Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address, display name, and password (hashed). If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email, and Google account ID.

Photos: When you scan your fridge or receipt, the photo is sent to our servers for AI analysis. We do not permanently store your photos — they are processed in memory and discarded. A small thumbnail (200px) may be saved with your recipe for display purposes.

Recipes: Recipes you choose to save are stored in your account, including the recipe text, ingredients, steps, and optional nutritional information.

Usage Data: We track daily scan counts for subscription limit enforcement. We do not track your browsing behavior or sell your data to third parties.
