Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2025

Our Privacy Promise

At Cookaroo, your privacy is fundamental to everything we do. We don't sell your data, show you ads, or use your recipes for anything other than providing you with a great service.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and encrypted password. We use this information to authenticate you and provide access to your recipes and meal plans.

Recipe and Meal Plan Data

We store the recipes you add, your meal plans, and your preferences (like measurement systems). This data is used solely to provide you with the Cookaroo service.

Usage Information

We collect basic usage analytics to understand how people use Cookaroo and improve the service. This includes information like which features are used most often, but never the content of your recipes.

How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and maintain the Cookaroo service
  • To authenticate your account and keep your data secure
  • To sync your recipes and meal plans across devices
  • To improve our service and fix bugs
  • To communicate with you about service updates or support

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. The only exceptions are:

  • With your consent: When you explicitly choose to share recipes or meal plans with family members through our collaboration features
  • Service providers: We use trusted third-party services (like Supabase for data storage) that help us operate Cookaroo. These providers are bound by strict privacy agreements
  • Legal requirements: If required by law or to protect our rights and safety

Data Security

We take data security seriously and implement industry-standard measures to protect your information:

  • All data is encrypted in transit and at rest
  • Passwords are securely hashed and never stored in plain text
  • Regular security audits and updates
  • Access controls and monitoring to prevent unauthorized access

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access and download your data at any time
  • Correct or update your information
  • Delete your account and all associated data
  • Opt out of non-essential communications
