6. AI processing
Third-party AI. AI features are powered by third-party providers (including OpenAI). Your prompts and relevant context (e.g. ingredients, stored preferences) may be transmitted to generate responses.
Voice. Live Voice and speech features may process audio on your device and transmit audio or transcripts to our servers and AI providers for the duration of the session.
Accuracy. AI output may be incorrect or unsuitable for your dietary or health needs. You are responsible for verifying ingredients, allergens, and safety before cooking or consuming food.
Training. We configure AI services for product use. We do not intentionally provide your personal data to AI providers for public model training beyond what their API terms permit.
Safety. We may pass a pseudonymous user identifier to AI providers for abuse prevention and safety, as supported by our integration.
7. Legal bases
Depending on your jurisdiction, we rely on:
- Contract — to provide the Service you signed up for
- Consent — optional health data, camera, microphone
- Legitimate interests — security, fraud prevention, proportionate product improvement
- Legal obligation — where required by law
You may withdraw consent where processing is consent-based, without affecting prior lawful processing.
9. International transfers
Your data may be processed in India, the United States, and other countries where our providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards including contractual protections.
10. Data retention
- Account and profile: until you delete your account, plus a short backup window
- AI usage logs: as needed for billing, support, and security; then deleted or anonymized
- Billing records: as required for tax, fraud prevention, and legal obligations
- Deleted account: removed from primary systems; backups may persist temporarily
11. Security
We use industry-standard measures including TLS encryption in transit, Firebase security rules, tenant-scoped access, server-side purchase verification, and least-privilege backend access. No system is completely secure. Report issues to sattvasrsti@gmail.com.
12. Your rights
Subject to applicable law (including the India Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 and GDPR where applicable), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing, withdraw consent, request portability, and lodge a complaint with your data protection authority.
Account deletion (in-app): Profile → Delete account. This deletes your Firebase Auth user, Firestore user data (pantry, diet, AI preferences, subscriptions, etc.), recipe reviews tied to your account, and profile photos in Storage. Deletion is irreversible.
Active subscriptions must be cancelled separately in Google Play, Apple, or Razorpay settings as applicable.
