Privacy Policy

Account information. If you create an account, we process your email address and related account identifiers needed for sign-in, account management, and syncing.

Content you save. We process the recipes, notes, tags, ingredients, instructions, folders, pantry items, shopping list items, and other content you choose to store in CookNotes. If you add photos, screenshots, or other media, we process and store them so they can appear in the app and, if you use sync, across your devices.

Imported content. If you use recipe import or translation features, we may process the text, images, and URLs you submit to extract, organize, or translate recipe information.

Purchase information. If you make a purchase, we process purchase status, entitlements, and limited billing-related information made available by our payment and platform providers.

Feature settings. If you use Germany weekly offers, we process the postcode and retailer preferences you provide for that feature.

Device permissions. With your permission, CookNotes may access your photo library, camera, or notifications when needed to provide specific features.

CookNotes works with service providers that help operate the app and website. These providers may process personal information only to the extent reasonably necessary to deliver their services to us.

The main categories of recipients are infrastructure, authentication, purchase management, AI or translation, and image search providers.

Supabase. We use Supabase for account authentication, cloud sync, database storage, and certain file storage functions.

RevenueCat and Apple. We use RevenueCat to manage in-app purchases, entitlements, and billing state on supported platforms. Apple may also process purchase information when you buy through the App Store.

Google Gemini and DeepL. When you use AI import or translation features, recipe text, images, and other content you submit may be processed through our server-side integrations with Gemini and DeepL.

Unsplash. If you use image search features, search requests and related attribution data may be processed through Unsplash-related services.

Where applicable, we process personal information on one or more of the following legal bases under data protection law:

Performance of a contract. When processing is necessary to provide the app and its core features, including account access, syncing, saved content, and purchases.

Consent. When you choose optional features that require permissions or additional processing, such as notifications, camera access, photo library access, AI import, or translation features.

Legitimate interests. When processing is reasonably necessary to secure, maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the service, prevent abuse, and support core operations.

Legal obligations. When processing is necessary to comply with applicable law, lawful requests, or regulatory requirements.

• You can choose whether to create an account and use syncing features, or stay in guest mode and keep your data local on one device.
• You can edit or delete recipes and other stored content in the app.
• You can manage notification permissions in your device settings.
• You can manage photo library and camera permissions in your device settings.
• You can request account deletion from within the app, where available, or by getting in touch through getcooknotes.app.

Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of processing of, or portability of your personal information, to object to certain processing, or to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
