Privacy Policy for Refrigenerate
Welcome to Refrigenerate! Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how we handle your information when you use our app to turn your fridge leftovers into culinary masterpieces.
1 Information We Collect
To provide our recipe generation service, we collect the following:
- Ingredient Data: When you input ingredients (e.g., "tomatoes, eggs, spinach"), this text is processed to generate recipes.
- Usage Data: We may collect anonymous technical information such as your device type, operating system, and app performance logs to help us fix bugs.
2 How We Use Your Information
We use your data strictly for:
- Generating Recipes: Sending your ingredient list to our AI engine to create your 3 meal ideas.
- App Functionality: Ensuring the "Generate Meal Ideas" button works smoothly.
3 Data Storage (Local vs. Cloud)
Local Storage: When you choose to store recipes, they are saved locally on your device. We do not host your saved recipe library on our servers. If you delete the app, your saved recipes will be removed.
Cloud Processing: Your ingredient lists are sent to an AI provider to generate instructions. This data is transient and is typically not used to identify you personally.
4 Third-Party Services
We use AI technology to generate recipes. While we do not sell your data to third parties, the ingredient text you provide is shared with our AI partner (e.g., Google Gemini or OpenAI) solely to produce your meal ideas.
5 Your Choices and Rights
Data Deletion: Since saved recipes are stored locally, you can delete them at any time within the app settings or by clearing the app's cache.
Input Control: You are in control of what ingredients you list. We recommend not entering any personally identifiable information (like your name or address) into the ingredient input field.
6 Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information transmitted during the recipe generation process. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.
7 Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the app.
