Privacy Policy

1. Overview of Data Protection

General Information

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you use our app. Personal data is any data with which you can be personally identified. Private Cookbook is built with privacy as a core principle. We do not collect, store, or process your personal data on our servers.

2. Data Collection in Our App

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

Private Cookbook operates on a "Zero-Knowledge" basis. This means:

• Local Storage: All your recipes, ingredients, and images are stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData technology.
• iCloud Sync: If enabled, your data is synchronized across your devices using your private Apple iCloud account (CloudKit).
• No Developer Access: The developer has technically no access to your recipes, photos, or usage data. We cannot see what you cook or read your notes.
• No Third-Party Analytics: We do not use any third-party tracking or analytics services (like Google Analytics, Firebase, or Facebook Pixel). We do not track your behavior.

System Permissions

The app requests access to specific system features only when necessary:

• Camera & Photo Library: Used strictly to allow you to add photos to your recipes. These photos never leave your device/iCloud.

Your Rights

Since we do not store any of your data, we cannot delete or provide a copy of it—only you possess it. You have full control over your data on your device and within your iCloud account. Deleting the app removes the local data. Deleting data from iCloud removes it from your cloud storage.
