The information we handle can be categorized as follows:

a) Information You Provide to Us:

  • Ingredients and Search Queries: To provide our core functionality, we process the names of ingredients and recipe search terms that you voluntarily enter into the application. This information is sent to our AI service providers to generate a relevant recipe. This data is processed anonymously and is not linked to you or your device in a personally identifiable way.

b) Information Stored Locally on Your Device:

  • Recipe History: Your history of generated and viewed recipes is stored exclusively on your local device. We do not collect, transmit, or have access to this information. This data remains on your phone unless you choose to delete it or uninstall the application.

c) Automatically Collected Non-Personal Information:

  • Usage and Technical Data: We may collect anonymous, non-personal information to help us improve the Service and diagnose technical issues. This may include crash reports, app performance data, device type, and operating system version. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify an individual user.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we handle for the following purposes:

  • To Provide and Maintain the Service: To process your ingredient lists and search queries to generate recipes.

  • To Improve Our Application: To understand how users interact with our app, identify popular features, fix bugs, and enhance the user experience.

  • To Update Content: To fetch and display our curated list of featured recipes within the app.

3. Third-Party Services

We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service. These third parties have access to certain data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Our main third-party services include:

  • AI Service Providers: To process recipe generation requests.

  • Analytics Services (e.g., Google Analytics for Firebase): To help us understand app usage and performance. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy policies.

We recommend you review the privacy policies of these third-party services for more information.

4. Data Security

We value your trust in providing us your information and strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information immediately. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take necessary actions.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
