Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

• Account details such as name, display name, email address, and password.
• Contact information like your email and phone number for one-time passcodes and account security.
• Payment and billing details that you provide to our third-party payment processors.
• User-generated content including recipes, photos, notes, dietary preferences, and any metadata you choose to share (publicly or privately) inside the Services.
• Device, log, and analytics data (IP address, browser, cookie identifiers) collected via cookies or similar tools.

How We Use Information

We process personal information to provide and improve the Services, personalize experiences, and protect our community. Typical uses include:

• Authenticating you, maintaining your account, and syncing your preferences across devices.
• Generating, analyzing, and refining recipes, nutritional estimates, and planning tools.
• Processing payments, enforcing subscriptions, and preventing fraud or misuse.
• Communicating with you about product updates, support requests, and marketing (with opt-out options).
• Improving performance, safety, and reliability of our AI-powered features and integrations.

How We Share Information

We do not sell personal data. We share information only as needed to operate the Services, such as with hosting providers, analytics vendors, AI partners (for example OpenAI or Google), and payment processors acting on our behalf. We may disclose information to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, or protect the rights and safety of Stackorithm and our users.

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, secure your account, understand product usage, and personalize content. You can modify browser settings to limit cookies; however, some features may not function properly.

Payments

Payments are handled by third-party processors (such as Stripe or similar providers). These processors receive the payment data that you submit and are responsible for their own privacy and security practices. We only receive the limited details needed to confirm your subscription status.

International Data Transfers

Data may be stored or processed in Canada, the United States, or other regions where we or our service providers operate, including through geo-location for performance. When we transfer data internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections and industry-standard security controls.

Retention

We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to deliver the Services. When you request deletion (see below), we remove or anonymize personal data unless we need to keep it for legal, accounting, or safety reasons.

Security

We apply administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including SSL or TLS encryption in transit, secure authentication, and restricted employee access, to keep your data safe. No system is perfectly secure; we continuously monitor and improve our controls to mitigate risk.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location (including GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable laws), you may have the right to:

• Access, correct, or update your profile information.
• Request a copy of your data or portability of certain records.
• Restrict or object to certain processing.
• Request deletion of your account and associated personal data.
• Opt out of marketing communications.

You can exercise most controls within account settings. For deletion, exports, or additional rights, submit a request through the in-app support form. We will respond within the timelines required by applicable privacy laws.

Marketing Preferences

We may send product updates, tips, or promotional messages. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in those emails or by adjusting your settings inside the app. Transactional communications (such as security alerts or billing notices) will still be delivered as needed.

Global Use and Younger Users

Stackorithm is available to a global audience without a specific age gate. If you are the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you confirm you can form a binding contract. If you are younger, you should only use the Services with permission from a parent or guardian. We will promptly delete personal data if we become aware that it was collected from a child contrary to applicable law.

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory changes. When we do, we will post the revised version and notify you via email or in-app notice. Continued use of the Services after the changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Contact

Questions or requests about this Privacy Policy can be submitted through the in-app support form. We currently do not offer an external email or mailing address for privacy inquiries, so please use the form to ensure the fastest response.
