Terms of use

Last updated: September 7, 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and GoodFat for use of the GoodFat app and website. By using GoodFat, you agree to them.

1. What GoodFat is

GoodFat helps you notice fat quality and inflammatory load in meals you log — through scans, barcodes, and chat. It is a personal education and awareness tool.

2. Inflammatory score — read this

GoodFat’s inflammatory score is educational and entirely experimental.

  • It is inspired by real nutrition research on fats, processing, and inflammation markers.
  • It is not a validated clinical score, medical device, diagnosis, or treatment.
  • It has not been proven in peer-reviewed trials as a measure of your personal health risk.
  • Green / amber / red bands and number changes are for awareness and habit support only.

Do not use the score to change medicines, diagnose disease, or replace advice from a licensed clinician. If you have a health condition, talk to a professional you trust.

3. Not medical advice

Nothing in GoodFat — including chat replies, “better option” suggestions, omega estimates, NOVA labels, or scores — is medical, dietary, or clinical advice. Food swaps are ideas, not prescriptions.

4. Your account and responsibilities

  • You must be old enough to use the app where you live (at least 13 in the U.S.).
  • You are responsible for what you log and for decisions you make from the app.
  • You agree not to misuse the service (for example, trying to break security, overload AI endpoints, or harm others).
  • Anonymous sessions may be created so chat and logging can work without an email. You can delete your account in Settings.

5. Photos and scanning

You may take or upload food photos and scan barcodes. You confirm you have the right to use those images. GoodFat uses photos to help identify food and does not save them as a photo library. See our Privacy policy.

6. Data sources and estimates

Nutrition and score estimates may come from:

  • Our on-device US food pack (drawing on public sources such as USDA and Open Food Facts)
  • Your confirmed grams and entries
  • AI estimates (Google Gemini) when the pack is missing details

Catalogs and AI can be wrong or incomplete. Always use judgment with packaged labels and your own knowledge of what you ate.

7. Subscriptions and Superwall

Some features may require a paid subscription. On native builds, GoodFat uses Superwall to present the paywall. Purchases are handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play (and related billing partners such as RevenueCat when connected).

  • Prices and terms are shown before you buy.
  • Renewals and cancellations follow App Store / Play Store rules.
  • Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies.

8. Acceptable use of AI features

Ask/Chat is for food and fat-quality questions related to your logging. Do not use it for emergencies, self-harm, or medical diagnosis. AI replies can be wrong.

9. Intellectual property

GoodFat’s name, logo, app design, and original content belong to us or our licensors. Public food databases remain subject to their own licenses and attribution rules. You keep rights to content you create (such as your log entries), and you grant us a limited license to process that content to run the service.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

GoodFat is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant that scores, food IDs, or suggestions will be accurate, complete, or fit for a particular purpose.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, GoodFat and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss related to reliance on the inflammatory score, chat advice, or nutrition estimates. Our total liability for any claim about the service is limited to the greater of (a) amounts you paid us for the app in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) USD $50.

Some places do not allow these limits; in those places, limits apply only as allowed.

12. Ending use

You may stop using GoodFat anytime and delete your account in Settings. We may suspend or stop the service or your access if you break these terms or if we shut the product down.

13. Changes

We may update these terms. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use after updates means you accept the new terms.
