This Privacy Policy explains what information Mealkit ("the App," "we," "us") collects, how we use it, and what choices you have. We built this policy to describe exactly what the App actually does — nothing more.
When you type ingredients into Mealkit, that text is sent to our AI/LLM service provider to generate recipe and meal suggestions. This ingredient text may be retained by us to power features like saved pantry lists and recipe history.
If you use the receipt-scan or barcode-scan feature, the photo you capture or select is processed to extract ingredient and product information (for example, via text/barcode recognition and AI processing). The image itself is not stored — it is used only to extract the ingredient data, and then discarded. We do not build a photo library of your receipts or food.
Creating an account is entirely optional and never required to use the App. If you choose to sign in with Apple, we receive a unique identifier and, depending on your Apple ID sharing choices, your name and email (or Apple's private relay email). We use this to sync your saved recipes, pantry list, and preferences across your devices via our backend provider (Supabase). If you don't sign in, the App still works fully as an anonymous user, and we still maintain an anonymous device/user identifier so your data persists between sessions.
We use PostHog, a product analytics service, to understand how people use Mealkit — for example, which screens are viewed, which features are used, and general app performance. This includes device and usage information such as app events, screen views, and general device metadata (like OS version). This data helps us improve the App; it is not used to build advertising profiles or to track you across other companies' apps or websites.
Subscription purchases are processed by Apple and managed for us by RevenueCat, a subscription-management service. RevenueCat and Apple share with us purchase and subscription status information (such as which plan you're on and whether your trial or subscription is active) so we can unlock the features you've paid for. We do not receive or store your full payment/card details — those are handled entirely by Apple.
We use the information above to:
We share information only with the service providers who help us operate the App, and only as needed for them to provide that service:
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your information with third parties for their own advertising purposes.
Mealkit is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above.
