1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide directly to us or that is automatically collected when you use our Service.

Personal Information: When you create an account, we use Firebase Authentication to collect and store your email address and password. If you choose to use a third-party service to log in (like Google or Apple), we receive the information they provide, such as your email address. We also collect the subscription information associated with your purchase.

User-Generated Content: The core functionality of our app is to help you with meal planning. We collect information you actively provide, including:

  • Recipes and recipe URLs
  • Meal plans
  • Shopping lists
  • Settings and preferences
2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To Provide and Maintain the Service: We use your data to operate the app, manage your account, process your subscription payments, and save your meal plans and shopping lists using Cloud Firestore.

To Facilitate Collaboration: If you choose to invite family members, we use your email address to send the invitation and link your accounts. This allows them to view and edit your shared information, such as meal plans and shopping lists, as you've allowed.

To Improve Our Service: We may use certain anonymized and aggregated data to improve the app. For example, we might analyze the types of recipes or meal plans users are adding to enhance our internal search features or improve the app's overall functionality. This data is not linked to your personal identity.

To Communicate with You: We may use your contact information to send you transactional emails related to your account or subscription.

Third-Party Service Providers: We use Firebase for authentication and database services. Your data is stored securely on Google's Cloud Firestore. These services are essential for the operation of the app.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using Google's Cloud Firestore. We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we collect from loss, theft, and unauthorized access, use, and modification.
