Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 23, 2026

At a Glance

  • Your recipes stay on your device. Saved recipes, favorites, cooking history, your shopping list and your cooking profile (diet, allergies, servings) are stored only on your phone. We do not run accounts.
  • Photos are sent for AI analysis only when you ask. When you scan a dish or your fridge, that photo is sent over an encrypted connection to our server and to Google's Gemini AI to recognize food and write recipes. We do not keep the photo on our servers after the answer is returned, and we do not use it to identify you.
  • No sign-up, no profile, no ads. Recipejang shows no advertising and asks for no name, email or phone number.
  • Shopping links are optional. If you tap a grocery link, you leave the app for Coupang (Korea) or AliExpress (other regions), which process your visit under their own policies.
  • Payments are handled by the app stores. Apple and Google process all purchases; we never see your card details.
  • Delete your data any time in Settings → Clear data, or by uninstalling the app.

1. Who We Are

MintSoft ("we", "us", "our") develops and operates Recipejang (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains what information is processed when you use the App, our website (app.mint-soft.com) and our support channels — and the choices you have.

2. Information We Process

Stored only on your device

  • Recipes you generate or save, favorites, how often you cooked each recipe, and your cooking streak
  • Your shopping list
  • Your cooking profile: diet preferences, allergies and default servings
  • Copies of dish photos you scanned (kept in the App's private storage so they appear next to your recipes)

This data is never uploaded to our servers. If you delete the App or use Settings → Clear data, it is deleted, including stored photos.

Sent to our AI service when you use an AI feature

When you tap Snap a dish, Scan my fridge, Find recipes, Get ideas or open a recipe, the App sends the following to our server (a Cloudflare Worker operated by MintSoft), which forwards it to Google's Gemini API:

  • The photo you took or selected (resized to at most 1280 pixels) — only for dish and fridge scans
  • The dish name, the ingredients you typed or confirmed, or the mood text you entered
  • Your cooking profile (diet preferences, allergies, default servings) so recipes can respect them
  • Your app language, so answers come back in that language

We use this information only to produce the answer you asked for. Our server does not store photos or prompts after responding. Google processes requests under the Gemini API terms and may retain them for a limited period for abuse monitoring. Please do not photograph people or personal documents.

To prevent abuse of the AI service, our server briefly processes your IP address for rate limiting; it is not stored with your requests.

Shopping (affiliate) lookups

When you open Buy online for an ingredient, the App sends the ingredient name and your language/region to our server, which queries Coupang Partners (Korea) or AliExpress Affiliate (other regions) for matching products. If you tap a product or search link, the store's website or app opens and processes your visit under its own privacy policy. We may earn a commission from qualifying purchases; we do not receive your order or payment details.

Collected automatically (anonymous)

  • Device and app information — device model, operating system version, app version, language and time zone
  • Crash and error diagnostics — technical details needed to fix crashes
  • Aggregated usage events — for example, that a fridge scan was started, without the photo or its content

Purchase information

If you subscribe to Recipejang Pro, the purchase is processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We and our purchase-management provider (RevenueCat) receive the product identifier, transaction state and an anonymous app user ID used to restore your purchase — never your payment card number or billing address.

Provided by you (optional)

If you contact us by email or through our website, we receive the email address, name (if given) and message contents you provide.

3. How We Use Information

  • Recognize food and ingredients in your photos and generate recipes and meal ideas
  • Respect your diet and allergy settings in AI answers
  • Show grocery products for ingredients you choose to buy
  • Diagnose crashes and improve reliability
  • Unlock and restore purchases
  • Respond to support requests and comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information, build advertising profiles, or use your photos to train AI models.

4. Legal Bases (EEA / UK)

  • Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) — processing photos and text you submit to deliver the AI feature you requested, and delivering Pro features
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) — crash diagnostics, abuse prevention and securing our services

5. Third-Party Service Providers

  • Google Gemini API — food recognition and recipe generation (Google LLC) — ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms
  • Cloudflare — hosting of our AI relay server (Cloudflare, Inc.) — cloudflare.com/privacypolicy
  • Coupang Partners — product suggestions for users in Korea (Coupang Corp.)
  • AliExpress Affiliate — product suggestions outside Korea (Alibaba.com Singapore E-Commerce Private Limited)
  • RevenueCat — purchase validation and restore (RevenueCat, Inc.) — revenuecat.com/privacy
  • Sentry — crash and error diagnostics, if enabled (Functional Software, Inc.) — sentry.io/privacy
  • Apple App Store / Google Play — payment processing under their own terms

6. Data Retention

  • On-device data — until you delete it in the App or uninstall
  • Photos and prompts sent for AI — not stored by our server after the response; retained by Google only as described in the Gemini API terms
  • Crash diagnostics — up to 90 days
  • Purchase records — as long as needed to honor your purchase and meet accounting obligations
  • Support correspondence — up to 1 year after your request is resolved

7. Security

All network traffic uses encryption (TLS). API keys for AI and shopping services are kept on our server, never inside the App.

8. International Transfers

Our service providers may process data in other countries, including the United States. Where required, transfers are protected by safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

9. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal data, restrict or object to processing, and complain to your supervisory authority. Most of your data exists only on your device and can be deleted in Settings → Clear data. For anything else, email app@mint-soft.com — we respond within 30 days.

10. California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You have rights to know, delete and correct, and not to be discriminated against for exercising them.

11. Children

The App is not directed at children under 13 (14 in the Republic of Korea, up to 16 in some EEA countries). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below these ages.

12. Republic of Korea (PIPA)

  • Privacy Officer: MintSoft Privacy Team — app@mint-soft.com
  • Items processed: photos and text submitted for AI features (not retained), device/app information for crash diagnostics
  • Entrustment of processing: Google LLC (AI analysis), Cloudflare, Inc. (server hosting), RevenueCat, Inc. (purchase verification)
  • Overseas transfer: photos and text you submit are transferred over the network to Google LLC (United States) at the moment you use an AI feature, solely to produce the answer, and are not stored by us afterwards.

You may request access, correction, deletion or suspension of processing at any time.

13. Changes to This Policy

When we make material changes, we will update this page and the effective date above, and notify you in the App where feasible.
