Fridge Chef ("we," "our," or "us"), developed by Codaucity, is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information when you use our mobile application.
1. Information We Collect
User-Provided Information: We collect information you voluntarily provide, such as ingredients you enter to search for recipes and any data entered into the BMI calculator (e.g., height, weight). This data is primarily used to provide the app's core functionality.
Favorites: We store your "Favorite" recipes locally on your device or via your account to allow you easy access to them.
Automatically Collected Information (Crashlytics): We use Firebase Crashlytics to monitor the stability of our app. This service collects "crash logs," which include information about your device type, operating system, and the state of the app when a crash occurred. This data is anonymous and does not identify you personally.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
Provide, maintain, and improve the recipe search experience.
Personalize your experience (e.g., remembering your favorite recipes).
Monitor and analyze app performance and stability through crash reports.
Send you immediate in-app updates to ensure you are using the latest version of the app.
3. Third-Party Services
We may share limited data with the following third-party services:
Spoonacular API: We send the ingredients you search for to Spoonacular to retrieve relevant recipes.
Google Firebase: We use Firebase for crash reporting and app performance monitoring.
Google Play Services: Used for handling in-app updates and providing the app via the Play Store.
These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they handle data.
4. Data Retention
Local Data: Most data, such as your ingredients and BMI calculations, are stored locally on your device and are deleted if you uninstall the app.
Analytics/Crash Data: Anonymous crash reports are stored by Firebase according to their standard data retention policies.
5. Children's Privacy
Fridge Chef does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.
6. Your Rights and Choices
You can choose not to provide certain information (like ingredients), though it may limit your ability to use certain features of the app. You can also clear your app data or uninstall the app at any time to remove locally stored information.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
