Privacy Policy
Effective date: 26 April 2026 · Last updated: 30 October 2026
This privacy policy applies to the Little Bites mobile app ("the app") and the website juliascott.co.nz, both operated by Julia Scott ("we", "us", "our").
The short version
The Little Bites app does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information about you or your child. Everything you log (foods, photos, reactions, notes) stays on your device.
What the app stores on your device
When you use Little Bites, the following information is saved locally on your device and is never sent to us or any third party:
- Food log entries (foods tried, dates, reactions, symptoms, notes)
- Photos you attach to meals
- Custom foods and meals you create
- Settings, preferences, and your child's start date
- Course progress
This data lives in the app's private storage on your device. Deleting the app removes it permanently. We have no way to access, recover, or back it up for you.
What the app does not do
- No analytics or tracking SDKs
- No crash reporting tools
- No advertising or advertising identifiers
- No accounts, sign-in, or cloud sync
- No sharing of your data with third parties
Information sent over the internet
The app makes a small number of read-only network requests to show fresh content. None of these requests include personal information about you or your child:
- Recipes and articles are fetched from juliascott.co.nz.
- Course videos are streamed from Bunny.net's video delivery network.
- Notifications (such as retest reminders and milestone nudges) are scheduled locally on your device. We do not send push notifications from a server.
The companies that host these services may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and request time) as part of normal web hosting, governed by their own privacy policies.
Purchases
The paid course is sold through your platform's in-app purchase system: Apple's In-App Purchase on iOS, and Google Play Billing on Android. Your chosen platform handles payment and receipts. We never see your payment details. Apple's privacy practices are described at apple.com/legal/privacy. Google's privacy practices are described at policies.google.com/privacy.
Children's privacy
Little Bites is designed for parents and caregivers to track their child's food journey. The app is not directed at children, does not knowingly collect information from children, and does not transmit any information about your child off your device.
The juliascott.co.nz website
The website's hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and request time).
The website uses Google Analytics to understand how many people visit and which pages are most useful. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as the pages you view, how you arrived at the site, and your general location and device type. It does not tell us who you are. Google's privacy practices are described at policies.google.com/privacy, and you can opt out with Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The Little Bites app does not use Google Analytics.
The website also uses the Meta pixel, from Facebook and Instagram. We use it to see how many people arrive from our ads and how many tap the App Store or Google Play buttons, so we can show the ads to people who are likely to find them useful. It records the pages you view and those button taps, and sets cookies in your browser. It does not receive anything you type into a form, such as your name or email address. Meta handles this information under its own privacy practices, described at facebook.com/privacy/policy. You can limit ad tracking in your Facebook and Instagram settings or by blocking tracking in your browser. The Little Bites app does not use the Meta pixel.
If you sign up for the newsletter, the free checklist or the app link, your name and email address are stored with our email provider, MailerLite, so we can send you what you asked for. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
Your rights
Because we do not collect or hold any personal information about you through the app, there is nothing for us to access, correct, or delete on our end. You can clear all app data at any time by deleting the app from your device.
This policy complies with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, Apple's App Store privacy requirements, and Google Play's privacy requirements.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles data in a future update, we'll update this policy and change the effective date above.
