Makra is a nutrition app for runners. This policy explains what the app stores, where it is kept, who else is involved, and how to delete it. In short: we keep a copy of what you log so it survives a lost phone, and nothing about you is ever sold, advertised against, or shared for marketing.
To work out your daily targets, Makra needs to know some things about you: your date of birth, sex, height, weight, everyday activity level, your typical easy running pace, and the units you prefer. As you use the app you add more – the runs you log, the food you log, meals you plan for a future day, and meals you save as favourites.
All of it is used for one purpose: calculating your daily calorie and macronutrient targets and showing your own history back to you. Those calculations happen on your device, by rules, not by a service somewhere else.
Makra requires an account, created with Sign in with Apple. It is the only way to sign in, and it is what your data is attached to – without it, a new or replaced phone would mean starting over.
If you use Apple's Hide My Email, Makra only ever receives the relay address Apple generates. We never see your real email address, and the app does not email you.
Your profile, food logs, runs, planned meals, favourites and consent record are stored in Makra's database, hosted by Supabase in the United Kingdom. Encrypted copies of that database are taken nightly and deleted after 14 days.
This exists so your information survives a lost, broken or replaced phone – not so that anyone can look at it. Access is restricted to the account it belongs to.
Makra is a paid app. Subscriptions are sold and processed by Apple through your App Store account. Makra never sees your card details, billing address or payment information – Apple does not share them with us.
We use RevenueCat to keep track of whether a subscription is active, so the app knows to let you in on a new device. RevenueCat receives your Makra account identifier and the status of your subscription. It does not receive anything you log.
When the app crashes or hits an error, an automatic report is sent to Sentry so it can be fixed. These contain technical detail only – device model, iOS version, app version, and where in the code the failure happened. They are stripped of anything identifying you, and never include your profile, your food logs, your runs or your location.
Two options live in Settings, and they do different things:
You can export a readable copy of your data first, from the same screen. Deleting the app from your phone removes the local copy but does not delete the account – use "Delete account & all data" for that.
Cancelling a subscription is separate and is handled by Apple, in your App Store account settings. Cancelling does not delete your data.
If you have iCloud Backup or another device backup enabled, your device may include Makra's on-device data in your own encrypted backup. That backup is controlled by you and your device platform, not by Makra.
Makra is intended for adults aged 18 and over and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
Makra provides general nutrition and fitness guidance for educational purposes only. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before making changes to your diet or exercise routine.
We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected here and in the in-app Privacy & Data screen, and the date at the top will change.
