Privacy Policy
MyCookbook - Recipe Box
1. Overview
ALSTIG INC ("we," "our," or "us") built MyCookbook - Recipe Box (the "App") as a personal recipe management tool. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with your use of the App. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
MyCookbook - Recipe Box is designed with your privacy in mind. The App stores all recipe data locally on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or store any of the following:
- Your recipes, photos, or ingredients
- Your name, email address, or contact information
- Your location data
- Any usage analytics or behavioral data
- Device identifiers or advertising IDs
3. Local Storage
All recipe content you create or import — including text, photos, ingredients, and instructions — is stored exclusively on your device. This data never leaves your device unless you choose to export or share it using the App's built-in sharing features.
4. Camera and Photo Library Access
The App may request access to your camera and photo library to allow you to:
- Scan recipes using OCR (optical character recognition)
- Add photos to your recipes
- Import recipe images from your photo library
Images captured or selected are processed locally on your device and are not uploaded to any server or shared with third parties.
5. Subscription and Payment Information
MyCookbook - Recipe Box offers optional auto-renewable subscriptions (MyCookbook Pro) processed entirely through Apple's App Store. We do not collect or have access to your payment information. All billing is handled by Apple in accordance with their privacy policy and terms of service. For information about how Apple handles your payment data, please refer to Apple's Privacy Policy at apple.com/legal/privacy.
6. Third-Party Services
The App uses RevenueCat to manage in-app subscription status. RevenueCat may collect limited technical data (such as your Apple-assigned anonymous subscriber ID) solely for the purpose of validating and managing your subscription. RevenueCat does not receive your recipe data or personal information. You can review RevenueCat's privacy practices at revenuecat.com/privacy.
7. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through the App, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.
8. Data Security
Because all your recipe data is stored locally on your device, its security is protected by your device's built-in security features. We recommend using a strong passcode or biometric lock on your device to protect your data.
9. Your Rights (CCPA / GDPR)
Although MyCookbook - Recipe Box stores data locally and collects minimal personal information, we respect your privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You have the right to:
- Access — request details about what personal data we process
- Deletion — request deletion of any personal data we hold. You can also delete all local App data by removing the App from your device
- Portability — receive your data in a portable format
- Opt-out of sale — we do not sell your personal information to third parties
- Non-discrimination — exercising your rights will not affect the service you receive
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@alstiginc.com. We will respond within 30 days (CCPA) or without undue delay and no later than one month (GDPR).
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the App after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
