.openfoodfacts.org), using the User-Agent FuelVault/1.0 (support@fregosocapital.com). Results are cached on-device. Open Food Facts data is available under the Open Database License (ODbL). Product images from Open Food Facts are available under CC BY-SA. The camera is used for barcode scanning.

Notifications

Fuel Vault may use local notifications for reminders.

Purchases

Purchases are processed by Apple. We do not receive payment information.

Deleting the app

Deleting the app removes its data from the device. Data previously synced to iCloud, if you turned that option on, remains in your iCloud account until you delete it there.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will post the update on this page.

Children

Fuel Vault is not directed to children under 13.
