Security & Privacy

Your nutrition data is yours

PlateBeacon is built with privacy at its core. Strict access controls, private storage, and full control over your data.

How we protect your data

Privacy by design

Multiple layers of protection keep your nutrition data secure.

Row-Level Security (RLS)

Every database table is protected with row-level security policies. Users can only access their own data—never anyone else's.

Private image storage

Meal photos are stored in private buckets, not public ones. Your food photos are never visible to anyone but you.

Signed URLs

When you view your photos, access is granted through time-limited signed URLs that expire automatically.

No public sharing

Your nutrition data and meal photos are never shared publicly or made accessible to other users.

Your data, your control

Export or delete anytime

You are always in control of your nutrition data. Export it or delete it—no lock-in.

Export your data

Download your meal history, nutrition data, and photos at any time from your account settings.

Delete your data

You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time. This action is irreversible.
