Privacy policy
Updated November 8, 2026. This is the same policy you can read in the app.
The short version
Favlo keeps your family's food memories on your iPhone and in your own iCloud. It has no ads, doesn't track you, and doesn't sell anything about you. A little information goes to Favlo's server only for the AI features you choose to turn on.
On your phone and in your iCloud
Everyone's profiles, names, photos, ages, allergy notes, visits, ratings, notes, menus and receipts are stored on your iPhone and, when iCloud is on, in your private iCloud account. Favlo's developer can't see your iCloud data. Menu and receipt scanning and speech recognition run on your iPhone.
Sharing your family
If you share your family, the people you invite can see and change everything in it, through iCloud. You can stop sharing, or leave a family someone shared with you, anytime in Settings.
Your location
Favlo uses your location on your phone to suggest the restaurant you're at. If you turn on arrival alerts, iOS checks in the background whether you've arrived at a restaurant your family has been to, so Favlo can show what everyone likes there. Your location is never sent to Favlo's server or anyone else.
What AI features send
If you allow AI features, Favlo's server receives dish and restaurant names, reactions and notes, taste-profile answers, and what you say or type to the assistant. Names are replaced with labels like Person 1 first. The server passes this to Anthropic (Claude) to write recommendations, insights, stories and assistant replies. Assistant replies are sent to Amazon Web Services (Amazon Polly) to be read aloud, and these can include first names. To find a restaurant's menu online, the server receives the restaurant's name and address.
How long it's kept
Favlo's server doesn't keep your family's information. It does keep restaurant menus it finds online, which contain nothing about you, for up to six months, so they're ready for other families too. Its logs contain no family information and are deleted after a month. It keeps a random ID for your phone and monthly request counts, used only for usage limits, for about 70 days. Anthropic and Amazon handle data under their own policies, and Anthropic doesn't train its models on it.
Children
A parent adds children's profiles. Children's names, photos and ages stay on the phone and in the family's iCloud. Favlo isn't directed at children.
Your choices
Turn AI features, reminders and arrival alerts on or off anytime in Settings (the gear on the Family tab). There you can also export everything or erase it from this phone. To stop iCloud sync, turn off iCloud for Favlo in the iPhone Settings app.
