Privacy Policy
Effective: June 18, 2026
Phebe Corporation, a North Carolina nonprofit corporation (“Phebe,” “we,” “us”), operates the website at phebe.life (the “Site”) and the Phebe mobile application (the “App”). The Site and the App together are our “Services.” This policy explains what information we collect through the Services and how we use it.
Phebe is intended for adults 18 years of age and older.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us.
- Email address, when you join our waitlist or contact us.
- Account information, when you create an App account, such as your name, email address, and a password (which we store only in hashed form).
- Profile and preferences, such as your display name, your confirmation that you are 18 or older, your preferred phe unit, your daily phe budget, and notification settings.
- Food and nutrition entries you log in the App, such as the foods you record, portion or weight, estimated phenylalanine and other nutrition values, the time of the entry, and any notes you add.
- Photos you choose to scan. When you use the label or photo estimator, the image is sent to our processor only to read it and produce an estimate. We do not retain the image after the estimate is returned.
Information we collect automatically.
- Usage data: privacy-friendly, aggregate analytics about how the Services are used. Our analytics are cookieless and are not used to identify you.
- Technical data: standard server and device information, such as IP address, browser or device type, and log data, used to operate and secure the Services.
- Kitchen scale data: if you connect a compatible Bluetooth kitchen scale, weight readings are sent directly to your device and are saved only as the portion on an entry you choose to log.
2. How we use information
- To add you to the waitlist and contact you about Phebe early access and updates.
- To create and operate your account and provide the App.
- To calculate phe and nutrition estimates and keep your diary and daily budget.
- To send account email, such as verification and password resets.
- To operate, secure, support, and improve the Services.
- To comply with law and protect the rights and safety of our users and Phebe.
We do not sell or rent your information, and we do not share it for advertising.
3. Artificial intelligence
The App uses an AI service to read the photos and labels you choose to scan. The AI suggests a likely match, and Phebe computes the phe and nutrition values from trusted food data. Images are processed only to return your estimate, are not used to train AI models, and are not retained after the estimate is returned. Estimates are approximate.
4. Service providers
We use a small number of trusted providers that process data on our behalf, under agreements that limit their use of it:
- MailerLite manages waitlist signups and our email communications.
- Vercel hosts the Site and provides cookieless, privacy-friendly analytics.
- Cloudflare hosts the App backend and stores App data.
- Neon provides the database for App data.
- Resend delivers account email such as verification and password resets.
- Anthropic provides the AI service that reads the photos and labels you scan.
- Apple and Google distribute the App through their app stores.
5. Cookies
We use only minimal, essential cookies needed to run the Services. Our analytics are cookieless, and we do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
6. Data retention
- We keep waitlist information until you ask us to remove it or it is no longer needed.
- We keep your account and the entries you log until you delete them or close your account.
- We delete the photos you scan immediately after the estimate is returned.
- We keep technical logs for a limited period to operate and secure the Services.
7. Your choices and rights
- Unsubscribe from email at any time using the link in our emails, or by emailing info@phebe.life.
- Access, correct, export, or delete your information. You can delete your account and data from within the App, or by emailing info@phebe.life.
- Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, other US state privacy laws, the EU and UK GDPR, and applicable health-data laws. We honor these rights and do not discriminate against you for exercising them.
8. International users
The Services are available internationally. If you use them from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have rights under the EU and UK GDPR, including the rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, and port your data, and to object to certain processing. Our legal bases for processing are your consent, the performance of our agreement with you, and our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Services. You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. Our representative for these matters is [EU and UK representative to be appointed]; until one is designated you may reach us at info@phebe.life.
9. Children
The Services are intended for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit, hashed passwords, and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work hard to keep your data safe.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above reflects the latest version. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the Services.
