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.
