This Privacy Policy explains how Rice Cooker Meals ("the App", "we", "us") handles information when you use it. The App is a recipe and meal-planning app for rice cookers. It works offline. We do not require an account, and we do not ask you for your name, email address, or any other personal contact information.
The App saves your settings (cooker size, how many you cook for, foods you don't eat, weekly budget), your meal plan, shopping-list ticks, favourites, recipe adjustments and your cook log in local storage on your device. This information stays on your device and is not sent to us. Deleting the App removes this data. If your device backs up app data through your platform account (for example, iCloud or Google backup), that backup is governed by your platform's privacy policy, not ours.
If you choose to add a photo of a meal you cooked, the App asks for access to your camera or photo library and saves a copy of that photo inside the App on your device. Photos are never uploaded by the App. You can revoke camera or photo access at any time in your device settings.
The App does not use your microphone and does not record or process any audio.
Dinner reminders and cooking-timer alerts are local notifications scheduled on your device. No push notification service is used and nothing is sent to us. You can turn them off in the App or in your device settings.
The App offers one optional, one-time in-app purchase (the Unlock). Purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play Billing. We never receive or store your payment card details. Apple or Google tells the App only whether your store account owns the Unlock, so the App can open the recipes and restore your purchase. This is recorded locally on your device. Apple's and Google's handling of purchase data is described in their own privacy policies.
When you share a recipe card, a photo or a shopping list, the App hands it to your device's share sheet. You choose where it goes, and the receiving app's privacy policy applies from then on.
Calories, macros and grocery costs shown in the App are estimates based on USDA reference values and US average prices. They are not medical or dietary advice and are not any store's actual prices.
We do not collect, sell, or share your personal information. We do not use advertising, analytics or tracking tools. We may disclose information if required to do so by law, but we hold none about you.
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Depending on where you live (for example, the EEA/UK under GDPR, or California under the CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information. Because the App keeps your data only on your device and we maintain no accounts or servers, you control that data directly. Purchase records are held by Apple or Google and can be managed through your store account. You can also contact us using the details below.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. If the App ever starts collecting data, this page will say so first.
