Interstitial Beacon LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates the EQ application (the "App").

Data We Collect

EQ collects and processes the following categories of data in connection with your use of the service:

Information you provide: Account registration information (email address), food descriptions and images you submit, dietary preferences or goals you set, and payment information processed by our third-party payment processor.

Phone number: Only if you opt in to SMS logging. Used solely for transactional messages.

Apple HealthKit data: Active energy burned, weight, body fat percentage, workout sessions, water intake, and sleep analysis. Read only — EQ never writes to HealthKit. This data is used solely to calibrate your daily energy target and readiness metrics.

Information generated by the App: Nutritional estimates, meal logs, and usage analytics.

How We Use Your Data

Your data is used solely to provide, maintain, and improve the App's services, process your subscription payments, and communicate with you regarding your account. Your data is not sold to third parties, is not used for targeted advertising, and is not monetized in any way beyond the subscription fees you pay.

Third-Party Processing

Food descriptions and images may be transmitted to third-party AI service providers for processing. These providers are contractually obligated to process data only as directed by us and in accordance with our privacy and security standards.

Data Security

We use industry-standard encryption (TLS/SSL) for data in transit and Firebase's security infrastructure for data at rest. We do not sell user data. We do not run ads. We do not use your data to train machine learning models.

Data Retention

Your identifiable meal data is retained for the duration of your subscription and for ninety (90) days thereafter, after which it is deleted unless retention is required by law. The Company may retain anonymized or aggregated data (which cannot be used to identify you) indefinitely for purposes of research, analytics, and product improvement.

SMS & Mobile Data

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data. To exercise these rights, visit eq-log.io/account or email legal@interstitialbeacon.com.

This End User License Agreement ("Agreement") is a binding legal agreement between you ("User") and Interstitial Beacon LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the EQ application (the "App"), you agree to be bound by this Agreement.

1. License Grant

Subject to your compliance with this Agreement and payment of all applicable subscription fees, the Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download, install, and use the App on devices you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

2. Subscription and Payment

Access to the App requires a paid subscription. Subscription fees are billed on a recurring basis (quarterly or annually, as selected by you) and are non-refundable except as required by applicable law. You may cancel at any time through the Stripe customer portal — cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. The Company reserves the right to modify subscription pricing upon reasonable advance notice.

3. Description of the Service

The App uses artificial intelligence, including large language models ("LLMs"), to process user-submitted text descriptions and images of food in order to generate estimated macronutrient compositions and other nutritional metrics. The estimates are approximations only.

4. Disclaimer of Medical and Nutritional Advice

THE APP DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE, DIAGNOSIS, OR TREATMENT. The nutritional estimates and information provided are for general informational and educational purposes only and are not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice. You should always consult a qualified healthcare provider before making dietary decisions.

5. Accuracy Disclaimer

You acknowledge and agree that: (a) nutritional estimates are approximations and may contain errors; (b) accuracy depends on the quality of descriptions and images you provide; (c) the App may not accurately identify all ingredients, portion sizes, or preparation methods; (d) the App should not be relied upon for managing medical conditions where precise nutritional information is critical.

6. Assumption of Risk

You assume all risk associated with your use of the App and any reliance on the nutritional information it provides. You are solely responsible for your dietary choices and any consequences thereof.

7. AI Disclosure

The App utilizes large language models and other AI technologies. AI-generated outputs are probabilistic in nature and may produce inconsistent results. Models are periodically updated, which may result in changes to estimates over time.

8. Intellectual Property

The App is owned by the Company or its licensors. You retain ownership of the images and text descriptions you submit, but you grant the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use such content solely for providing and improving the App's services.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. THE COMPANY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE SUBSCRIPTION FEES PAID DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

10. Termination

The Company may terminate or suspend your access at any time. You may terminate by deleting the App and canceling your subscription. Sections 4 through 6, 8, and 9 survive termination.

11. Governing Law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. Disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware.

EQ includes an optional SMS interface that lets you log meals, record workouts, and receive metabolic insights by text message. When you text a meal to EQ, our system analyzes the nutritional content and updates your daily ledger automatically.

How to opt in:

1. Subscribe to EQ and download the app
2. Text START, JOIN, or SUBSCRIBE to (617) 752-0956 from the phone number you registered with
3. You will receive a confirmation message:
   "EQ: You're now connected to EQ by Interstitial Beacon. Text your meals to log them. Msg frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to cancel."
4. Begin logging meals by texting what you ate (e.g., "grilled chicken and rice")

EQ sends the following types of text messages — all transactional, never promotional:

• Meal log confirmations with nutritional breakdown and EQ point calculations
• Exercise log confirmations with estimated calorie expenditure
• Fasting/deficit alerts when no food has been logged for 14+ hours
• Weekly After Action Reports summarizing your metabolic performance
• Pre-workout fuel reminders when glycogen levels are detected as low
• Post-workout recovery prompts for protein intake timing
