Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 26, 2025

CooCook ("we", "our", "us", "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application. Please read this policy carefully. By using CooCook, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide our services:

• Recipe prompts: Text you enter to generate recipes is sent to our servers for AI processing. This data is used solely to generate your requested recipe and is not permanently stored on our servers.
• Device information: We collect your device language preference to provide localized content. We may also collect device type and operating system version for compatibility and troubleshooting purposes.
• Usage data: We collect anonymous, aggregated usage statistics such as feature usage frequency, app performance metrics, and crash reports to improve the app experience.
• Usage quota: We track the number of recipe generations per device to manage service limits. This is done using anonymous device identifiers.

Information We Do Not Collect

We respect your privacy and do not collect:

• Personal identification information (name, email address, phone number)
• Precise or approximate location data
• Contacts, calendar, or address book information
• Photos, videos, or media files
• Financial or payment information
• Health or fitness data
• Browsing history outside the app

How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used to:

• Generate personalized recipes based on your prompts
• Provide the app in your preferred language
• Manage usage quotas and service availability
• Analyze app performance and fix bugs
• Improve our services and develop new features

Local Storage

Your saved recipes and cooking progress are stored locally on your device using secure storage mechanisms. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to share it. We do not have access to your saved recipes or cooking history. If you uninstall the app, this local data will be deleted.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• AI Processing: Recipe generation is powered by third-party AI services. Your prompts are sent to these services for processing. These providers have their own privacy policies and are contractually prohibited from using your data for model training or other purposes.
• Analytics: We may use analytics services to collect anonymous usage data. These services help us understand how users interact with the app.
• Hosting: Our backend services are hosted on secure cloud infrastructure with industry-standard security practices.

Data Retention

Recipe prompts are processed in real-time and are not stored after generating your recipe. Anonymous usage data may be retained for up to 12 months for analytical purposes. You can request deletion of any data associated with your device by contacting us.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your information, including:

• Encrypted data transmission using HTTPS/TLS
• Secure server infrastructure with regular security updates
• Limited access to data on a need-to-know basis
• Regular security assessments and monitoring

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

Children's Privacy

CooCook is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed on servers located outside your country of residence. By using the app, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries that may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the app after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

European Privacy Rights

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our lawful basis for processing is legitimate interest (providing the service you request). You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
