Privacy Policy

Summary

MyRecipe is designed with privacy at its core. Your recipes are stored locally on your device by default. If you choose to create an account for cloud sync, your data is stored securely in Firebase and is never shared with third parties.

What data do we collect?

Local storage: By default, recipes are stored only on your device.

Optional account: If you sign in with Apple for cloud sync, we store your recipes securely in Firebase. We only store what's necessary: your Apple ID identifier, recipes, and preferences.

Subscriptions: Payment processing is handled by Apple and RevenueCat. We do not have access to your payment details.

Instagram import

When you share an Instagram post to the app, the content is processed to extract recipe information. This processing happens via secure services, and we do not store Instagram content or links to your Instagram account.

OCR and image processing

When you take a photo of a recipe, the image is used only to read the text and create a recipe. Images are not sent to external servers unless necessary for text recognition, and are deleted immediately after processing.

Third-party services

The app uses the following third-party services to provide its functionality:

• Google Gemini AI: Recipe text and URLs are sent to Google's AI services for parsing and extraction. Data is processed in real-time and not stored by Google beyond the request.
• Unsplash: Image search queries are sent to the Unsplash API when browsing photos for AI-generated recipes. Images are hotlinked from Unsplash's CDN.
• Firebase (Google): Used for authentication, cloud storage, and serverless functions.
• RevenueCat: Manages subscription status. No payment details are shared with us.
• Apple Vision: OCR processing for scanned recipes happens on-device.

Analytics

We collect anonymous, aggregated data during onboarding (such as how you found the app and your cooking goals) to improve the app experience. This data is not linked to your identity. We do not use third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.

Your rights

You can delete your account and all associated data directly from the app's Settings page. This permanently removes your recipes, profile, and preferences from our servers. If you use the app without an account, your data is stored only on your device and is removed when you delete the app.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
