Privacy
Effective: April 2026
This describes what RecipeGen collects, why, and what your rights are. By using the app you agree to it.
- Account. Your email address (for sign-in) and an optional display name (shown on recipes you publish).
- Content. Recipes, meal plans, pantry items, grocery lists, cook history, and any reports you file.
- Usage. Tokens and dollar cost of each AI call you make, kept so we can enforce a daily cap.
- Supabase (database, auth, storage, edge functions). Hosting region and provider terms apply.
- OpenAI (recipe generation, URL extraction fallback, ingredient normalization, display-name moderation). The text of your AI prompts is sent to OpenAI under their API privacy policy. We do not send your private recipes, meal plans, or pantry to OpenAI unless you explicitly invoke an AI feature on that data.
When you mark a recipe Public, its title, description, ingredients, instructions, and any photo you provided become visible to all users in Discover. Your display name is shown as the author. Don’t publish anything you don’t want public.
We don’t sell your data. We don’t use your private recipes or meal plans for training or analytics. We don’t embed third-party advertising or trackers in the app.
Settings → Delete account permanently removes your account and everything stored under it (recipes, plans, pantry, grocery lists, cook history, blocks, AI usage rows, and reports you filed). Reports filed against your account by others are anonymized but retained for moderation history.
Custom ingredients you authored are kept after deletion (anonymized, not associated with you) so that other users’ saved copies of your public recipes don’t break.
On any public recipe, the “⋯” menu lets you report the recipe or its author and/or block the author. Blocking hides their recipes from your Discover feed; you can unblock from Settings.
Privacy questions, data deletion requests, or moderation concerns: james@ideagen.tech.
We may update this policy. Material changes will be surfaced in the app before they take effect.
