Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 6, 2026
Clemi ("we", "our", or "the app") is a recipe companion that helps you save, organize, and share recipes and grocery lists. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
1. Data We Collect
Account
Clemi uses anonymous authentication. We do not collect your name, email, or any personally identifiable information. Each account is identified by a randomly generated ID.
Content You Create
Recipes, collections, grocery lists, meal plans, and profile preferences (display name, measurement system, dietary preferences) you add to the app are stored on our servers to sync across your devices.
Photos you upload (e.g. cookbook scans) and messages you send to the AI recipe assistant are also stored.
Automatically Collected
- Usage analytics — screen views and feature interactions, linked to your anonymous ID.
- Crash reports — error logs, device type, OS and app version. Not linked to your identity.
- Push tokens — stored if you enable notifications.
- Purchase data — subscription status and transaction confirmations via a third-party service. We never see your payment details.
Data We Do Not Collect
Email addresses, passwords, location, contacts, browsing history, or advertising identifiers.
2. How We Use Your Data
- Provide the service — store and sync your content across devices.
- AI features — process recipes, images, and video URLs through AI services for extraction, substitutions, and image generation.
- Sharing — enable real-time sync with your Home members.
- Improve the app — use analytics and crash reports to fix bugs and prioritize improvements.
- Purchases — manage subscriptions and credit balances.
3. Third-Party Services
We use third-party services to provide functionality. Each receives only the minimum data needed. We do not sell or share your data for advertising.
- AI provider — recipe content and images for extraction and generation.
- Payment processor — anonymous user ID and purchase receipts.
- Analytics — anonymous usage data (no session replay, no personal information).
- Error tracking — crash reports and performance data (not linked to identity).
- Cloud infrastructure — database and file storage, encrypted at rest and in transit.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data. It is only shared when:
- Home sharing — members of your Home can see shared grocery lists, recipes, and your display name. Joining requires an explicit action (sharing a temporary code).
- Third-party processing — as described in Section 3.
- Legal requirements — if required by law.
5. Security
All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Authentication tokens are stored in your device's secure storage (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore). Access controls ensure you can only access your own data and shared resources you've been invited to.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
Your data is retained as long as your account exists. You can delete individual items at any time. Deleting your account permanently removes all associated data (recipes, grocery lists, collections, profile, and credits). This is irreversible.
7. Your Rights
You can access, modify, and delete your data at any time through the app. You can revoke sharing by leaving a Home. If you are in the EEA, you also have the right to data portability and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
8. Children's Privacy
Clemi is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. Contact us if you believe a child has provided data.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
