Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 9, 2025

Introduction

PlanEat ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our iOS and watchOS mobile application (the "App").

Information We Collect

PlanEat is designed with privacy in mind. We do not collect, transmit, or share any personal information with third parties.

Data Stored Locally on Your Device

The App stores the following data locally on your device:

• Recipes: Recipe names, ingredients, preparation steps, cooking times, servings, and tags
• Meal Plans: Your planned meals and associated dates
• Shopping Lists: Your generated shopping lists and purchase status
• Preferences: Your app settings, category sorting preferences, and tutorial completion status
• Pro Membership Status: Information about your feature access level

iCloud Sync

If you choose to enable iCloud sync, your data (recipes, meal plans, and shopping lists) will be synchronized across your devices using Apple's iCloud service. This data is:

• Encrypted by Apple
• Stored in your personal iCloud account
• Never accessible to us
• Subject to Apple's Privacy Policy

You can disable iCloud sync at any time through your device settings.

Apple Watch Integration

If you use the Apple Watch companion app, your shopping list data is synchronized between your iPhone and Apple Watch using WatchConnectivity framework. This data transfer:

• Occurs only between your paired devices
• Is handled by Apple's secure communication protocols
• Is not transmitted to any external servers

Data Sharing and Export

The App allows you to export and share recipes using our custom .planEat file format. When you choose to share or export data:

• You have complete control over what data is shared and with whom
• Data is only shared through the standard iOS sharing mechanism
• We do not receive or access any shared data

Third-Party Services

PlanEat does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. Your data remains private to you.

Data Security

We take data security seriously:

• All data is stored locally on your device using Apple's secure storage mechanisms
• We use SwiftData framework for local data persistence
• iCloud data is encrypted by Apple
• We do not have access to your data

Children's Privacy

PlanEat does not knowingly collect any information from children. The App is suitable for all ages as it stores all data locally and does not collect personal information.

Your Rights

Since all your data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control over your information:

• Access: All your data is accessible within the App
• Modification: You can edit or delete any data at any time
• Deletion: Deleting the App will remove all locally stored data. To delete iCloud data, you must remove it through your iCloud settings
• Export: You can export your recipes using the share functionality

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. Continued use of the App after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
