Memcook is a recipe book that works entirely on your device. This policy explains what data the app handles and what leaves your device.

1. Data stored on your device

Your recipes, photos, categories and cooking sessions are stored locally in the app (on the web, in your browser). Memcook has no account and no backend server. We cannot access, read or recover your recipes. Deleting the app (or clearing your browser data) deletes them permanently.

2. Data we collect

Memcook collects only the following, to keep the app stable and understand which features are used:

• Crash and error reports (Sentry): technical details when the app fails, such as the error, device model, operating system version, app version and an approximate location derived from the IP address.
• Anonymous usage events (Expo Observe): counts and categories such as "a recipe was created", "a cooking session started", or whether a recipe has a photo. Never the content of your recipes.

We never collect recipe titles, ingredients, steps, categories or photos. We do not collect your name, email address or contacts, and we do not use advertising or tracking across other apps and websites.

3. Camera and photos

• Camera: used only to scan recipe QR codes. Images are processed on your device and are not saved or sent anywhere.
• Photo library: used only when you choose a photo for a recipe. The photo is resized and stored locally.
• Notifications: step timers use local notifications generated on your device.

4. Sharing recipes

When you share a recipe, its content is encoded inside the fragment of a link (the part after the #) and shown as a QR code. A fragment is never sent to a server. The photo is never included. If you send the link through a messaging app, that app's own privacy policy applies to the message.

5. Website

The web app at memcook.com is served by a hosting provider that may keep standard technical logs (such as IP address and request time) for security and operation.

6. Children

Memcook is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal data from them.

7. Your rights
