Health Disclaimer (in-app and store copy)
This is the language Eatline shows for calorie targets, ranges, and GLP-1 portion mode, and the language we commit to never using. It exists to satisfy Apple's App Store rules (1.4.1, 5.1.1, 5.1.3) and to keep every health-adjacent claim honest.
Where it appears
- Every time a user turns on GLP-1 portions mode (long form; the GLP-1 branch screen in onboarding).
- The restaurant sheet, under the dishes and their calorie and macro numbers (short form).
- The Plan tab, under your daily targets (short form).
- App Store product page and description (short form).
Long form (onboarding, GLP-1 mode entry)
Eatline estimates calorie and macro targets from the numbers you give us, using standard formulas. It is not a medical assessment. GLP-1 portions mode adjusts serving-size suggestions for people eating less; it is not dosing guidance and does not know your prescription. Talk to your doctor or dietitian before changing your diet for a medical reason, especially with a medical condition, pregnancy or breastfeeding, or medication affecting appetite or metabolism.
Short form (restaurant sheet, store listing)
Not medical advice. Check with your doctor for anything that depends on being exact.
Ranges and labels
Every number Eatline shows is labelled Verified, Estimated, or Rough. Estimated and Rough numbers are shown as ranges, not single figures, because that is what the underlying data supports. We say "roughly" and "about" on anything short of Verified.
What we will never say
- Never promise weight loss, muscle gain, or any health outcome ("you will lose X", "guaranteed results").
- Never claim a number is exact when it is Estimated or Rough.
- Never suggest Eatline replaces a doctor, dietitian, or prescriber.
- Never suggest GLP-1 portions mode is equivalent to, or a substitute for, medical dosing of GLP-1 medication.
- Never use health or fitness data to target ads, and never say we do the opposite as reassurance marketing (Apple 5.1.3 forbids the practice, not just the claim).
- Never gate a paid feature behind a requirement to hand over health data beyond what free users can decline (Apple 5.1.1).
- Never use diagnostic language ("you have," "this treats," "this prevents").
Source line
Every ranked item also carries a one-line source ("From Chipotle's published nutrition, captured 12 Aug"). The health disclaimer and the source line are not substitutes for each other: the source line is about data provenance, this disclaimer is about medical scope.
