Contact: info@coti-home.com

2. License to Use the App

Kava Oy grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable licence to

download, install, and use the App solely for your personal, non-commercial use in

accordance with these Terms and Apple's App Store terms.

You agree to:

• Use the App only as intended and in compliance with all applicable laws.

• Not reverse-engineer, decompile, modify, or distribute the App without our prior written

consent.

• Ensure that any data you provide (e.g., age, weight, dietary habits) is accurate.

• Not sublicence, sell, resell, transfer, assign, or otherwise commercially exploit the App.

3. User Eligibility and Age Requirements

• You must be at least 13 years old to use the App.• Users aged 13–15 (or up to 16, subject to your local law) require verifiable parental or

guardian consent before creating an account or providing personal data, in accordance

with GDPR Article 8 and Finnish law.

• Users aged 16–17 may use the App with parental awareness; parents may contact us to

review or remove their child's data.

• By creating an account you confirm that you meet the applicable age requirements.

4. User Accounts and Security

To access certain features you may create an account using third-party authentication

(Google, Facebook, Apple ID). By doing so you authorise us to receive information from those

providers as described in our Privacy Policy.

• You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential.

• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

• Notify us immediately at info@coti-home.com if you suspect unauthorised access.

• We reserve the right to suspend accounts that show signs of unauthorised use or fraud.

5. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree NOT to:

• Use the App for any unlawful, fraudulent, or malicious purpose.

• Upload or share content that is offensive, discriminatory, defamatory, or infringes third-

party intellectual property rights.

• Attempt to disrupt the App's functionality, servers, or infrastructure.

• Scrape, harvest, or collect data from the App by automated means.

• Use the App to transmit unsolicited commercial communications.

• Impersonate another person or entity.

6. Health, Medical, and Nutritional Disclaimer

IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Coti is a lifestyle and nutrition tracking tool.

It is NOT a medical device and is NOT intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any

medical condition.

• All nutritional data, macro calculations, calorie estimates, and AI-generated food analyses

are provided for general informational purposes only. They may not be accurate for every

individual or food item.

• AI food analysis (powered by Google Gemini AI) produces estimated nutritional values

based on image recognition. These estimates may be imprecise. Always cross-reference

with official nutritional labels where accuracy is critical.• Body weight, BMI, and body composition data displayed in the App are informational only

and do not constitute a clinical assessment.

• Integration with Apple HealthKit syncs data to and from your personal Health profile. Coti

is not responsible for decisions you make based on HealthKit data.

• Always consult a qualified medical professional, registered dietitian, or nutritionist before

making significant changes to your diet, exercise, or health regime, especially if you have

an existing medical condition.

• Coti accepts no liability for any health consequences arising from reliance on data or

recommendations provided by the App.

HealthKit data collected by the App is used solely for in-app nutrition tracking. It is never

used for advertising, sold to third parties, or uploaded to our servers without your explicit

consent.

7. Coti Food Scale and Bluetooth Integration

The App integrates with the Coti Food Scale via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). By using this

feature you acknowledge:

• You must enable Bluetooth on your device and grant Bluetooth permission to the App.

• BLE connectivity depends on device compatibility and physical proximity. We do not

guarantee uninterrupted connectivity.

• Weight readings are transferred in real time for display and logging. Scale data is not

stored on the scale itself after transfer.

• The Coti Food Scale must be used in accordance with its own product documentation.

Coti Oy is not liable for measurement inaccuracies caused by improper scale use or

calibration.

• Third-party BLE adapters or unofficial Coti-compatible scales are not supported and we

disclaim liability for their use.

8. AI-Generated Content and Food Analysis

The App uses Google Gemini AI to identify foods and estimate nutritional content from

photographs.

• AI-generated nutritional estimates are approximations. They are not guaranteed to be

accurate and may vary from official nutrition databases or product labels.

• You must not rely on AI food analysis as the sole basis for medical, dietary, or clinical

decisions.

• Food images sent for analysis are transmitted to Google's servers. Images are processed

in real time and are not permanently stored after analysis. See our Privacy Policy for

details.

• We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue AI features at any time without

notice.9. Advertising Attribution and App Tracking Transparency

Coti uses AppsFlyer, a mobile attribution platform, to measure the effectiveness of our

advertising campaigns. On iOS devices, we will present Apple's App Tracking Transparency

(ATT) permission prompt before accessing your device's Advertising Identifier (IDFA).

• If you grant ATT permission, your IDFA may be used by AppsFlyer to attribute your app

install to a specific advertising campaign.

• If you decline ATT permission, AppsFlyer will use privacy-preserving aggregated methods

instead. No IDFA is accessed.

• Declining ATT does not restrict access to any App features.

• You can change your ATT preference at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security >

Tracking.

We do NOT use tracking data to build individual advertising profiles or retarget you on

other platforms. Tracking is used exclusively for aggregate campaign measurement.

10. Data Collection, Privacy, and Third-Party Services

By using the App you acknowledge that data is collected and processed in accordance with

our Privacy Policy (https://www.coti-home.com/privacy-policy), which is incorporated into these

Terms by reference.

10.1 Data Storage Clarification

User data is stored in Google Firebase Firestore (cloud database). Authentication tokens are

stored locally in the iOS Keychain. Certain app data is cached in an on-device SQLite

database for offline use. We no longer use MongoDB for production data storage.

If you previously had data stored under earlier versions of the App, that data has been

migrated to Firebase Firestore.

10.2 Third-Party Services Integrated in the App

app Shopify Checkout, those transactions are governed by Shopify's Terms of Service

and the relevant seller's terms.

policy.

and content — belong to Kava Oy or its licensors. Nothing in these Terms grants you any

ownership rights.

• You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works of App content without

prior written consent.

• User-generated content (e.g., custom recipes you create) remains your property. By

submitting such content you grant Kava Oy a limited, royalty-free licence to store and

display it for the purpose of operating the App.

• Coti, the Coti logo, and associated marks are trademarks of Kava Oy. Unauthorised use is

prohibited.

immediately.

15. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The App is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express

Apple Inc. is not responsible for the App, its content, or any claims relating to it. Apple has no

matter relating to the App, Apple is not responsible. Any such claims shall be addressed

exclusively to Kava Oy.

16. Consumer Rights and Jurisdictional Protections

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any rights you have as a consumer under the laws

of Finland, the European Union, or your local jurisdiction that cannot lawfully be excluded or

limited. If any provision of these Terms conflicts with mandatory consumer protection law in

your jurisdiction, the applicable law shall prevail.

(kuluttajansuojalaki).

the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the

updated Terms, you must stop using the App.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Finland, without

regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or

30 days of written notice.• If unresolved, the dispute shall be submitted to the competent courts of Finland (Helsinki

beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, acts of war or

terrorism, government actions, pandemics, internet or infrastructure outages, or failures of

third-party service providers (including Firebase, Apple, or AppsFlyer).

20. Severability and Entire Agreement
