Quietly, by default.

Effective 20 April 2026

The short version

SoloCook does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data about you. Nothing you do in the app is sent to our servers, because there are no servers. Nothing is shared with third parties. No analytics. No advertising. No account, no login, no tracking.

What the app stores, and where

Everything the app tracks — your display name, cooking streak, saved recipes, pantry selections, money-saved counter — lives only on your device. It is written to iOS's local preferences store and never leaves the device unless you explicitly share something via the system share sheet (e.g. a streak card to Instagram).

Uninstalling the app removes all of this data. We cannot recover it, because we never had a copy.

Network requests the app does make

The app makes anonymous HTTPS requests to two public services so that you can see recipe photos and a deeper recipe catalogue:

• Unsplash — serves the recipe and cuisine photos. Requests are anonymous; Unsplash receives the image URL and the standard network metadata your phone includes in any web request.
• TheMealDB — serves a small number of additional recipes. Requests are anonymous; TheMealDB receives the cuisine name being queried.

Neither service receives any personal information about you — not your name, not a user ID, not an email, not location. They see only the anonymous HTTPS request, the same as any web browser would send when loading an image.

What we do not do

• No analytics (we do not use Firebase, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or similar).
• No crash reporting that transmits to our servers.
• No third-party advertising.
• No sale or sharing of data.
• No accounts, no login, no password, no email collection.
• No location tracking.
• No access to your photos, contacts, microphone, or camera.

Children

SoloCook is rated 4+ and is safe for all ages. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children, because we do not collect data at all.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of SoloCook adds a feature that does transmit data (for example, if we later add optional cloud sync or AI-powered recommendations), this policy will be updated first. We will also make it very clear inside the app what is being sent, where, and why — and the feature will be optional.
