Data & Disclaimers
Last updated: March 9, 2026
Sako does not provide medical advice, clinical guidance, or treatment plans. All nutritional information in this app is intended for general informational and educational purposes only and is not meant to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.
Restaurant & Menu Data
Meal and menu information displayed in Sako is sourced from publicly available nutrition information published by restaurant brands. Nutritional tags (such as “High Protein”, “Low Calorie”, or “High Carb”) are provided for general guidance only.
Nutritional values can vary due to portion size, ingredients, sauces, cooking methods, substitutions, and regional differences. Restaurants may change their menus, ingredients, or preparation methods at any time without notice. Sako does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any menu or nutritional information displayed in the app.
Official Restaurant Nutrition Sources
Where available, Sako references nutrition information directly from official restaurant sources, including:
- McDonald's — mcdonalds.com nutrition calculator
- Subway — subway.com nutrition guide
Additional restaurant data may be sourced from publicly available menus and third-party nutrition databases. To help parse and structure menu information, Sako may use AI language models to extract and organise nutritional data from restaurant sources. While we strive for accuracy, AI-parsed values are estimates and may not perfectly reflect a restaurant's exact recipe, preparation method, or regional variation. Data accuracy depends on the source and may not reflect the most current menu offerings.
How Nutritional Tags Are Determined
Meal tags such as “High Protein”, “Low Calorie”, and “High Carb” are determined using general nutritional guidelines from publicly available, non-medical sources, including:
- USDA MyPlate Guidelines — myplate.gov
- American Heart Association — Healthy Eating Recommendations — heart.org
These tags are designed only to help users explore meals that may align with general fitness or dietary preferences. They are not individualised medical advice. Actual nutritional needs can vary widely based on metabolism, medical conditions, activity level, and dietary restrictions.
No Medical Advice
Sako is not a medical or dietary service. Nothing in the app constitutes medical advice, a clinical recommendation, or a personalised nutrition plan. Users with specific medical conditions, allergies, or dietary needs should consult a qualified healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making food choices based on information shown in the app.
Allergies & Dietary Restrictions
You are solely responsible for verifying ingredients, allergens, and preparation methods directly with the restaurant before ordering. Sako's meal tags and filters are provided for convenience only. We cannot guarantee that any meal is free from allergens, cross-contamination, or specific ingredients.
Location Data
Sako uses your device's location solely to surface nearby restaurants and meal options. Location data is accessed only while the app is in use and is not stored on our servers. See our Privacy Policy for full details on how location data is handled.
Third-Party Services
Sako integrates the following third-party services to operate and improve the app:
- RevenueCat — subscription and purchase management. revenuecat.com/privacy
- PostHog — anonymised product analytics. posthog.com/privacy
- Expo — app infrastructure and crash reporting. expo.dev/privacy
These services operate under their own privacy policies and terms. Sako is not responsible for the data practices of these third parties.
Limitation of Liability
Sako is provided on an “as is” basis. We make no warranties regarding the accuracy or reliability of any information displayed in the app. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sako shall not be liable for any damages arising from reliance on menu data, nutritional tags, restaurant availability, or any third-party content shown in the app.
