Privacy & Terms

Last updated: 1 June 2026 · Imprint

Note: This page is an English convenience summary. The legally binding version is the German privacy and terms page.

Privacy at a glance

Gutora can be used in its basic mode without entering personal data. For optional account-based features such as cloud sync, certain data is required. All data transfer between the app and our servers is encrypted via TLS (HTTPS). Local user data is stored in an encrypted app database on your device. Exports are either unencrypted or password-protected, depending on your choice.

Data we may process

Regular personal data

  • Name (can be a pseudonym)
  • Email address (for support and account creation)
  • Message content (for support requests)

Special categories (sensitive data, Art. 9 GDPR)

You may voluntarily provide sensitive data:

  • Dietary preferences or food choices
  • Diary entries: food logs, notes, bowel movement tracking, weight, height, and weight goals

These categories have a higher level of protection under GDPR.

Purpose and legal basis

Regular data is processed to fulfil or prepare a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and to safeguard legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), including app security, claims management, and service improvement.

Sensitive data is processed only with your explicit consent (Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time.

Data stored locally on your device is protected by device-level mechanisms and an encrypted app database. If you create an account and explicitly confirm cloud processing, your data is backed up on our server (EU location, data processing agreement in place).

Data retention

Data is kept only as long as necessary to fulfil contractual or legal obligations. Cloud accounts and their data may be deleted after 36 months of inactivity.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, transfer, restrict, block, or delete your personal data where applicable.
Local data can be deleted or exported directly in the app. If you use cloud sync, you can also delete your cloud account and all associated cloud data from within the app.

Contact for privacy requests: dsgv@panthera.cc

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR).

Optional usage analytics

If you explicitly enable it in the app, Gutora collects pseudonymous usage analytics for selected app areas to better understand feature usage and improve the app. This is limited to events such as screen opens, meal saves, and openings of selected feature areas, along with technical metadata (pseudonymous app ID, platform, app version, language, login/PRO status).

Meal names, diary notes, weight values, search terms, and email addresses are never transmitted as analytics events. Legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw in the app at any time.

No ads

No advertising is shown in the app or on this website.

With your explicit consent, this website uses the TikTok Pixel (Pixel ID D8TPUA3C77U7745HE5UG), provided by TikTok Technology Limited, Ireland. It helps us measure website visits and advertising performance. TikTok may receive data such as your IP address, device and browser information, visited pages, timestamps, and interactions, and may combine it with other data.

The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. The pixel is not loaded before consent. You can change your choice at any time through “Cookie settings” in the footer.

Processors (Art. 28 GDPR)

  • Supabase (cloud database and authentication)
  • RevenueCat (subscription status; may process device ID, purchase history, and IP address)
  • Brevo (email delivery)
  • checkdomain.de (domain/hosting)

Terms overview

Content you enter in Gutora (diary entries, weight, settings) is used exclusively to provide, store, sync, analyse, and export app features. We do not publish your content.

Food data is sourced from the Austrian Food Composition Database (BLS 4.0) and own research. All values are indicative. The app does not replace medical or dietetic advice.

The app is free to use with optional paid features (PRO). Prices are shown in the app's purchase dialogue. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled. Billing is handled by Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

Applicable law is Austrian law. Jurisdiction is Innsbruck, Austria, to the extent permitted.
