Mealchemy respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information is processed when you use the app and how it is handled.
Mealchemy is designed to minimize the collection and storage of personal data.
Mealchemy is privately operated and can be contacted at Loading....
Mealchemy assigns your device a random anonymous identifier used to manage daily usage limits and prevent abuse. This identifier is not linked to your identity.
Ingredient lists generated from your image may be sent to AI services to generate recipe suggestions. This information is processed temporarily and is not retained on our servers.
To improve performance, translated or generated recipe results may be temporarily cached. These cached results contain recipe information only and no user-identifying data.
The app uses local device storage (localStorage) to persist your anonymous device identifier and app preferences such as sound settings. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
We use analytics services to understand how the app is used and to improve its functionality. Analytics may collect aggregated usage information such as session counts, feature usage, device type, operating system version, and screen size. We do not use analytics for advertising or user profiling.
We use trusted third-party service providers to operate certain features of the app. Current providers include:
These providers process data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We may update or change service providers from time to time to improve the functionality, performance, or reliability of the app.
We do not use advertising services or sell user data.
Where applicable under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we process data based on the following legal grounds:
Some service providers may process data outside your country of residence, including in the United States or other jurisdictions. Where applicable, such transfers are made using appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable data protection laws, including the right to request access to personal data, request correction or deletion, object to certain processing, and request data portability.
Because Mealchemy does not store identifiable personal data, we may not be able to associate requests with a specific user.
Mealchemy is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data during transmission and processing.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app, legal requirements, or service providers. Updates will be indicated by revising the "Last updated" date.
