We collect account details needed to sign you in, including your email address and user identifier. We also collect the recipes, pantry items, pantry locations, grocery list items, cooking history, recipe photos, imported recipe text, recipe URLs, usage counters, app activity, diagnostics, crash reports, advertising identifiers, and ad interaction data needed to provide, improve, protect, and support the app.

Recipe URL imports may use available page metadata, captions, descriptions, transcripts, or recipe media audio from the linked recipe source to improve recipe details. Recipe text, photos, URLs, metadata, captions, descriptions, transcripts, and recipe media audio may be sent to service providers that process recipe imports. The app does not record audio from your device microphone for this release.

YouTube link imports use YouTube API Services to read public video metadata such as the title, description, and thumbnail. By using YouTube link imports, you also agree to the YouTube Terms of Service at https://www.youtube.com/t/terms. Google explains its privacy practices at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy. TikTok link imports use TikTok oEmbed metadata. Instagram link imports require you to provide the post caption, transcript, or visible recipe text because the URL alone does not provide enough recipe detail.

Free use may be supported by ads. We use Google AdMob to show ads and rewarded ads, and AdMob may collect or receive advertising identifiers, device information, and ad interaction data. We use diagnostics, crash reports, and app activity to understand crashes, reliability, and feature usage.

We use service providers to operate the app, including Supabase for authentication, database, storage, and server functions; OpenAI for recipe import and parsing features; Sentry for crash reporting and diagnostics; Google AdMob for ads; Expo for app builds and updates; and Vercel for hosting public web pages. These providers process data only as needed to provide their services to Recipe Pantry. We do not sell personal and sensitive user data.

We transmit personal and sensitive user data using HTTPS or other modern encrypted connections. Account data is kept while your account is active or as needed to provide the app. When you delete your account, we delete your login account, recipes, pantry data, grocery list, cooking history, usage counters, and profile records, except where a limited record must be retained for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, dispute handling, or backup recovery.

You can export your account data or delete your account from Settings. Account deletion removes your saved recipes, pantry data, grocery list, cooking history, usage data, profile records, and login account. If you cannot access the app, you can request account deletion by emailing cookiesoftlab@gmail.com from the email address on your account. You can review or change available ad privacy and tracking choices in Settings under Ad Privacy & Tracking.
