Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 1, 2026

Cooking Legacy ("we", "our", or "us") is a private family recipe app built by Marcelo Salinas. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect

When you use Cooking Legacy, we collect the following:

• Account email address — used to create and manage your account
• Recipes you create — including titles, ingredients, steps, photos, and stories
• Book membership information — who you invite, their roles, and invite status

We do not collect your name, phone number, location, or any other personal information beyond what is listed above.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data is used solely to provide the Cooking Legacy experience:

• To authenticate you and manage your account
• To save and display your family recipe books and recipes
• To enable sharing books with family members you invite
• To manage your subscription plan (Free or Pro)

We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for advertising. We do not share your data with third parties except as described below.

3. Third-Party Services

Cooking Legacy uses the following third-party services to operate:

• Firebase (Google) — for authentication, database storage, and file storage. Firebase's privacy policy is available at firebase.google.com/support/privacy
• Apple StoreKit — for processing subscription purchases. Apple's privacy policy is available at apple.com/legal/privacy

4. Data Sharing

Your recipe books are private by default. Only family members you explicitly invite can access a book and its recipes. We do not make any of your content publicly visible.

5. Data Retention

Your data is stored as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your login credentials and user profile are deleted. Recipe books you created may remain accessible to other family members who are part of that book.

You have the right to:

• Access the data we hold about you
• Delete your account at any time from within the app (Profile → Delete Account)
• Request deletion of your data by contacting us

7. Children's Privacy

Cooking Legacy is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

8. Changes to This Policy

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