CookRecipe ("we," "our," or "the App") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how CookRecipe handles information when you use our Android application.
CookRecipe is an independent recipe application designed to help users discover, organize, save, and manage recipes.
CookRecipe is designed to minimize the collection of personal information.
If you use features such as creating your own recipes, the app may store information that you voluntarily enter, including:
Recipe names
Recipe descriptions
Ingredients
Cooking instructions
Preparation and cooking times
Serving information
Categories and tags
Personal recipe notes
Recipe images selected by you
This information may be stored locally on your device to provide the application's recipe-management and offline functionality.
When you mark a recipe as a favorite or save it for offline access, this information may be stored locally on your device.
If search history is enabled, your recipe searches may be stored locally on your device so that the app can provide search-history functionality.
Unless a future version of CookRecipe specifically introduces a feature requiring such information, CookRecipe does not intentionally collect:
Your name
Your physical address
Your contacts
Your phone number
Your precise location
Your SMS messages
Your call history
Your passwords
Your financial or payment information
Your government identification information
We also do not intentionally sell your personal information.
CookRecipe may allow you to select an image from your device when creating a recipe.
The application only uses an image for the functionality you request, such as attaching it to your recipe.
Where possible, CookRecipe uses Android's system photo picker rather than requesting broad access to your device's photo library.
Information stored by CookRecipe is used to provide and improve app functionality, including:
Displaying recipes
Saving favorite recipes
Providing offline recipe access
Managing your personal recipes
Maintaining search history
Improving the application's usability
Preventing technical problems and crashes
We do not use your personal recipe information for purposes unrelated to the application's functionality unless we clearly inform you and obtain any consent required by applicable law.
CookRecipe provides offline functionality.
Recipe information, favorites, search history, and other app data may be stored locally on your Android device using local storage/database technology.
Information that remains only on your device is not transmitted to our servers.
If a future version of the app introduces online accounts, cloud synchronization, analytics, advertising, or other online services, this Privacy Policy will be updated to describe the relevant data practices.
The current version of CookRecipe is designed to provide core recipe functionality locally on the device.
If third-party services, analytics tools, advertising SDKs, cloud services, authentication providers, or other external services are added in a future version, their data practices will be disclosed in an updated Privacy Policy and the Google Play Data Safety section where applicable.
Developers are responsible for accurately declaring data collected or shared by third-party SDKs used in their apps.
We do not intentionally sell or rent users' personal information.
We do not intentionally share personal information with third parties unless:
You request or authorize the sharing;
It is necessary to provide a feature you have requested;
It is required by applicable law;
It is necessary to protect the security or integrity of the application; or
A future third-party service is introduced and its use is properly disclosed.
Any future changes to data sharing practices will be reflected in this Privacy Policy and, where applicable, the Google Play Data Safety section.
We take reasonable measures to protect information handled by the application.
For locally stored information, CookRecipe relies on Android's application sandbox and standard Android security mechanisms.
However, no electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Locally stored CookRecipe information generally remains on your device until:
You delete the information from the app;
You clear the application's data;
You uninstall the application; or
The application provides a specific deletion feature that you use.
If a future version introduces user accounts or cloud storage, we will provide an appropriate account/data deletion mechanism and update this Privacy Policy accordingly.
Google Play requires apps that offer account creation to provide users with a clear way to request account deletion and deletion of associated account data.
CookRecipe is not specifically directed toward children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that appropriate action can be taken.
CookRecipe requests only permissions that are necessary for the features provided by the application.
Where possible, the application uses Android system features such as the Photo Picker to minimize unnecessary permissions.
The permissions requested by the actual version of the application should match the disclosures made in the Google Play Data Safety section.
We may update this Privacy Policy when the application's functionality, data practices, legal requirements, or third-party services change.
When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date shown at the top of this Privacy Policy.
You should periodically review this page for the latest information.

By using CookRecipe, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.
