How We Use Your Information

Primary Uses

• Recipe Generation: To create personalized recipes based on your ingredients and preferences.

• App Improvement: To enhance app functionality and user experience.
• Customer Support: To provide technical support and respond to your inquiries.

Third-Party AI (OpenAI) – Recipe and meal plan generation

When you use Generate Recipe or Generate Meal Plan, we send the following data to our servers and then to OpenAI so they can create your recipe or meal plan:

• For recipes: The ingredients you enter, meal type (e.g. breakfast, dinner), dietary preferences, and whether you requested a basic or detailed recipe.
• For meal plans: Your calorie goal, dietary preferences, and the number of days for the plan.

How we collect it: You provide this data in the app when you tap Generate. We do not send it until you have agreed in the app to share data with our AI provider.

How it is used: This data is used only to generate your recipe or meal plan. We do not use your inputs to train AI models. OpenAI processes the data under their API terms and privacy policy and provides data protection consistent with our requirements. For more information, see OpenAI's Privacy Policy.

You can revoke consent at any time in Settings → AI recipe & meal plan. After revoking, we will ask for your permission again before the next generation.
