Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We only ask for personal information when we truly need it to provide a service to you. We collect it by fair and lawful means, with your knowledge and consent.

• Email address for account synchronization
• Preferences and dietary restrictions
• Ingredients entered for recipe suggestions

2. Use of Information

We use your information to provide our services, specifically:

• Generating personalized recipes using our AI models
• Saving favorite recipes to your account
• Improving our algorithms based on anonymous usage

3. Data Retention

We only retain collected information for as long as necessary to provide you with your requested service. If you delete your account, your data is anonymized and retained for analytics purposes. What data we do store, we'll protect within commercially acceptable means.

4. Third-Party Services

We use Google Firebase for authentication and database management, Google GenAI for recipe generation, and Stripe for payment processing. Stripe handles all billing and credit card information directly — we do not store your payment card details on our servers. These services handle data according to their own privacy policies. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

5. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data at any time. Please visit our Support Hub for assistance with your request.

6. Children's Privacy

PantryChef is not intended for use by children under the age of 12. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 12. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please visit our Support Hub so we can remove it.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of material changes by updating the "Published" date at the top of this page.
