Transparency is key. Here is a detailed breakdown of the third-party services we use, why we use them, and how your data is handled.
Third Party Services
We rely on the following third-party services to deliver our application:
- Google Firebase - Used for authentication, database, hosting, and performance monitoring.
- Google Gemini / Vertex AI - Used for generating recipes and suggestions.
- Google Imagen - Used for generating recipe images.
- Google reCAPTCHA - Used for security and spam prevention (via Firebase App Check).
- React Scan - Used for performance optimization and finding rendering issues.
Data Privacy & Security
We take your privacy seriously. Here is what you need to know:
- No Personal Tracking: We do not sell your data to advertisers.
- AI Generation: When you generate a recipe, the ingredients you provide are sent to Google's AI models (Gemini) to create the content. These inputs are not used to train the public models in a way that links back to you personally.
- Authentication: If you sign in, we store your basic profile information (email, preferences) securely in Google Firebase.
- Analytics: We use basic analytics to understand which features are popular, but this data is aggregated and anonymized where possible.
