This Privacy Notice for Starbucks Calorie Calculator (Independent Project)(“I,” “me,” or “my“), describes how and why I might access, collect, store, use, and/or share (“process“) your personal information when you use my services (“Services“), including when you:

  1. Visit my website at https://starbucks-calorie-calculator.com/, or any website of mine that links to this Privacy Notice
  2. The Starbucks Calorie Calculator is an independent, web-based tool designed to provide users with detailed nutritional insights into food and beverages available at Starbucks. This platform is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Starbucks Corporation. It operates independently and serves solely as an informational resource. Users can customize their drink and food orders, adjust ingredients, and view real-time calorie and macronutrient changes to make informed dietary choices. The nutritional data for standard menu items is sourced from the official Starbucks website. However, calorie calculations for customizations have been estimated using a combination of publicly available data, analysis of preloaded drink compositions, and insights gathered from online communities such as Reddit’s r/1200isplenty and r/starbucks subreddits. While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, actual nutritional values may vary. This tool does not sell products but aims to help users track and manage their nutrition intake based on their Starbucks orders.
  3. Engage with me in other related ways, including any sales, marketing, or events

Independence Disclaimer

The Starbucks Calorie Calculator is an independent tool designed to help users understand the nutritional content of Starbucks food and beverages. This website is not affiliated, endorsed, or sponsored by Starbucks Corporation in any way. All product names, logos, trademarks, icons, and images belong to their respective owners.

Additionally, some icons and images used on this website are sourced from SVG Repo and other external websites. A full list of sources will be provided once finalized.

Data Accuracy & Sources

The nutritional information provided on this website is primarily based on Starbucks’ official data combined with estimated calculations derived from publicly available sources. These sources include user-contributed data from platforms such as Reddit (1200isplenty, r/Starbucks), various nutritional databases, and ingredient information from other food industry resources.

For customized drink and food orders, I use a combination of preloaded ingredient data, standard nutrition values, and mathematical estimations to determine the calorie count and macronutrient breakdown. These calculations are based on publicly available ingredient details, Starbucks’ own data, and user-shared insights from those who frequently modify their Starbucks orders and track their macros. By leveraging this data, I aim to provide a real-time and interactive way for users to see how their customizations affect nutrition.

However, despite my best efforts to ensure accuracy, nutritional values may not be 100% precise due to factors such as variations in ingredient composition, regional differences, and preparation inconsistencies. Starbucks locations may use different formulations, portion sizes, or ingredient suppliers, leading to slight differences in actual nutritional content. Additionally, certain toppings, mix-ins, and adjustments may not have official published nutritional data, requiring me to estimate based on available information.

For the most accurate and up-to-date nutritional details, users should always refer to Starbucks’ official website or in-store nutritional resources. While my tool is designed to be a helpful reference for tracking calories and macros, it should not be considered a certified source for medical or dietary decisions. If you have specific dietary restrictions, allergies, or health concerns, I recommend consulting directly with Starbucks or a registered nutritionist.

Updates to This Privacy Notice
