Yakacook - Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 24/06/2025

Yakacook respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you use the Yakacook mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

• Your email address, required to create an account.
• A password, stored in encrypted form.
• Recipes and related information you manually enter or scan.
• Anonymous usage data to improve the service (non-personal).

We do not collect sensitive personal information (such as health data or payment details).

2. Use of Your Information

Your information is used to:

• Create and manage your account.
• Synchronize your recipes across devices.
• Provide the recipe scanning service via third-party AI providers.
• Improve the app's functionality and performance.
• Allow account recovery.

We never sell your personal information to third parties.

3. Third-Party Services

When using the recipe scanning feature, your recipe content may be sent to AI service providers such as:

• OpenAI (ChatGPT)
• Anthropic (Claude)

These services only receive the recipe content for analysis. Your email and password are never shared with them.

Yakacook has no control over how third-party providers process your data beyond the service provided. Please review their privacy policies for more details.

4. Data Storage and Security

• Your recipes and related information are stored on Yakacook servers.
• Your email and password are encrypted.
• Shared shopping lists use unique URLs. You can revoke access at any time.

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data. However, no system can guarantee absolute security.

We retain your data for as long as your account exists. You may request account deletion at any time, which will permanently erase your data from our servers, except for data we may be required to retain by law.
