Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 28, 2026
Summary
Fuel is a personal wellness and tracking app operated by Cody Jo Method. We do not sell personal data.
Fuel now runs on Bunny.net infrastructure with Bunny Database, and transactional email is delivered through Postal on infrastructure we operate on Google Cloud Platform. This migration was intended to simplify the stack and improve privacy posture.
Data we collect
- Account data such as name, email address, hashed password, privacy-policy acknowledgement timestamp, and account security state.
- Health and wellness data you choose to add, such as food logs, water intake, medication records, body scan entries, wellness check-ins, goals, settings, and journal entries.
- Technical and security data such as rate-limit events, operational logs, and device or browser information needed to keep the service working safely.
How and where data is processed
Application hosting, API runtime, and database services are provided through Bunny.net, including Bunny Magic Containers and Bunny Database. Depending on the service path, technical delivery and logs may be processed through Bunny.net edge infrastructure in additional countries.
We use HTTPS in transit and provider-managed encryption at rest for the application and database layers. Fuel is not marketed as a HIPAA-regulated service.
Legal bases and sensitive data
We use your account data to provide the service you requested, secure the app, and respond to support requests.
Fuel can involve health-related data. When you create an account, you explicitly confirm that you are at least 16 years old and explicitly consent to our processing of the health and wellness data you choose to enter so Fuel can provide the features you requested.
If you are in a jurisdiction that gives you a right to withdraw that consent, you can contact us or delete your account and we will stop future processing except where retention is legally required.
Third parties and AI
Anthropic: when you use AI features such as food estimation or generated summaries, we send only the prompt or summary data needed for that request.
USDA FoodData Central: food search text is proxied to the USDA search service.
Postal on GCP: your email address is used to send account verification and password reset messages. Health and wellness entries are not included in those emails.
Plausible Analytics: Fuel uses cookieless aggregate analytics. We do not intentionally send health entries, names, or email addresses to analytics.
Analytics and logs
Fuel uses Plausible Analytics in a cookieless configuration for aggregate product usage reporting.
Operational and security logs are generally retained for about 30 days unless a longer period is needed for security review, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.
Retention, export, and deletion
Your account data remains until you delete it or ask us to delete it. You can export your data and delete your account from the app where those features are available.
When you delete your account, we aim to remove associated health and account data from the active service, subject to short-lived backups, logs, and legal retention obligations.
Age requirement
You must be at least 16 years old to create a Fuel account. We do not ask for your birth date during registration. Instead, registration requires an explicit age confirmation.
If we learn that someone under 16 created an account, we will review and delete the account where required.
Your rights and contact
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and to lodge a complaint with your regulator.
