Mummy's Cooking — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 21 June 2026
1. Overview
Mummy's Cooking is a personal recipe management application designed to help you store and manage recipes, photos, videos, and audio notes. This Privacy
Policy explains how the app handles your information and device permissions. Mummy's Cooking is offline-first: by default, your content stays on your device.
2. Information We Collect
- User-provided content (stored locally): recipes, ingredients, notes, tags, photos, audio notes, and videos that you choose to add.
- App settings (stored locally): your preferences, such as theme, dietary profile, and kitchen settings.
- No personal data collection by default: Mummy's Cooking does not collect, transmit, or share personal information by default. The app does not require an account, and your content stays on your device.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information only to provide app features, such as:
- Saving and displaying recipes and media
- Searching and organizing your recipe library
- On-device features such as nutrition estimates, allergen/dietary flags, and ingredient substitutions (computed locally — see Section 12)
- Enabling optional import/export backups you initiate
We do not sell your data.
4. Offline-First & Local Storage
By default, your content is stored locally on your device (e.g., an SQLite database and local file storage). The app does not require internet connectivity for core functionality. If we ever introduce an optional cloud sync or backup feature in the future, we will clearly explain what data would be synced and provide controls before anything leaves your device.
5. Permissions
Mummy's Cooking may request the following permissions so specific features can work:
- Camera (android.permission.CAMERA / iOS Camera): Used only when you choose to take photos or record videos for recipes (e.g., dishes, cooking steps). Captured media is stored locally on your device unless you choose to share it.
- Microphone (android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO / iOS Microphone): Used only when you choose to record audio notes or record video with sound.
- Photos / Media / Storage: Used to let you select existing photos/videos, save recipe media locally, and support import/export backups. Exported files are created only when you explicitly request export, and saved to a location you choose.
You can deny these permissions in your device settings. Denying permissions may limit certain features but does not block general app use.
6. Data Sharing
Mummy's Cooking does not share your data with third parties. The only time your data can leave your device is when you explicitly choose to:
- Share content using your device's share options, or
- Export backups and move them yourself
7. Import/Export Feature
The app includes import/export features that allow you to create backup files (for example, ZIP backups). These backups may contain recipes and media. You are responsible for how you store and share exported files.
8. Advertising
Mummy's Cooking does not display its own advertising and does not include third-party advertising or ad-tracking SDKs in the app.
9. In-App Browser & Third-Party Websites
The app includes an optional in-app browser so you can find and import recipes from websites you choose to visit. Those websites are operated by third parties we do not own or control. They may show their own advertising, use cookies, and collect data under their own privacy policies. We have no control over, and accept no responsibility for, the content, advertising, tracking, availability, or practices of any third-party website, and we do not receive your browsing activity from them. Recipe content you import is provided by the source website; you are responsible for ensuring you have the right to save and use it.
10. Third-Party Services (Analytics)
Currently, Mummy's Cooking does not include third-party analytics or tracking SDKs. If this changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any required choices or controls.
11. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect on-device data, but no method is 100% secure. We recommend keeping your device protected (e.g., passcode/biometrics) and storing backups safely.
12. Health, Allergen & Nutrition Information
Features such as allergen/dietary flags, nutrition estimates, and ingredient substitutions are generated automatically on your device and are approximate. They are provided for general information and convenience only and are not medical, dietary, nutritional, or food-safety advice. Always check original ingredient labels and consult a qualified professional if you have a food allergy, intolerance, or medical condition. See our Terms of Service for the full disclaimer.
13. Children's Privacy
Mummy's Cooking is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted with an updated "Last updated" date.
