Last Updated: May 31, 2025

This document outlines the privacy practices of AICookChef ("the Company," "we," "our," or "us") concerning your use of the AI Fridge Chef application ("the Application"). We are committed to transparency regarding how we manage your information and your rights in relation to it.

1. Information We Gather and Its Use

We gather specific types of information to ensure the smooth functioning and continual improvement of the Application:

• Data from Application Interactions: When you utilize the Application, we may automatically log details about your access and usage. This "Interaction Data" can include your device's IP address, browser type and version, the Application pages you visit, the time and date of your visits, how long you spend on those pages, unique device identifiers, and other technical diagnostic details. This information helps us understand user engagement and improve the Application.
• Inputs for Recipe Generation: Details you submit for recipe creation—like ingredient lists, serving sizes, language choices, and dietary notes—are used exclusively to generate the recipe you request. These inputs are processed to enable the AI recipe generation and are not retained in a manner that personally identifies you beyond what is necessary for immediate service improvement or troubleshooting.

2. Application of Collected Data

AICookChef employs the data it gathers for several primary reasons:

• To operate and sustain the core features of the Application, chiefly recipe generation.
• To conduct analytics that inform us about Application usage, allowing us to refine the user experience.
• To pinpoint, address, and prevent technical malfunctions.
• To improve the Application’s functionalities and the performance of our AI models, typically through the use of anonymized or aggregated data insights whenever feasible.

3. Conditions for Data Disclosure

We might disclose your information if we genuinely believe such action is required:

• To meet a legal requirement or react to valid legal requests.
• To safeguard and uphold the rights, property, or safety of AICookChef.
• To examine or stop potential misconduct related to the Application.
• To protect the personal safety of Application users or the general public.

AICookChef does not monetize your personal data by selling it to third-party entities.

4. Data Security Measures

Ensuring the safety of your data is our highest priority, and we strive to uphold its protection with unwavering dedication. Nevertheless, it's important to recognize that no internet transmission method or electronic storage system is entirely foolproof. While we endeavor to use commercially viable methods to safeguard your information, we cannot assure its complete security.

We may work with third-party firms and individuals ("Service Providers") to support our Application, deliver Application-related services, or help us analyze Application usage.
