Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 18, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Plateful ("Plateful," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile app and this website (together, the "Service").
Information we collect
When you use Plateful, we may collect:
- Account information: your email address and any profile details you choose to add.
- Recipe content: links, screenshots, or text you share into the app so we can extract and store a recipe for you.
- Diet and preference data: dietary restrictions, allergies, and taste preferences you enter so recipes can be tailored to you. This is only used to personalize your experience and is never sold.
- Usage data: how you interact with the app, such as which features you use, to help us improve it.
- Device and log data: basic technical information like device type, operating system, and crash reports.
- Waitlist submissions: if you join our iOS waitlist on this website, we collect the email address you provide, via our form provider, Formspree.
How we use your information
- To provide, operate, and maintain the Service.
- To extract, clean, and format recipes from the links or content you share, including using third-party AI services to process that content on your behalf.
- To personalize recipes, meal plans, and grocery lists to your stated diet and preferences, including using AI to generate ingredient swap recommendations and convert recipes to fit your diet.
- To notify you when features you've asked about launch.
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abuse.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with:
- Service providers who help us run Plateful, such as hosting, analytics, AI processing, and email delivery providers, bound by obligations to protect your data.
- App marketplaces (Google Play, and Apple's App Store once available) as required to distribute the app to you.
- Authorities, if required by law or to protect our users.
This website
