Gatherd is built and operated by Lean Edge Consulting, LLC. We believe the less data we hold about you, the better — and you should know exactly what we do collect, why, and how to get rid of it. This page is the plain-English version. Eat one entree, not the whole buffet.
What we collect
- Account basics: the email + password you sign up with.
- What you log: meals, purchases, exercise, water, sleep, supplements, measurements, habits — everything you type or speak into the app.
- Phone number (optional): if you add one for text reminders, we store it and send texts through Twilio.
- Apple Health data (iPhone app, optional): only if you connect Apple Health, we read your steps, workouts and sleep, and write the water you log back to Health. You can turn this off anytime in the iPhone Settings app.
- Family members you add: names and, for kids, an optional birthdate and school, so the family calendar, lists and chores work.
- Photos you submit: if you snap or attach a meal photo, we send it to our AI provider (Anthropic) for calorie estimation. We don't store the image after the estimate comes back.
- Light usage analytics: first-party event records (e.g. "logged a meal", "viewed health page") so we can see what's working. No third-party trackers, no ad pixels.
- Subscription state (when applicable): Stripe customer + subscription IDs to manage billing.
What we do NOT collect
- We do not sell your data. Ever.
- We do not load Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or other third-party tracking.
- We do not share your data with advertisers.
- We do not read your photos beyond sending each one to the AI for estimation in the moment.
- We never use Apple Health data for advertising or marketing, never sell it, and never share it with anyone except the providers below that run the app.
How we use it
- To run the app — show your dashboard, compute totals, suggest goals.
- To improve the product — aggregated patterns help us see what features matter.
- To process payments via Stripe (if you subscribe).
- To send transactional email (login confirmations, updates on ideas you submit) via Resend.
- To send occasional product news and check-ins if you haven't logged in a while, by email (Resend) or, if you added a phone number, by text (Twilio). Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can reply STOP to any text.
- On iPhone, to send the daily reminder you turn on in Settings.
Data retention
- Account + log data: retained as long as your account is active.
- Meal photos: sent to the AI provider for parsing, then discarded. Not stored in our database.
- Account deletion: when you delete your account, your profile, logs, measurements, supplements and other records are deleted right away, and any active subscription is canceled. Stripe retains transaction records as required by tax law. Calorie estimates from the free estimator page are kept without any link to you.
- Backups: our database has rolling 7-day backups. Deleted data is fully purged from those within 30 days.
Your rights
- Export: email shana@lessyoumoreprofit.com and we'll send a CSV of everything we have on you within 7 days.
- Delete: go to Settings → Plan → Delete account to delete your account and data yourself, or email us and we'll do it within 7 days.
- Correct: edit anything inline in the app, or email us if something's wrong we can't fix.
Where data lives
Our database is hosted by Supabase (US region). The app runs on Vercel. AI calls go to Anthropic. Email is sent through Resend and texts through Twilio. Payments are processed by Stripe. All six providers are SOC 2 compliant.
Children
Gatherd isn't for users under 13. If you're a parent and learn your child has signed up, email us and we'll delete the account.
Changes
We'll post material changes to this page and email active users at least 14 days before the change takes effect.
