ChefsCabinet Privacy Policy

Version 1.0 — Effective July 11, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] ("ChefsCabinet," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the ChefsCabinet website, mobile apps, and related services (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide.

  • Account information — such as your email address, display name, and password (stored only in hashed form).
  • Your content — recipes, photos, notes, tags, collections, meal plans, and shopping lists you create, upload, or import, and material you import from URLs, photos, or text.
  • Sharing information — the email addresses or households you choose to share content with, and invitations you send.
  • Communications — messages you send us for support.

Information collected automatically.

  • Usage and device data — such as app version, device type and operating system, general log information, and how you interact with features. We may use cookies or similar technologies on the website to keep you signed in and to operate the Service.

We do not intentionally collect payment card numbers directly; if paid subscriptions are offered, payments would be handled by a third-party payment processor under its own terms and privacy policy.

2. How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • provide, maintain, and improve the Service and its features;
  • create and secure your account and authenticate you;
  • process and store your content and enable the sharing you choose;
  • power recipe import and AI-assisted features (see Section 4);
  • respond to your requests and provide support;
  • monitor for, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security incidents, and violations of our Terms; and
  • comply with legal obligations.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

On the website we use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary to sign you in and keep your session active, and to remember basic preferences. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect how the Service works.

4. AI and Automated Processing

Some features send content you submit — such as a recipe URL, photo, or text — to automated systems and third-party AI providers to extract, structure, categorize, or suggest recipes and related information. We send only what is needed to provide the feature. AI output can be inaccurate; it is provided for convenience and is not professional, nutritional, or medical advice.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as follows:

  • At your direction — with the users, households, or via the public links you choose when you share content.
  • Service providers — with vendors who host and operate the Service on our behalf (for example, cloud hosting and storage, email delivery, and AI processing providers), under obligations to protect the information and use it only to provide services to us.
  • Legal and safety — when we believe disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with the law, enforce our Terms, or protect the rights, property, or safety of ChefsCabinet, our users, or the public.
  • Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to this Policy.

6. Data Retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. When you delete content or your account, we delete or de-identify the associated information within a reasonable period, except where we must retain it to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, or where copies remain in routine backups for a limited time. Content you shared with others may remain visible to them where they have separately saved it.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information, including encryption in transit and hashed passwords. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please protect your password and notify us of any suspected unauthorized access at [SUPPORT EMAIL].

8. Your Choices and Rights

  • Access and update — you can view and edit your account details and content in the app.
  • Delete — you can delete your content or your account.
  • Sharing — you can revoke shares and public links you have created.
  • Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights (such as to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing). To exercise these rights, contact us at [SUPPORT EMAIL]. We will respond as required by applicable law.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us at [SUPPORT EMAIL] and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

10. International Users

We may process and store information in countries other than where you live, including the United States. Where required, we take steps to ensure appropriate protection for information transferred across borders.

11. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the version and effective date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after an update takes effect means you accept the updated Policy.
