Privacy Policy
Information We Collect
Account information
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and authentication identifiers. If you sign in with Apple, we receive the information Apple provides, which may include a private relay email address.
Household and family data
We store your household name, the names and ages of household members, and dietary preferences and restrictions you enter for each member. This data is used to scale recipes and personalize meal planning.
Recipes and meal plans
We store recipes you create, meal plans you build, grocery lists you generate, and grocery snapshots you save. This data is associated with your account and visible to other members of your shared household.
AI feature inputs and outputs
When you use AI-powered features - including meal plan generation, grocery list generation, recipe image generation, recipe scanning from photos, and recipe audio transcription - your inputs (text prompts, uploaded photos, audio recordings) are sent to Anthropic's API for processing. We do not use your inputs to train AI models. Inputs are subject to Anthropic's data handling practices in addition to ours.
Subscription and billing data
Subscription management is handled by RevenueCat and the Apple App Store. We receive confirmation of your subscription status and plan tier, but we do not store your payment card details.
Household invitations
When you invite someone to join your household, we store the email address you provide in order to send the invitation. That address is deleted when the invitation is accepted, declined, or expires.
Push notifications
If you enable push notifications, we store a device push token to deliver notifications such as household updates and invitation alerts.
Social features
If you use social features (following other users, blocking users, making your profile public), we store those relationships and your public profile information.

We collect app usage data to monitor reliability, diagnose errors, and improve the service. This may include crash logs, feature usage patterns, and API performance data.
