The short version
  1. Not medical advice. The app tracks dietary cholesterol from food; it does not measure blood cholesterol or replace a doctor.
  2. Estimates need your review. Search results and scans can be wrong. Check values before you log them.
  3. Pro is billed by Apple or Google. Manage, cancel, or refund through your store account.
  4. Your data is yours. We only process what you send to return the result you asked for.
  5. Use it fairly. Don’t copy, resell, or bypass the app’s protections.

Section 01

The agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Abhinav Khanger (“we”, “us”) covering the Cholesterol Tracker apps for iPhone and Android (the “apps”) and the website at cholesteroltracker.app (the “site”; together, the “Service”). By installing or using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service.

Section 02

Not medical advice

Cholesterol Tracker is a food and nutrition logging tool. It tracks the dietary cholesterol in what you eat; it does not measure blood cholesterol and is not a medical device. Nothing in the Service is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for a physician, dietitian, or other qualified healthcare professional.

The default daily goal is a general starting point, not a personal recommendation. Always consult a healthcare professional before changing your diet, especially if you have a diagnosed condition or take medication. Never disregard professional advice because of something you read in the Service.

If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or local emergency services immediately.

Section 03

Nutrition data and estimates

Food search results come from third-party databases and may be incomplete, out of date, or differ from the product in your hand. Snap Food produces an estimate from a photo, and Snap Nutrition Label extracts values that may be misread. The app shows you every value before it is logged so you can correct it; you are responsible for reviewing and confirming what you save.

When precision matters, rely on the package label or a trusted food database rather than an estimate.

Section 04

Your license and acceptable use

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the apps on devices you own or control, subject to these Terms and the rules of the App Store or Google Play. You agree not to:

  • copy, modify, distribute, sell, or rent any part of the Service, or reverse-engineer it except where the law permits;
  • access the search or scan services other than through the apps, or attempt to bypass app-integrity checks;
  • send content you do not have the right to share, or content that is unlawful, harmful, or infringes others’ rights;
  • use automated tools to overload or scrape the Service, or interfere with its operation.

Section 05

Your content

You own the diary entries, foods, meals, and photos you create or submit. By submitting a photo or search text, you give us permission to process it solely to return the result you requested, as described in the Privacy Policy. We do not claim ownership of your content and do not use it for any other purpose.

Section 06

Pro purchases and subscriptions

Some features, such as online food search and nutrition-label scanning, require Cholesterol Tracker Pro. Pro is sold as an in-app purchase or subscription through Apple’s App Store or Google Play. The price, billing period, and any free trial are shown in the app before you confirm.

Billing and renewal

Subscriptions are charged to your App Store or Google Play account and renew automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your device’s subscription settings; deleting the app does not cancel it.

Refunds

Because Apple and Google process all payments, refunds are handled under their policies. Request one through the App Store or Google Play rather than from us. If you have trouble restoring a purchase, use Restore Purchases in Settings or contact us.

Changes to Pro

We may change which features are included in Pro or adjust pricing for future billing periods. Price changes will be communicated through the store and will not affect a period you have already paid for.

Section 07

Apple Health and Health Connect

Connecting Apple Health or Health Connect is optional. When you enable it, you authorize the app to write nutrition records for your diary entries and to read back the records it wrote so edits stay in sync. You are responsible for the data you choose to share, and you can revoke access at any time. Apple’s and Google’s terms govern the Health and Health Connect platforms themselves.

Section 08

Third-party services

The Service relies on third parties, including Apple, Google, RevenueCat, food-database providers, and image-analysis providers. We do not control these services and are not responsible for their availability, accuracy, or terms. Some features may be unavailable in certain regions or if a provider changes its service.

Section 09

Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, and the Cholesterol Tracker name and icon, is owned by Abhinav Khanger and protected by copyright and other laws. Apart from the license above, no rights are granted to you. Food data is provided under license from its respective owners.

Section 10

Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT NUTRITION VALUES WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPLETE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Section 11

Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ABHINAV KHANGER WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, HEALTH OUTCOMES, OR DIETARY DECISIONS MADE IN RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR USD 10 IF YOU PAID NOTHING. THESE LIMITS DO NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW.

Section 12

Termination

You can stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling the apps. We may suspend or end your access if you breach these Terms or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Your content, Intellectual property, Disclaimer of warranties, and Limitation of liability) will continue to apply.

Section 13

Additional terms for the App Store

If you obtained the app from Apple’s App Store: these Terms are between you and Abhinav Khanger, not Apple. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support, is not responsible for any product warranty, claim, or intellectual-property dispute relating to the app, and is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms with the right to enforce them against you. You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited parties.

Section 14

Changes, governing law, and contact

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. The effective date at the top shows the latest revision; continued use after a change means you accept the updated Terms. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Abhinav Khanger resides, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and any dispute will be brought in the courts of that jurisdiction unless applicable consumer law gives you the right to bring it elsewhere.
