Privacy Policy — Meglio – Cooking Companion

Last updated: October 24, 2026

Android application: Meglio – Cooking Companion
Package name: com.meglio.app

1. Data Controller and Contact Information

Meglio – Cooking Companion ("Meglio" or "the App") is developed and operated by Daniele Riccardo Vinciguerra, who is responsible for the processing of personal data described in this policy.

For privacy-related questions or requests, contact:

daniele.vinciguerra@icloud.com

This Privacy Policy explains how Meglio handles information when users browse recipes, create and manage their own recipes, plan meals, organize shopping lists, and download recipe collections.

2. Information Used by the App

Meglio does not require users to create an account.

The App stores user-created and imported content locally on the device, including:

• Recipes, ingredients, cooking instructions, notes, categories, ratings, and photographs.

• Meal plans, dates, servings, and ingredient quantities.

• Shopping lists and purchased-item status.

• App preferences and technical information necessary for local operation.

This information is used to provide the features requested by users.

Personal recipes, shopping lists, and other user-created content are not automatically transmitted to the developer or stored on the developer's servers.

Meglio does not collect precise location data, contacts, advertising identifiers, or browsing history.

The App does not include advertising, behavioral profiling, analytics, or its own automatic crash-reporting system.

3. Photos, Camera, Files, and Clipboard

Meglio accesses device resources only when requested by the user.

Photos: Users may select images through the Android system photo picker. The App accesses selected images and may store local copies for recipes.

Camera: When requested, the App opens the device camera and uses the resulting photograph.

Clipboard: When users select the Paste function, the App may read clipboard content to identify usable images. Meglio does not continuously monitor the clipboard.

Recipe imports: Users may import compatible recipe files, including Paprika exports. Selected files and associated images are processed locally.

Meglio does not require unrestricted access to all device photos or files.

External applications or cloud services accessed through Android's system components are subject to their respective privacy policies.

4. Local Processing and Recipe Management

Meglio processes recipe formatting and ingredient quantity recognition locally on the device.

The Cook Now feature provides step-by-step cooking guidance using recipe content available within the App.

Ingredient quantities can be recalculated when users change the number of servings.

User-created recipes, meal plans, and shopping lists remain stored locally.

The current version does not use remote artificial intelligence to process personal recipes.

Meglio does not currently provide user accounts, cloud synchronization, developer-operated cloud backups, or in-app purchases.

5. Cloudflare — Recipe Collection Downloads

Meglio uses Cloudflare to host and distribute recipe collections available in the App's dedicated Recipe Collections section.

When users choose to download a recipe collection, Meglio connects to Cloudflare's infrastructure to retrieve the selected content.

During this process, Cloudflare may process technical information, including IP addresses, request timestamps, and connection information, for content delivery, security, and service operation.

Downloaded recipe collections are stored locally on the user's device and can be accessed offline without an active internet connection.

Cloudflare is not used to synchronize or back up users' personal recipes, shopping lists, or other user-created content.

https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/

6. Sharing Recipes and Information

Meglio allows users to share recipes voluntarily through supported sharing features.

When users choose to share a recipe, the selected content may be transferred to another application or service chosen by the user.

The receiving application or service processes shared information according to its own privacy policy.

Meglio does not automatically transmit personal recipes or shopping lists to the developer for advertising purposes.

Meglio does not sell users' personal information.

7. Data Storage and Deletion

User-created recipes, shopping lists, meal plans, and associated local information remain on the device until users modify or delete them.

Users can manage and delete content through the App's available features.

Deleting individual recipes or photographs may leave residual image files in the App's private storage.

To remove all locally stored App data, users can clear the App's storage through Android settings or uninstall Meglio.

The exact settings path may vary by Android device.

Original imported files and photographs stored outside Meglio are not deleted.

The current version does not provide cloud backup or recovery of personal content. Clearing App data or uninstalling the App may permanently delete locally stored recipes and other information.

Because Meglio does not require user accounts, there is no Meglio account to delete.

The developer cannot remotely access or delete personal content stored exclusively on the user's device.

8. Data Security

Meglio stores its local database and copies of recipe photographs in the App's private storage area, using Android's access protections.

The App does not configure automatic cloud backups of its own data.

Users are encouraged to protect their devices with screen locks and keep Android updated.

No method of electronic storage or transmission can guarantee absolute security.

9. Support and Privacy Requests

When users contact the developer by email, the developer may receive their email address and any information voluntarily included in the message, including attachments or screenshots.

This information is used to respond to inquiries, provide support, and handle privacy-related requests.

Support communications are retained as necessary to resolve the request and any related follow-up, subject to applicable legal obligations.

Users should avoid sending passwords, unnecessary sensitive information, or personal information belonging to other individuals.

10. User Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable law and jurisdiction, users may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or request copies of personal information, and to object to certain processing activities.

For information stored exclusively on the device, users can manage their data through Meglio and Android settings.

For personal information provided directly to the developer, users may submit privacy requests to:

daniele.vinciguerra@icloud.com

Users may also have the right to contact a competent data protection authority or privacy regulator.

11. External Services and Links

Meglio may interact with external services when users explicitly request certain actions.

These include:

• Cloudflare, for recipe collection downloads.

• Android system components, for camera, file selection, and sharing.

• External browsers or applications, when users open recipe links.

• Email services, when users contact the developer.

These services may process information according to their own privacy policies.

12. Privacy Policy Website

This Privacy Policy is published using Google Sites.

When users visit the website, Google may process technical information according to its privacy policy:

https://policies.google.com/privacy

Visiting this website is separate from the App's local recipe management functionality.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when Meglio introduces new features, services, or data-processing activities.

The latest revision date will be displayed at the beginning of this document.

Where required by applicable law, users will receive additional information or be asked for appropriate permissions or consent before new processing activities begin.
