Privacy Policy

Effective July 16, 2026

Short version: we store your email address and your recipes and meal plans. We don't have your password (none exists), we never see your card number, and there are no ads, trackers, or analytics. We can't lose what we don't collect.

What we store

  • Your email address — it's your login and how we send sign-in links.
  • Your recipes, meal plans, and household membership — the content of the service.
  • Operational records — standard server logs (IP, request path, timestamp) kept briefly for security and debugging, plus counts of how many recipe imports and AI parses you've used, for fair-use limits.
  • If you subscribe: your Stripe customer reference and subscription status. Your card details go to Stripe directly and never touch our servers.

What we deliberately don't have

  • No passwords — sign-in links replace them entirely.
  • No advertising, ad networks, analytics, or tracking pixels.
  • No sale or sharing of your data with anyone, full stop.

Cookies

One essential cookie keeps you signed in. That's the whole list. Your device also keeps small local preferences (like your current meal selection and shopping check-offs) in your browser's own storage; they never leave your device except as part of saved plans.

Who processes data for us

  • DigitalOcean — hosts the service.
  • Amazon Web Services — encrypted database backups.
  • Resend — delivers sign-in emails.
  • Stripe — payments, if you subscribe.
  • Anthropic — when a recipe is cleaned up with AI, the recipe text (never your personal data) may be processed by their API.

Sharing inside the service

Recipes you publish to the shared pool are visible to all users, credited to nobody. Recipes and plans you keep private are visible only to you — and to your household members if you join a household, which is the point of households. Leaving a household ends that visibility both ways.

Your rights

You can delete your account yourself at any time: Account → Danger zone → Delete my account. Deletion removes your account, private recipes, and plans, and cancels any active subscription; recipes you published to the shared pool stay in the pool (they carry no personal information). For a copy of your data, or anything else, email support@reelmealsapp.com.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, we'll flag it in the app.
