Effective November 12, 2026. Applies to the Keema iPhone app, published by SinaShifa Partners, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company (“SinaShifa”, “we”).
We don’t want your data! We have nowhere to put it: no account, no server of ours. We can’t see your food, your weight or your goals, so we can’t sell them, share them, lose them in a breach, or hand them to anyone who asks. The only thing the app sends us is a few usage counts a day (which features were used, never your log, goals, or anything about you), and only if you say yes.
Your log lives on your phone. While iCloud backup is on, which it is unless you turn it off, an encrypted copy also goes to your own iCloud.
A few features use the internet (such as specific food searches), and each sends only what it needs. The app keeps a record of every request it makes so you can read it for yourself. Check-ins with Apple for your iCloud backup, Apple’s App Store and age checks aren’t in the record, and nothing from your log goes with them.
When you set up Keema, it asks whether it may send usage counts: a few numbers a day about which features were used, never what you ate. You can turn them off at any time.
There is no advertising and no tracking.
Everything you enter: foods, meals, water, weight, goals, reminders, and any foods or recipes you add. It lives in one file on your iPhone, which you can see in the Files app under On My iPhone → Keema.
A photo of a nutrition label is read on the phone and never uploaded. A photo of your food is sent to Apple’s online AI to be named and estimated (below) and is not kept once the food is logged. What you say to the Speak button is turned into text on the phone, and your voice is never sent anywhere. The words then go where typed words go (below). A key you add is kept in the iOS keychain.
If you’re signed in to iCloud, each entry is saved to your own iCloud as you log it, encrypted on your iPhone first. A new phone, or Keema installed again, can bring your log back. The copy is in your iCloud account, not on our servers, and we can’t read it. Apple holds the keys unless you turn on Advanced Data Protection in your Apple Account. It counts toward your iCloud storage; a year of logging is a few megabytes.
It saves your foods, meals, water, weigh-ins, body fat, saved meals, goals and planned food. Weigh-ins Keema read from Apple Health, and anything else read from Health, stay on your phone. So do your key and the record of what has been sent.
It is on by default. Turn it off in Settings → Data backup/exports. That stops new saving. What is already in iCloud stays there until you delete it (see Your choices).
Your phone can also save a backup of your whole log once a week to a folder you pick in Settings → Data backup/exports. Where the backup goes depends on the folder: on this iPhone it goes with the phone if the phone is lost, in iCloud Drive it is in your own iCloud, and in another service’s folder, such as Google Drive or Dropbox, it is under that company’s own privacy terms. We never see it. Your phone keeps the newest five and touches nothing else in the folder. The backup leaves out anything read from Apple Health.
Settings → Data backup/exports → Export a backup writes one file of your log as it is now, for Files, iCloud Drive or an email to yourself. It doesn’t change after that, and we never see it.
Only these, and only when you use the feature:
Every request above is recorded, with the exact text, under Settings → Privacy → See what has been sent. The one exception is check-ins with Apple for your iCloud backup, and nothing from your log goes with them. The record is kept 30 days and left out of your phone’s backup.
iCloud keeps your copy under your Apple Account. Apple’s online AI counts your requests against your Apple Account for its daily limit. An AI company you use under your own key knows the key is yours. Apart from those, none of these is told who you are. They see your IP address, as any website does. Crash reports reach us only through Apple, and only if you chose “Share with App Developers” in iOS Settings.
Subscribing goes through Apple. Apple takes the payment and tells the app only whether a subscription is current; the app never sees your card or learns who you are. It isn’t in the list above because the app itself never sends it.
You have the option to opt in to sharing information about how you use Keema. If you say yes, once a day the app sends a short list of counts: how many foods were logged and by which route, how often each feature was used, whether you hit an error, the app and iOS version, and whether your iPhone can use Apple’s online AI. These counts never include any part of your log: the food you entered, your calories, macros, weight and goals are never in them.
The counts go to TelemetryDeck (https://telemetrydeck.com/privacy/) with a random code that your phone changes daily, so we can’t track any use from one day to the next. We have no way to identify whose counts they are. You can read every message that was sent in the request record. To change your usage count setting go to Usage counts in Settings → Privacy. Turning counting off deletes anything not yet sent.
Off unless you turn it on, in Settings → Apple Health; that is when iOS asks your permission. On, each food you log is written into Health as one food item with its calories and nutrients, and each weight you log is written as a weight. Editing or deleting an entry in Keema changes it in Health. Health keeps a switch for each kind under Apps → Keema, so you choose what can be written. When you turn it on, you’re offered once to send what you logged before; nothing goes unless you say so.
Read from Health:
Health data stays on the phone. It is not sent to us or to any provider, is not used for advertising, and is never placed in an iCloud store of ours. Turning it off in Health’s own settings stops the writing at once.
Keema is designed for adults 18 and older. It limits what it does for anyone it knows is under 18.
If Keema learns that you are under 13, it stops recording and sends no usage counts, and you can export what you logged before.
It asks no one for a name, an email address or an account. To know your age it uses only:
None of these leaves your phone.
None of them is told who you are, and none is paid for your data. Nutrition numbers on community entries are worth a glance before you trust them — the app marks which is which.
If the app’s network behavior changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top moves.
