Privacy Policy

Dinner Found may process account information, such as your email address and authentication information, so you can create and access your account. Passwords are not stored in plain text. If you sign in through Google, Dinner Found may receive the basic profile information Google provides for authentication.

You may enter family-member information such as names or nicknames, household roles, age categories, likes, dislikes, texture preferences, notes, dietary restrictions, and allergies. This information is provided by you, the account holder, and is used to personalize the Dinner Found experience.

You may enter pantry or kitchen information, including ingredients, quantities, categories, brands, and expiration dates. Dinner Found uses this information to suggest meals you can make from what you have on hand.

Dinner Found may store recipes you save, meals you mark as cooked, meal history, and related information so you can access those features through your account.

You may voluntarily submit recipes, ingredients, instructions, photos, descriptions, and other content to the community area. Community content submitted for public sharing may be visible to other users, consistent with the Terms of Service.

Dinner Found creates some information based on your activity:

• •Meal ideas and weekly plans generated from your pantry and family profiles.
• •Family-tailoring suggestions that adapt a recipe for the people at your table.
• •Records that connect your saved meals, history, and tailoring to your account so you can find them again.

Dinner Found uses the information above to:

• •Suggest and personalize recipes and meal ideas for your household.
• •Generate a weekly meal plan and the shopping list that goes with it.
• •Send you the automated weekly meal-plan and pantry-reminder emails you have enabled.
• •Operate the Community recipe area and show recipes you share to other users.
• •Secure your account and keep one user's information separate from another's.

Dinner Found may use information such as your pantry contents, family profiles, preferences, dietary restrictions, and other information you provide to personalize recipe suggestions. Dinner Found may use AI-assisted systems to generate, adapt, rank, and recommend recipes and meal ideas. When you request a recommendation or adaptation, the information you have provided may be sent to Dinner Found's AI provider as part of generating that response. Dinner Found does not guarantee the accuracy or safety of AI-generated recommendations. See the AI & Recipe Disclaimer.

Dinner Found uses third-party providers as necessary to operate the service, including:

• •An AI provider for certain AI-assisted recipe generation, tailoring, ranking, or recommendations.
• •An email delivery provider for automated emails that you enable.
• •Google, if you choose to sign in with Google.
• •Dinner Found's hosting and database platform, which stores your account and the information described in this policy.
• •Stripe for subscription billing and payment processing.

Stripe processes subscription payments on Dinner Found's behalf. Dinner Found does not store customers' full payment card information.

Your pantry, family profiles, saved meals, meal history, and tailoring information are associated with your account and are not intentionally shared with or made visible to other users. Community recipes that you voluntarily submit for public sharing may be visible to other users.

Recipes you submit to the Community area are public and may be viewed or saved by other users within the app. By sharing a recipe, you understand it will be displayed to others. See the Terms of Service for additional rules regarding user-generated content.

Dinner Found retains personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the service, comply with legal and financial obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and prevent fraud or abuse. Different types of information may be retained for different periods depending on why the information was collected and whether it is still needed.

Account Information

Account information is generally retained while your Dinner Found account is active. When you delete your account, Dinner Found will delete or de-identify account information within a reasonable period, except for information that must or may be retained for legal, security, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, or other legitimate business purposes.

Pantry Information

Pantry items and related information are generally retained while your account is active and are deleted or de-identified when your account is deleted, subject to the exceptions described above.

Family Profiles and Preferences

Family profiles, preferences, dietary settings, and related information are generally retained while your account is active and are deleted or de-identified when your account is deleted, subject to the exceptions described above.

Saved Meals and Meal History

Saved meals, meal history, and related information are generally retained while your account is active and are deleted or de-identified when your account is deleted, subject to the exceptions described above.

Community Recipes and User-Generated Content

Community recipes and other content you submit may be retained while your account is active or until you delete the content, depending on how the community feature operates. Content may also be retained when necessary to maintain records of moderation actions, enforce our Terms, resolve disputes, or comply with legal obligations.

Subscription and Billing Information

Subscription and billing records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to process transactions, maintain accounting and business records, comply with tax and legal requirements, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Stripe processes payment information on Dinner Found's behalf.

Backups and Technical Records

Information may remain temporarily in backups, logs, or other technical systems after deletion while those systems are rotated or overwritten according to normal operational processes. Dinner Found does not promise that every copy of information will be deleted immediately from every system at the exact moment an account or piece of content is deleted.

You can review and change certain information through your Dinner Found account.

Dinner Found will provide an account-deletion function that allows you to request deletion of your account and information associated with it. When an account is deleted, Dinner Found will delete or de-identify associated information within a reasonable period, subject to information that must or may be retained for legal, security, fraud-prevention, accounting, dispute-resolution, backup, or other legitimate purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Community content may be handled separately as described in the Terms of Service and the Community Recipes section of this Privacy Policy.

Dinner Found uses reasonable measures to separate and protect users' information and limits access appropriately. No method of storing or transmitting information can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Dinner Found is not directed toward children under 13, and accounts are intended for adults. Adults may enter limited information about children in their household as part of family profiles, such as age category, preferences, or texture preferences. Dinner Found does not ask children to create accounts or independently provide personal information.

Dinner Found allows users to enter dietary information, such as dietary restrictions and allergies, for the purpose of personalizing recipe recommendations. Users should not enter unnecessary medical diagnoses or other sensitive medical information into the app. Dietary and allergy information is used for personalization and filtering and is subject to the limitations described in the Food, Dietary & Allergy Disclaimer.

Dinner Found does not use your information to build advertising profiles or sell your information.

Dinner Found may update this Privacy Policy. When its practices change materially, Dinner Found will update the effective date above when appropriate. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated policy.
