Privacy Policy

ArfidLess is operated by Daniel Marder, an individual based in the United Kingdom. For the purposes of data protection law, Daniel Marder acts as the data controller of your personal data.

ArfidLess is a digital platform designed to help individuals better understand and manage Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID).

If you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us at:

Email: arfidless@gmail.com

We may collect and process the following types of data:

a) Information you provide directly

• Email address (e.g., when joining the waitlist)
• Name (if provided)
• Responses to assessments or questionnaires
• Any information you choose to share in the app

b) Automatically collected data

• IP address
• Browser type and device information
• Pages visited and usage data

c) Sensitive data (health-related)

Because ArfidLess relates to eating behaviours, some data you provide may be considered health data under the UK GDPR. We process this data only where you have given explicit, informed consent, for example by actively submitting assessment responses within the platform.

You may withdraw your consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your withdrawal.

We use your data to:

• Provide and operate the ArfidLess platform
• Personalise your experience (e.g., ARFID profile, food mapping)
• Improve our product and user experience
• Communicate with you (including updates and early access)
• Ensure security and prevent misuse

We may also use anonymised or aggregated data for research and product improvement.

We do not sell your personal data.

Under the UK GDPR, we rely on:

• Consent (for health-related data and communications)
• Legitimate interests (to improve and operate our service)
• Contractual necessity (to provide the service you request)

We may share your data with trusted third parties, including:

• Hosting providers (e.g., cloud infrastructure)
• Analytics providers
• Email service providers

Some of these providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent legal mechanisms.

All third parties are required to protect your data. We do not share your data for third-party marketing purposes.

Your data is stored securely using industry-standard technical and organisational measures. We take reasonable steps to protect your data from:

• Unauthorised access
• Loss or misuse

However, no system is completely secure.

We retain your data only for as long as necessary to:

• Provide our services
• Comply with legal obligations

Where you create an account, we retain your data while your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter. You may request deletion of your data at any time.

Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion (“right to be forgotten”)
• Restrict or object to processing
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise your rights, contact: arfidless@gmail.com

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

We use cookies to improve your experience and understand how our website is used.

• Essential cookies are required for the website to function
• Analytics cookies help us improve the product

We only use non-essential cookies where you have given your consent via our cookie banner. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.

ArfidLess is not intended for children under the age of 13 without parental consent. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete such information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Where changes are significant, we will take reasonable steps to notify you.
