myrecipe.ai plans meals around what is already in your kitchen. To do that we keep a small amount of information about your household. This page explains exactly what we keep, why we keep it, who else can see it, and how to get it back or delete it.
Who we are
This website and app are operated under the name myrecipe.ai, based in Pakistan. For anything in this policy you can write to support@myrecipe.ai and a person will answer.
What we collect
Your account
Your name, email address and an encrypted (hashed) password. We never store your password in readable form. If you sign in from a new device we may record the date and device type so we can show you where your account is used.
Your household and kitchen
The household name, country, currency, time zone and the number of people you cook for; the names, ages and portion sizes of the people in your household; food preferences, cuisines and anything you ask us to avoid; your pantry items, shopping list, saved recipes, weekly plans, leftovers, cooking history and grocery spending.
Health and fitness information
Only if you choose to use these features: dietary or health needs you add to a family profile (for example diabetes, gluten free or lactose free), and, in Fitness goals, your sex, age, height, weight, activity level, training days, the food you log and your weight over time.
This is sensitive information and we treat it that way. It is used only to work out your targets, to adjust the meals we suggest and to show your own progress. We do not sell it, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not share it with anyone except the coach you personally invite. You can clear it at any time by setting your goal back to “No fitness goal” or by deleting your data.
Payments
Paid plans are not live yet. When they are, payment is handled by a licensed payment provider. Your card details go to that provider and never reach our servers; we keep only the plan you chose, the amount, the date and the invoice.
Technical information
Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested) for security and troubleshooting. We use a small number of cookies that are needed to keep you signed in and to remember choices such as your language or currency. We do not run advertising trackers, and we do not use third-party analytics that profile you.
Why we are allowed to keep it
- To provide the service you asked for — an account, meal plans, your pantry and shopping list (performance of a contract).
- With your consent for optional features — fitness goals, health needs, notifications and coach sharing. You can withdraw consent by turning the feature off.
- To keep the service safe and working, and to meet accounting and tax rules for payments (legitimate interests and legal obligation).
Who else can see your information
- People you invite to your household. Family sharing gives them the same pantry, shopping list and plans. The household owner can remove them at any time.
- A coach you invite. A coach sees only the fitness numbers of the person being coached: targets, what is logged each day, and weight. They cannot see your pantry, shopping list, recipes or anyone else in your household. You choose whether they may change your plan, and you can stop the sharing at any time from the Fitness screen.
- Our suppliers. Hosting (server and backups), an image service that generates illustrative dish photos from the recipe name only, an email service for account emails and reminders, and later a payment provider. They act on our instructions and may not use your information for their own purposes.
- When you choose to share. If you send a recipe or shopping list on WhatsApp, that message leaves our app and is handled by WhatsApp.
- If the law requires it. We will only hand over information when we are legally obliged to, and we will tell you unless we are forbidden from doing so.
We do not sell your personal information, and we never share your health or fitness data for advertising.
Where your information is kept
Our servers and suppliers may be located outside your country, including in Europe and North America. When information leaves your country we rely on the standard contractual protections our suppliers provide.
How long we keep it
- While your account is open, we keep your household data so the app works.
- If you delete your household data, it is removed immediately and cannot be recovered.
- If you close your account, we delete it within 30 days, except invoices, which accounting rules require us to keep for up to seven years.
- Server logs are kept for a short period for security, usually no more than 90 days.
Your choices and rights
From Account → Privacy you can download everything we hold about your household as a file, delete your household data, or close your account. You can also:
- Ask us for a copy of your information, or ask us to correct it.
- Ask us to delete it, or to stop using it for a particular purpose.
- Turn off notifications, fitness goals or coach sharing at any time.
- Complain to your local data protection authority. If you are in the UK or EU, the UK GDPR and GDPR rights apply to you and you may complain to your national regulator.
Write to support@myrecipe.ai and we will answer within 30 days.
Children
You must be 18 or older to create an account. You may add children to your household as family profiles — a first name, an age and any dietary needs — so portions and school tiffins work out correctly. Fitness goals, calorie targets and the food tracker are never available for anyone under 18.
Security
The site runs over HTTPS, passwords are hashed, invite links are single use and stored only as a hash, and access to household data is checked on every request. No service can promise perfect security, but if a breach ever affects your information we will tell you and the relevant authority promptly.
Changes to this policy
If we change anything important we will update the date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, tell you in the app or by email before the change takes effect.
