Privacy

What we collect, what we don't, and what you can do about it.

Plain-English version: we keep what we need to make recipes useful and shareable. Everything else, we don't touch.

What we collect

Handle

Identifies you across recipes, memories, and groups.

Required

Display name

Shown next to what you write — change it any time.

Required

Avatar initial + tone

The little colored circle in feeds. No photo required.

Optional

Optional, used only for account recovery if you set one.

Optional

Recipes you write

We store ingredients, steps, methods, tags. That's it.

Required

Memories you pin

Photos are stored in object storage; the text in the database.

Optional

Family / group memberships

Decides who sees private + family-scoped content.

Optional

What we don't collect

✗Address book / contacts (we will never upload these without explicit per-contact consent)
✗Location at sign-in or while browsing
✗Browser fingerprint, device IDs beyond a session cookie
✗Third-party advertising IDs
✗Microphone, camera, or files outside what you explicitly attach

Visibility you control

Every recipe and memory has one of three visibilities. You pick when you write it and you can change it later.

Private

Only you

Drafts, things you haven't decided to share.

Family

Members of the family or group

The default. Nobody outside the group can see it, including search engines.

Public

Anyone with the link

Indexed in /explore. Search engines may surface it. You can revoke any time.

Cookies

We use one first-party cookie (handle) to remember which user you're signed in as. It contains the handle string, nothing else. Clearing it signs you out.

Children

Kids appear in feeds because families add them as members. A child's account is created and managed by an adult in the family. We don't market to children, ever.
