Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to TastySave ("the App," "the Service," "we," "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, which service providers may process it, how long it is retained, and the rights available to you.

Information we collect

We may collect and process the following types of information:

• Your email address, display name, and internal user identifier when you register or sign in through Firebase Authentication, Google, or Apple.
• Links, text, descriptions, website information, images, or screenshots you choose to submit for recipe extraction.
• Recipes you generate or save, including titles, ingredients, preparation steps, labels, favorites, and personal notes.
• Subscription status, TastySave Pro entitlement, and information relating to purchases made through Google Play or the App Store.
• General technical information, such as device type, operating system, language, general country or region, app version, and technical performance information.
• Device identifiers and advertising identifiers that may be processed through advertising, attribution, security, and fraud-prevention services.
• App usage and interaction data when measurement tools are enabled in the applicable app version.
• A hashed device identifier or similar technical information used to prevent quota abuse, fraud, and misuse of the Service.

How we use your information

We use information to:

• Extract, process, and convert submitted content into a structured written recipe.
• Save, synchronize, edit, and organize recipes in your account.
• Operate shopping lists, labels, favorites, and other app features.
• Manage usage limits, subscriptions, scan packages, and access to paid features.
• Display advertising to free-tier users.
• Measure performance, attribution, installations, and marketing campaigns.
• Provide customer support.
• Secure the Service, prevent fraud and misuse, and comply with legal requirements.
• Develop and improve the App and its services.

Artificial intelligence processing

To extract or generate a structured recipe, content you choose to submit, such as a link, text, description, information extracted from a webpage, image, or screenshot, may be sent for automated processing by third-party artificial intelligence and optical-character-recognition providers.

These providers may include Google Gemini, Google Cloud Vision, and OpenAI. They receive only the content reasonably required to perform the extraction or processing operation.

TastySave does not send your email address, sign-in credentials, or personal notes attached to saved recipes to these AI providers.

Images submitted for scanning are processed to create the recipe and are not retained by us as personal user images, unless we expressly state otherwise in the future. Processing providers may temporarily retain information in accordance with their own terms and privacy policies.

Content and link extraction services

When you submit a link from a website or social platform, the link and information available through it may be processed using content-extraction providers or APIs, including Apify, RapidAPI, YouTube Data API, and similar technical services.

These services are used to locate the content you requested and convert it into a structured recipe.

Personal notes and saved content

Personal notes you add to a recipe are intended for your private use. They may be stored in your Firebase account for synchronization, but they are not sent to AI providers for recipe generation.

Users who are not signed in may store certain information locally on their device. After registration or sign-in, some information may be transferred to the user account to enable backup and cross-device synchronization.

Third-party services

We may rely on the following service providers to operate the Service. Each provider processes information under its own privacy policy and applicable contractual terms:

• Firebase Authentication, Firestore & Cloud Functions — Account management, storage, synchronization, security, and backend processing.
• Google Gemini — AI processing and recipe extraction.
• Google Cloud Vision — Optical character recognition (OCR) from images and screenshots.
• OpenAI — AI processing for recipe extraction and generation.
• Apify — Extracting content from links and supported social platforms.
• RapidAPI — Content-extraction APIs.
• YouTube Data API — Retrieving metadata from YouTube videos.
• RevenueCat — Managing subscriptions, purchase status, and premium entitlement.
• Google Play Billing & Apple App Store — Processing purchases and subscriptions.
• Google AdMob — Displaying advertising in the free version.
• AppsFlyer — Attribution, campaign measurement, and marketing analytics.
• Meta App Events — Install measurement and app-event tracking.
• Google Play Services & Apple services — Platform functionality, authentication, and purchases.

Each provider processes information under its own privacy policy and applicable contractual terms.

Subscriptions and purchases

Purchases and subscriptions are processed through Google Play or the Apple App Store. TastySave does not receive or store your complete payment-card number.

We use RevenueCat to manage subscription status, paid-feature entitlement, and an internal user identifier associated with the purchase.

Certain transaction records may be retained for accounting, fraud prevention, dispute handling, purchase restoration, and legal-compliance purposes.

Advertising and Ad Choices

TastySave uses Google AdMob to display advertising in the free version of the App. Depending on the App configuration, your consent, your region, and device settings, advertisements may be served as non-personalized advertisements.

Advertising identifiers and technical information may be used to deliver ads, measure performance, limit frequency, attribute campaigns, and prevent fraud.

Where consent is required, the App may present privacy or consent choices before enabling certain advertising services. You may also manage advertising preferences through your device and Google or Apple account settings.

Usage measurement and analytics

In certain app versions, including internal testing versions, we may use Firebase Analytics and other measurement tools to understand how the App is used and to improve the Service.

The usage events we design for measurement are not intended to contain your email address, full recipe content, personal notes, complete search text, or complete submitted URLs.

The use of measurement tools in the public production version may vary according to the App configuration and applicable privacy preferences.

Data retention and security

We use reasonable and commonly accepted security safeguards, including encryption in transit, access controls, and secure cloud services.

Information associated with an account is generally retained while the account is active or while it is required to provide the Service. After account deletion, we delete or disassociate personal information and user content from the account, subject to the exceptions described in this Policy.

Limited records may be retained for longer where required for legal, accounting, tax, security, fraud prevention, quota enforcement, dispute resolution, or Service-integrity purposes.

Information may remain temporarily in backup systems or with service providers according to backup cycles, legal requirements, and the retention policies of those providers.

No security system can guarantee absolute protection, but we work to reduce risk and safeguard information.

International data transfers

TastySave and its service providers may process or store information in countries other than the country where you live. Where required, we rely on appropriate contractual and legal safeguards for international transfers of personal information.

Guest users and local information

Users who are not signed in may use the App as guests. Recipes, shopping lists, and certain settings may be stored locally on the device.

Uninstalling the App or clearing its data may delete local information that has not been synchronized. Information stored in an account or cloud systems is not necessarily deleted merely by uninstalling the App.

For questions or requests concerning guest-related information, contact support@tastysave.app.

Your rights

Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the requester's identity, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction or objection to processing, withdrawal of consent, and data portability.

Requests may be submitted to support@tastysave.app.

Children's privacy

The Service is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information may contact us to request its deletion.
