Food Loops is an application created by Rubber Bands LLC ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our"). At Rubber Bands LLC, we design apps with the utmost respect for users' privacy. Great care is taken to ensure that no personally identifying information (PII) can be tied back to you. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data while providing a seamless and secure user experience. All usage of the app is strictly anonymous, and you build your own food database locally on your device.
By using Food Loops, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use Food Loops.
Food Loops is designed to operate without collecting personal identification information. You can use all core features anonymously, ensuring that your privacy is maintained at all times.
