Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

MyCookMate ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use the MyCookMate mobile application.

Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and a password (stored securely, never in plain text).
• Recipe Data: Recipes you import, create, or modify within the app, including URLs, ingredients, and instructions.
• Usage Data: Anonymous analytics about how you use the app (e.g., features used, session length) to help us improve MyCookMate.
• Device Information: Basic device identifiers and operating system version for troubleshooting purposes.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain the MyCookMate service
• To sync your recipes across devices
• To process recipe imports from external URLs
• To send important service announcements (not marketing spam)
• To improve app performance and fix bugs

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymized, aggregated data for analytics purposes. We use trusted third-party services to operate our infrastructure (such as AWS), all of whom are bound by strict data processing agreements.

Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at support@mycookmate.io.

Security

We take data security seriously. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We use industry-standard practices to protect your information, though no system can be 100% guaranteed to be secure.

Children's Privacy

MyCookMate is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@mycookmate.io.
