When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and a password. When you use the app, we collect the recipes, meal plans, and grocery lists you create. We also log AI feature usage (such as recipe imports) to monitor platform performance and costs.

• To provide and operate the FreshList service
• To process AI-powered recipe imports on your behalf
• To send account-related emails such as email verification and password resets
• To monitor and improve platform performance
• To detect and prevent abuse

When you use AI import features (URL, text, or photo), the content you provide is sent to a third-party AI provider (Anthropic) to extract recipe information. This content is processed according to Anthropic's privacy and data usage policies. We do not use your recipe content to train AI models.

We do not sell your personal information. We share data with third parties only as necessary to operate the service (such as our AI provider) or as required by law. Public recipes you choose to publish are visible to all users of the platform.

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your personal information and private recipes will be removed. Public recipes may remain on the platform or be retained in anonymised form.

We take reasonable measures to protect your data, including encrypted passwords and HTTPS connections. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

FreshList uses session cookies to keep you logged in and to maintain application state. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies.

You may update or delete your account information at any time through the Settings page. If you would like to request a full export or deletion of your data, please contact us through the app.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes where possible. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, please contact us through the app.
