What stays on your phone

Your answers (training, allergies, foods you don't eat, time, who you cook for), your plan and shopping list, your daily goals, plates and their photos, recipes you add, saved dishes and badges. Without an account, nothing leaves your phone except problem reports and purchase checks (below).

What goes online when you sign in

• Your email address (or your Apple or Google sign-in), to sign you in.
• A copy of the things above, so they come back on another phone: including your allergies, the foods you skip, your goals and your week plan.
• Plate photos, made smaller first.

It is stored with Supabase in the EU (Ireland). Only you can read it.

Your body details stay on the phone

The goals calculator asks for age, sex, height and weight to work out a starting number. Those are kept on this phone only and are never sent online.

Allergies

Your allergies and the foods you skip are only used to hide dishes or suggest swaps. We don't share them with anyone.

Usage statistics (only if you say yes)

The first time you set up Cookpath it asks, "Help make Cookpath better?". If you say no, nothing is sent and nothing starts. If you say yes, the app sends simple counts to PostHog (a service in the EU) so we can see which parts of the app are used: which screen opened, which dish was opened or cooked, whether Pick one, the shopping list or the paywall was used. It carries no name, no email, no recipes, no photos, no body details and no allergies. PostHog does receive your internet address and a random id the app makes (so one phone counts once). Nobody is looked up or followed across apps, and there is no screen recording. You can turn it off in Settings at any time.

What we don't do

No ads and no tracking across other apps or sites. We never sell or share your data.

Camera and photos

Used only when you take or pick a plate photo. We don't look at your other photos. Saving a share card puts one picture in your gallery when you tap Save.

Problem reports

When something in the app fails (a recipe link that won't import, a sync or purchase error), the app sends us a short automatic report: what failed, the screen, the app version, the phone model and your internet address, kept for up to 60 days. It does not include your email, your account or the link you pasted. A report you send yourself (Settings → Report a problem) is different: it carries your account, so we can write back.

Copied links

When you open the app with a link copied, Cookpath reads it to offer to import it. The link stays on your phone unless you import it.

Creator videos

Dish pages link to the creator's own video on Pinterest or YouTube. Cookpath hosts none of them. Tapping a link opens it in that app or your browser, and we send nothing about you to them; what you do there falls under their own terms.

Delete it all

Settings → Delete account removes your account and everything in it, online and on this phone, at once. Signing out keeps everything on the phone. No longer have the app? Email cookpathapp@gmail.com from your account's email address and we delete the account and everything in it within 30 days.

Purchases

Paid by Google or Apple; we never see your card. A purchase service (RevenueCat) tells the app whether you have Plus, using your account id when you are signed in, and a random app id when you are not.

Who else handles your data

• Supabase (EU, Ireland): your account and the copy of your data, if you sign in.
• PostHog (EU): the simple usage counts, only if you said yes.
• RevenueCat (United States): checks whether you have Plus. It gets your account id (or a random app id when you are signed out) and your purchases, never your card.
• Resend (United States): delivers the problem-report emails to us.
• Google or Apple: your sign-in and your payments, under their own terms.

We sell nothing and share nothing with advertisers.

How long we keep it

Your account data stays until you delete your account (Settings → Delete account); then it, your photos and your recipes are deleted. Problem reports are deleted after 60 days. Purchase records may be kept as long as Google, Apple or the law require.

Your rights

You can see, correct and delete your data. Most of it is right in the app; for anything else, or to have your usage counts deleted, email cookpathapp@gmail.com. If you think we handled your data wrongly, you can complain to your data protection authority.

Children

Cookpath is not made for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you are under 16, ask a parent before you make an account.
