8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide functionality and improve your experience. For detailed information, please see our Cookie Policy.

We count a small set of product steps, such as preview started, signup completed, preferences completed, and recipe generated. These funnel events store only the event name, page, acquisition source, and time; they do not include email, recipe contents, or raw IP addresses. Local storage remembers the time of your last visit so we can count a return after at least 24 hours.

9. Third-Party AI Services

RecipeReborn uses third-party AI services to generate recipes. The ingredient inputs you provide may be processed by these AI services. We ensure that our AI partners maintain appropriate security and privacy standards, but you should be aware that your data is processed by third parties as part of the recipe generation process.

10. Children's Privacy

RecipeReborn is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
