Information We Collect

Account details if you sign up (name, email, saved recipes, pantry, grocery list)

How We Use It

To generate recipes, meal plans, and storage estimates
To keep your saved recipes, pantry, and grocery list on your account
To enforce guest daily limits and prevent abuse
To understand which pages people use so we can improve the site
To show ads through Google AdSense on the home page, recipe pages, and food guides

Cookies and analytics

We use a device cookie (`fyf_device`) so guest limits work across reloads. We use Vercel Analytics for anonymous usage and Google Analytics 4 for traffic measurement.

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalized ads at google.com/settings/ads. AdSense loads only on the home page, recipe pages, and food guides. Tools like the recipe generator and meal planner, and account, dashboard, and admin pages, do not load it.

Data retention

Account data (saves, pantry, grocery list) is kept until you delete the account or we close the service
Anonymous search logs used for ingredient trends are aggregated and retained to improve the product
Guest generation counters expire on a rolling 24-hour window
Recipe submissions sit in a private admin draft queue until published, rejected, or deleted

Third-party services

Vercel for hosting and analytics
Google Analytics 4 for traffic measurement
Google AdSense (publisher ID ca-pub-2003476122681226) for advertising on public pages
