Privacy policy

Effective 6 August 2026

Kitchen Squirrel is a household recipe, meal-planning and shopping app. This page describes what the app collects and what happens to it. The short version: it collects only what it needs to work, shows no adverts, and never sells your data or shares it with anyone for their own purposes.

What we collect

• Your email address — used to sign you in (we email you a code) and to identify your account.
• Content you create — recipes you save, meal plans, shopping lists, cooking history, ratings, and leftovers you record. Recipes captured from the web are stored as structured data with a link back to the original source.
• A push notification token, only if you enable notifications on your device.

If you scan a recipe with your camera, the photo is processed to extract the recipe text and is not stored; location metadata is removed on your device before anything is sent.

How it is used

Solely to provide the app: syncing your household's recipes and plans between devices, building shopping lists, and sending sign-in codes. There is no advertising, no tracking for advertising, and no sale of personal data.

Service providers

The app runs on infrastructure operated by a small number of processors, each used only for the purpose stated: Supabase (database hosting), Resend (delivering sign-in and invitation emails), OpenRouter (parsing recipe text during capture — recipe text only, never your account details), Sentry (crash reports so faults can be fixed), and Expo (delivering app updates and push notifications). All data is encrypted in transit.

Sharing between households

Your recipes, notes and plans are visible only to members of your own household. The app's Discover feature shares only a recipe's public metadata — its title, source link and image link — never your notes, edits or any other household content.

Retention and deletion

Your data is kept while your account is active. To delete your account and all associated data, email [email protected] and it will be removed.

Children

Kitchen Squirrel is intended for adults and is not directed at children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date above will be updated and this page will always hold the current version.
