🥕 Dinner In The Fridge — Privacy Policy

Last updated 20 August 2026

Dinner In The Fridge helps you find recipes from a photo of your food. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices. We keep it short and plain.

What we collect

• Account details — your email address and a securely hashed password (a display name is derived from your email).
• Food photos — the photo you take is sent to our service to identify ingredients and suggest recipes. We do not store your photos; each image is processed in memory to produce recipes and then discarded.
• Usage — how many scans you have used and how many free scans you have left.

Who we share it with

To make the site work, limited data is processed by:

• Google Cloud (Vertex AI / Gemini) — your food photo is sent to identify ingredients and, where applicable, draft recipes.
• Spoonacular — the detected ingredients (text, not your photo) are sent to return real recipes.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for advertising.

Deleting your account

You can permanently delete your account and its data at any time. In the iOS app, sign in and tap Delete account on the home screen. You can also email us at the address below and we will delete it for you. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone.

Data retention

We keep your account details and usage record until you delete your account. Food photos are not retained after processing.

Children

Dinner In The Fridge is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
