Privacy Notice

Published on August 5, 2026.

If you create an account on or after August 5, 2026, this Notice applies to you from the moment you accept them during sign-up.

If you created your account before August 5, 2026, this Notice will take effect on September 1, 2026. Until then, the previous version of the Notice will continue to apply.

You can see our previous Privacy Notice: https://www.formula.care/privacy-policy

We are committed to respecting your data privacy and providing transparency about our data practices. This Privacy Notice explains how Fjor Nutrition Inc. ("Company," "we," or "us") collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data through our mobile application (Formula App, referred to as the "App") and websites (including but not limited to https://formula.care, referred to as the "Website"), referred to together as the "Services".

This Notice was last reviewed on the date indicated above. We may modify or update it from time to time. Where a change may materially affect your privacy (for example, by introducing a new processing purpose, a new legal basis, or a new category of personal data), we will notify you in advance and, where required by applicable law, seek your prior consent. If you do not consent where consent is required, those changes will not apply to you, though this may affect your ability to use certain features of the Services.

By Personal Data we mean (i) information that is associated with an identified or identifiable natural person, and (ii) protected as personal data under applicable data protection laws.

IMPORTANT. Formula App is a general wellness application designed to support healthy dietary habits, exercises, and lifestyle choices. It is not a medical device, does not provide medical advice, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.

Formula App may collect information related to health conditions only where necessary to provide personalized dietary recommendations, educational content, and nutrition tracking, and only after obtaining your explicit consent.

Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before making changes to your diet, exercise, or health management plan, particularly if you have a diagnosed medical condition.

1. PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

We collect the following categories of personal data to provide and improve our services:

Personal data you provide to us:

  • General account details and Authentication Data: This includes your name, email address, and subscription details.
  • Preferences: Information you share with us about your product or content interests and your communication or marketing preferences.
  • Communication information: If you contact us, we collect your name, contact information, and the contents of your messages.
  • Health and well-being data: You may choose to provide details directly in the App or through web onboarding such as your weight, height, nutrition information, water consumption, medications and supplements you take, any medical history or diagnoses you choose to disclose. With your explicit consent, we may import data from third-party services like Apple HealthKit or other similar platforms, including sports activities, calories burnt, heart rate, number of steps/distance traveled, and other similar metrics.
  • Account photo: If you voluntarily upload a profile picture, we will store it as part of your account.
  • Demographic information: Data such as your age and gender.
  • Payment information: Your billing address and redacted payment details are collected during payment by our payment processor. We do not store full payment card details on our own systems.

Personal data we collect automatically:

  • Device information: This includes details about your device, such as its make, model, operating system, advertising identifiers, and similar technical data.
  • Log data: Information automatically sent by your browser or device, such as IP address, browser type, and date and time of your access.
  • Usage activity: Details about how you interact with our Services, such as your purchase history, content viewed, and areas of the Services you visited.
  • Inferred location: We infer your approximate location (country and city) from your IP address during web onboarding. Your billing address collected at payment may also indicate your location. We do not collect precise GPS-based location through the App.

Personal data from other sources

With your explicit consent, we may import health and fitness data from third-party platforms, such as Apple HealthKit and similar platforms. Such data will only be used to provide the App’s core functionality, and will not be shared with any advertising or marketing partners.

Separate consent for disclosed health conditions. If you disclose a health condition during onboarding (in the App or on the web), for example, high blood pressure, we seek your separate, explicit consent to process that health data under applicable health-data laws. You may withdraw this separate consent at any time through the App’s settings or by contacting us at support@formula.care.

Aggregated or De-identified Information

We may aggregate or de-identify personal data so that it can no longer identify you, and use it to analyze the effectiveness of our Services and improve features. Once de-identified, this information may be used without further notice to you. We do not conduct scientific research using identifiable end-user data.

2. HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND INFORMATION

  • a. Providing and improving the Services, such as to:
    • i. To operate, maintain, and improve the App and Website.
    • ii. To generate personalized meal plans, recipe recommendations, and nutritional insights based on your profile and health data.
    • iii. To develop new features and capabilities for the Services.
  • b. Communications with and notifications to you, such as to:
    • i. To respond to your inquiries and provide customer support.
    • ii. To send service-related communications, such as account confirmations, security alerts, and subscription updates.
    • iii. To send push notifications about the App. You may manage notification preferences through your device settings or by contacting us.
  • c. Marketing communications

We may use your email address associated with your account to send you marketing and promotional communications about our products, including product tips, promotional offers, and announcements of new features, where permitted by applicable law.

  • For users located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions requiring opt-in consent for electronic marketing, we will send such communications only where you have provided your explicit consent, in accordance with applicable data protection and ePrivacy laws.
  • For users located outside the EEA and the UK, including the United States, we may send marketing communications based on our legitimate interests, where permitted by applicable law.

You can opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in our messages or by contacting us at support@formula.care. Such withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of communications sent before your withdrawal.

If you opt out of marketing communications, you will be removed from our marketing communications list. However, this will not affect your receipt of non-marketing, service-related or transactional emails, which are necessary for account administration and your use of the App.

  • d. Analytics and performance, such as to:
    • i. To measure usage trends, feature engagement, and the overall performance of the Services.
    • ii. To understand how users interact with the Services in order to improve the user experience.
  • e. Marketing campaigns measurement

We partner with advertising platforms to measure the performance of our marketing campaigns and reach new users. We use device identifiers and usage data (but never health or wellness data!) for marketing measurement and targeting. See Section 8 for information about opting out of marketing-related data sharing.

  • f. Security and Legal Compliance, such as to:
    • i. To protect the rights, privacy, safety, and property of our users and the Company.
    • ii. To prevent misuse of the Services and maintain the security and integrity of our systems.
    • iii. To comply with legal obligations, including verifying eligibility to use the Services.
  • g. AI-assisted processing. Some features of the Services may be generated using automated and AI-based processing of your profile and health and wellness data. These outputs are informational and do not produce legal or similarly significant effects. We do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing (see "Automated Decision-Making" under the Your Privacy Rights section). You can find more about the nature and limitations of these AI-generated recommendations in our Terms & Conditions.

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom (UK), we identify a legal basis for each processing activity under the GDPR and the UK GDPR as follows:

Processing ActivityLegal Basis

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time through the App's settings or by contacting us at support@formula.care. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

4. SHARING YOUR PERSONAL DATA AND INFORMATION

4.1 Data Processors

We share personal data with the following third-party service providers who process data on our behalf and under our instructions (also referred to as “Data Processors”). All Data Processors are bound by data processing agreements in place and are required to implement appropriate security measures.

We use Data Processors that assist us in the following categories of activities:

  • Infrastructure and data storage
  • Subscription payment processing and payment gateway
  • Communications management
  • Analytics
  • Marketing tag management, marketing campaigns measurement

Important: We do not share health or wellness data (weight, height, nutrition data, HealthKit data, or similar) with analytics or marketing partners under any circumstances.

4.2 Other disclosures

We may disclose your personal data:

  • a. as required by law, court order, or any other legal obligation, such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process.
  • b. when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
  • c. if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our Website of any change in ownership or uses of your personal information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your personal information.

5. DATA RETENTION

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or until you request its deletion. There is no fixed deletion timeline imposed on active accounts: your personal data remains available for the full lifecycle of your use of the Services.

When a deletion is requested, or you delete your account through the App's settings:

  • Deletion from our primary database is immediate.
  • We maintain encrypted daily backups that are automatically purged after seven (7) days. Deleted data may therefore persist in backup copies for up to seven days before being fully removed.
  • Certain data may be retained for longer periods where required or permitted by law: for example, transaction and billing records for tax, accounting, or dispute resolution purposes (typically up to seven years, or as required by applicable law).

If you are unable to delete your data using the in-app settings, please contact us at support@formula.care. We will process your request promptly, including by sending you a direct deletion link, all in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Requests to our Data Processors for deletion of data held by those providers will be made where and as required by applicable law.

6. DATA STORAGE AND CROSS-BORDER DATA TRANSFERS

Our primary servers are located in the United States (“U.S.”). Your personal data may be transferred to, processed, and stored in the U.S., where it is governed by U.S. law.

For users in the EEA and UK, we ensure that any transfer of personal data to third countries is subject to appropriate safeguards under the GDPR and the UK GDPR:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): Where we transfer personal data from the EEA, we rely on SCCs approved by the European Commission (Commission Decision 2021/914 or successor decisions). For UK transfers, we use the UK Addendum to the SCCs or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA).
  • EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF): Where applicable, we may rely on the EU-US DPF, the UK Extension to the DPF, or the Swiss-US DPF as recognized frameworks for transatlantic transfers.
  • Additional Safeguards: We implement supplementary technical measures, including encryption in transit and at rest, where necessary to maintain an essentially equivalent level of protection.

GPC signals operate at the browser level and must be enabled separately for each browser you use. Learn more at globalprivacycontrol.org.

9.8 Washington My Health MY Data Act (WA MGMDA)

If you are a Washington State resident, additional rights apply to you under the Washington My Health MY Data Act (“MHMDA”), which applies to "consumer health data", broadly defined to include personal information that identifies your past, present, or future physical or mental health status.
