1) Data Collection

Food.com mainly works with local dummy recipe data.The app may process limited usage data locally on your device for core functionality, such as favorites, search input, and downloaded content.

2) Images and Network Access

Recipe images may load from third-party HTTPS image providers.The app does not require account registration and does not intentionally collect personal identity data from these image requests.

3) Storage and Downloads

If you use download features, recipe text and images are saved on your device storage (app files and/or gallery folder).These files remain on your device unless you delete them.

4) Sharing

When you tap Share, the app sends recipe text to the app you choose (for example, messaging apps).What happens after sharing depends on that third-party app’s privacy practices.

5) Children’s Privacy Policy

Food.com is designed for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.If a parent or guardian believes a child has provided personal information, please contact the app publisher/support channel so related data can be reviewed and removed where possible.

Reasonable app-level practices are used to protect on-device data.However, no method of storage or transmission is 100% secure.

7) Policy Updates

For privacy questions or requests, contact the app publisher/support channel provided with the app.If you want, I can also give you a short website version and a Google Play Console “Data safety” version of this same policy.
