Privacy Policy — Next Bite

Last updated: 30 August 2026

Next Bite ("the app") is a household meal planner published by Starworks. This policy explains what the app collects, why, and how to get it deleted. We do not sell your data, we do not show ads, and we do not use analytics or advertising SDKs.

What we collect

Account information. If you sign in with Google, we store your Google account's email address, display name and a Firebase user ID. If you continue as a guest, we store only an anonymous Firebase user ID — no email, no name.

Your meal-planning content. The foods and categories you add, the plans ("households") you create or join, the plan names, the invite codes, and the meals you schedule on the calendar.

Nothing else. The app does not collect your location, contacts, photos, device identifiers for advertising, health data, or payment information. It contains no analytics, no crash-reporting SDK and no advertising SDK.

Why we collect it

Where it is stored

Data is stored in Google Cloud Firestore, part of Google Firebase, on Google's servers in the United States. It is encrypted in transit. A copy is cached on your own device so the app works offline; that copy is removed when you sign out or uninstall.

We use these Google services: Firebase Authentication (sign-in), Cloud Firestore (storage), and Cloud Functions (joining and leaving plans, deleting accounts). Their handling of data is covered by the Google Privacy Policy.

Fonts are downloaded from Google Fonts the first time the app runs, which discloses your IP address to Google in the same way as visiting a website does.

Notifications

The app can show a daily reminder naming tomorrow's planned meals. These are generated and scheduled on your device; the reminder text is never sent to a server. Notifications need your permission and can be turned off at any time in the app's Settings or in your system settings.

How long we keep it

Your data is kept for as long as your account exists. Deleting your account removes it, as described below. If you leave a plan, your membership and your name are removed from it; foods and meals you added remain in the plan for the remaining members, since the plan belongs to the household rather than to you. If you were the plan's only member, the whole plan is deleted with you.

Deleting your account and data

In the app: open Settings and tap Delete account. This permanently and immediately removes your account, your profile, and every plan in which you are the only member; you are removed from every other plan. It cannot be undone.

By email: if you can no longer open the app, write to the address below from the email address on the account and ask for deletion. We will complete the request within 30 days.

Children

Next Bite is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, and to object to its processing. Deleting your account (above) satisfies the deletion right immediately. For anything else, contact us.

Changes

If this policy changes materially we will update the date at the top and, where the change is significant, note it in the app.
