    Old Family Recipe ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our service to preserve and share your family recipes.

    2. Information We Collect

    2.2 Recipe Data

    We store the recipes, stories, photos, and other content you upload to Old Family Recipe. This includes recipe ingredients, instructions, provenance information (who the recipe is from, stories, origin year), and images you upload.

    2.3 Usage Data

    We collect information about how you use our service, including which features you use, when you access your account, and how you interact with recipes. This helps us improve our service.

    3. How We Use Your Information

    4. Data Storage and Security

    Your data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption and security practices. We use AWS (Amazon Web Services) infrastructure, which provides enterprise-grade security. Your recipes are stored in a private database and are only accessible to you and family members you explicitly invite.

    • When you share recipes: If you create a shareable link, anyone with that link can view the recipe. You control who has access.
    • Service providers: We use trusted third-party services (like AWS) to host and operate our service. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
    • Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and safety.

    • Delete your account and all associated data
    • Opt out of marketing communications (service emails are required)
