Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 19, 2025
Our Commitment
At Do-Re-Ci-Pe, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your information. We keep it simple because privacy policies shouldn't require a law degree to understand.
What We Collect
Photos You Take
When you snap a photo of your fridge, pantry, or receipts, we process those images to identify ingredients. Photos are only used for recipe generation and are not stored permanently unless you choose to save a recipe.
Recipe Data
Recipes you save, ingredients you mark, and cooking preferences help us personalize your experience. This data stays on your device unless you create an account for cross-device syncing.
Usage Information
We collect anonymous usage data (like which features you use most) to improve the app. This data cannot be traced back to you personally.
Device Information
Basic device data (iOS version, device type) helps us optimize performance and fix bugs.
What We DON'T Collect
- We don't sell your data. Ever.
- We don't track your location.
- We don't require personal information to use the app.
- We don't share your photos with third parties.
- We don't use your data for advertising.
How We Use Your Data
- Recipe Generation: Your photos are processed by AI to identify ingredients and create recipes.
- Personalization: We learn your preferences to suggest better recipes over time.
- App Improvement: Anonymous usage data helps us fix bugs and build better features.
- Account Services: If you create an account, we use your email to sync data and send important updates.
Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption. Recipe data lives primarily on your device. If you use an account, synced data is encrypted in transit and at rest on our servers.
Your Rights
- Access: You can view all your saved recipes and data in the app.
- Delete: Delete individual recipes or your entire account anytime from settings.
- Export: Export your saved recipes in a standard format.
- Opt-Out: Disable analytics data collection in app settings.
Third-Party Services
We use trusted third-party services for specific functions:

- Analytics: Anonymous usage data helps us understand how people use the app.
- Cloud Storage: If you create an account, recipe data is stored on secure cloud servers.
All third-party services are GDPR and CCPA compliant.
Children's Privacy
Do-Re-Ci-Pe is designed for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we'll delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy occasionally. When we do, we'll notify you in the app and update the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of Do-Re-Ci-Pe after changes means you accept the updated policy.
