Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Account information

When you create or use a We Cook account, we may collect information associated with your account, such as:

We Cook does not store your account password in its application database. Authentication is handled through our authentication provider.

• your name;
• your email address;
• authentication information provided through our authentication service; and
• your preferred language and account settings.

Recipe content

We store the content you choose to save in We Cook, including information such as:

Your personal recipes are associated with your We Cook account.

• recipe titles and descriptions;
• ingredients and quantities;
• preparation instructions;
• tags;
• servings and preparation, cooking, or resting times;
• recipe images;
• source information; and
• other information you choose to include in a recipe.

ChatGPT integration

If you connect We Cook to ChatGPT, ChatGPT may request information from We Cook or perform actions on your behalf, depending on your request and the permissions you have granted.

This may include retrieving, searching, creating, updating, or deleting recipes in your We Cook account.

We Cook only provides access to recipes associated with the authenticated We Cook account.

Information you provide directly to ChatGPT is also subject to OpenAI's own terms and privacy practices.

Technical information

We may collect limited technical information necessary to operate, secure, monitor, and improve the service, such as:

We do not intentionally include passwords, authentication tokens, or recipe content in application logs unless technically necessary to investigate a specific issue.

• request and error information;
• timestamps;
• device or browser information where available;
• authentication and security events; and
• service performance information.

Support information

If you contact We Cook through our support form, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, the nature of your request, and your message.

2. How We Use Information

We use information collected through We Cook to:

We do not sell your personal information.

We do not use your personal recipes for advertising.

• provide and operate the We Cook service;
• authenticate users and protect their accounts;
• store and manage personal recipes;
• provide search and recipe management features;
• enable integrations such as ChatGPT;
• respond to support and account deletion requests;
• maintain the security and reliability of the service;
• diagnose errors and technical problems; and
• comply with applicable legal obligations.

3. Service Providers

We Cook relies on third-party service providers to operate parts of the service, including services for hosting, database and file storage, authentication, monitoring, and integrations.

These providers may process information only as necessary to provide their services to We Cook and are subject to their own contractual and privacy obligations.

When you connect We Cook to a third-party service such as ChatGPT, information exchanged with that service is also subject to that provider's privacy practices.

4. Recipe Privacy and Account Access

Personal recipes are associated with a We Cook account.

We Cook uses the authenticated account to determine which personal recipes a user is authorized to access or modify.

Users are not intended to have access to personal recipes belonging to other users unless a future sharing feature explicitly provides such access.

5. Data Retention

We retain account information and recipe content while your We Cook account remains active or for as long as necessary to provide the service.

If you request deletion of your account, we will delete or anonymize the personal information and content associated with your account from our active systems within a reasonable period, subject to technical, security, legal, and operational requirements.

Residual copies may remain temporarily in backups or systems maintained by our service providers until those copies are overwritten or expire according to their normal retention processes.

We may retain limited information for longer where reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud or abuse, resolve disputes, or protect the security of the service.

6. Account and Data Deletion

You may request deletion of your We Cook account and associated personal data through the support form available on the We Cook website.

We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before processing a deletion request in order to prevent unauthorized deletion of an account.

Once a valid deletion request has been processed, the account and associated personal content will no longer be available through We Cook.

7. Security

We Cook uses reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

No online service can guarantee absolute security.

If you believe you have identified a security or privacy issue involving We Cook, please contact us through our support page.

8. International Use

We Cook may be available to users in multiple countries.

Depending on where you use the service, your information may be processed in countries other than your country of residence, including locations where our service providers operate.

Where required, we take appropriate measures regarding international transfers of personal information.

9. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information, which may include the right to:

You can submit a privacy request through our support page.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

• access personal information we hold about you;
• correct inaccurate information;
• request deletion of your information;
• object to or restrict certain processing; or
• request information about how your personal information is used.

10. Children's Privacy

We Cook is not intended for children who are not legally permitted to use the service without parental or guardian consent under applicable law.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to We Cook inappropriately, please contact us through our support page.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as We Cook evolves or as legal requirements change.

When we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page and provide additional notice where required.
