Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4/16/2025

Introduction

At PrepMate, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle your data with transparency and respect for your privacy.

Data Storage and Collection

PrepMate is designed with privacy at its core. By default, all your recipe data, shopping lists, and meal plans are stored locally on your device. We do not collect, store, or transmit any of your recipe or personal data to external servers unless you explicitly choose to enable cloud sync through our premium features.

Local Data Storage

  • Recipes and recipe collections
  • Shopping lists
  • Meal plans
  • App preferences and settings

Premium Features and Cloud Sync

If you choose to upgrade to our premium features, you can optionally enable cloud sync to access your recipes across multiple devices. This requires storing your recipe data on our secure servers. Cloud sync is entirely optional and can be disabled at any time.

Website Analytics

Our website uses privacy-focused analytics to collect anonymous usage data. This helps us improve the app experience. The analytics data collected includes:

  • Page views
  • Referring websites
  • General location data (country level)
  • Device type and app version

This data is anonymized and cannot be used to identify individual users.

Payment Processing

When you purchase a premium subscription, the payment is handled securely by our payment provider. We do not store your payment information. We only maintain necessary subscription status information to validate your access to premium features.

Data Sharing

We do not share any personal data with third parties. Anonymous analytics data may be processed by our analytics provider under strict privacy agreements.

Your Rights and Control

You have the right to:

  • Keep your recipe data completely local
  • Enable or disable cloud sync at any time
  • Export your recipe data
  • Delete your account and all associated data
  • Opt-out of analytics collection

Children's Privacy

PrepMate is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect any data from children under 13.

Changes to Privacy Policy

Users will be notified of any changes to this privacy policy via email and/or in-app notifications. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
