PRIVACY AND CONTROL Your tracking data is stored locally on your device, and no account is required. You decide whether to use AI processing, photos, voice features, or Apple Health integration. When you use Ballpark AI, the information needed for your request is sent through Ballpark’s backend to OpenAI for processing. Apple Health weight data is read-only, remains stored locally in Ballpark, and is never sent for AI processing. BALLPARK AI Manual tracking, history, trends, exports, and access to existing data remain available without a subscription. Ballpark AI is available through a monthly auto-renewable subscription. It adds AI-powered meal estimates, photo logging, and the option to refine estimates by voice. Estimates are approximate and should always be reviewed before saving.
