Adra · Privacy
Your food data stays on your phone.
Adra's privacy is not a policy page. It is the architecture. Here is exactly what happens to your data, and what does not.
What never leaves your phone
- Every photo you take and every meal you log.
- Your full diary, corrections, and favorites.
- Your targets, your notes, and your history.
None of it is uploaded. None of it is synced. There is no server that holds a copy of your food life.
Data, item by item
| What | Where it lives | Ever sent? |
|---|---|---|
| Meal photos | Phone storage | Never |
| Diary entries and corrections | On-device database | Never |
| Goals and settings | On-device database | Never |
| Barcode scans | Phone | The barcode number only, for products the local catalog does not know |
That one request is simple enough to write down completely.

A barcode number goes out. Nothing you photographed does.
How an app can work this way
Photo recognition runs on the phone's own chip, using models that ship inside the app. The food catalog travels with you too. 247,065 foods, searchable offline with no connection at all.
That is why airplane mode changes nothing. There is nothing to reach for, because everything is already there.
The one online moment
Barcode lookups are the single exception, and they are optional. When you scan a packaged food that is not already in the local catalog, the app asks Open Food Facts, a public food database, for that barcode number.
The request carries the barcode number. Your photos are not part of it, and neither is your diary. Skip packaged foods and the app never touches the network.
The proof, in Google's own words
Google Play requires every developer to declare what an app collects and shares. Adra's data safety label says:
"No data collected." and "No data shared with third parties."
Those words come from the developer and they are shown on the store page. You can read them yourself on the Play listing.
No account, nothing to leak
There is no login to steal and no company database to breach, because neither exists. Adra has no accounts at all. Your diary is stored on the phone, in the same private storage as the rest of your apps.
Backups are a zip file you export and keep, photos included. Move to a new phone by restoring that file. There is no cloud account involved, and nothing depends on a server staying alive.
Delete the app and it takes the diary with it. Your phone's own backup settings apply, as they do for any app.
This site practices the same thing
No cookies. No analytics. No third-party requests. This page loads only from this domain, and there is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.
Food logs are personal. They reveal health, habits, and beliefs. Adra treats them the way they deserve, and the site does the same. More detail lives in the privacy policy.
FAQ
Does Adra collect any data at all?
Its Google Play data safety label says No data collected and No data shared with third parties. The only network request is an optional barcode lookup, and it carries just the barcode number.
What happens to my diary if I lose my phone?
Restore your backup file on the new phone. The export includes your photos. There is no cloud copy to recover from, which is the whole idea.
Can I use Adra completely offline?
Yes. Photo recognition, logging, and history are offline. Barcode lookups need a connection only when a product is not already in the local catalog.
