Cooksy Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-05-13
Cooksy is a multi-device recipe platform for Desktop, Android and iOS. It helps users capture, organize, synchronize, process and export recipes through a single Cooksy account and a cloud archive.
This policy explains the baseline data practices for Cooksy 2.0 public release candidates.
Data Cooksy Processes
Cooksy may process these categories of data:
| Category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Account data | Email address, account status, locale, timezone | Account creation, login, support and security |
| Session and device data | Device identifier, platform, app version, session timestamps | Authentication, sync, abuse prevention and troubleshooting |
| Recipe data | Titles, ingredients, steps, notes, categories, tags and metadata | Recipe archive, search, sync and export |
| Uploaded content | Photos, PDFs and documents uploaded by the user | Recipe import, cloud processing, storage and support |
| Export data | Template selection, export jobs, generated files and download links | PDF/export generation and history |
| Billing and entitlement data | Plan, quota state, purchase provider reference and entitlement status | Subscription access and feature limits |
| Operational data | Logs, audit events, errors and diagnostics | Reliability, security, monitoring and support |
Cooksy does not require users to publish recipes publicly. Uploaded recipes and documents are treated as private user content connected to the user's account.
How Cooksy Uses Data
Cooksy uses data to:
- create and secure user accounts
- synchronize recipes across devices
- process uploads and recipe imports
- generate exports and download links
- show plan, quota and entitlement status
- prevent abuse and protect the service
- diagnose errors and provide support
- maintain backups, migrations and operational reliability
Payments
Cooksy uses a central backend entitlement model. Depending on the platform and release channel, purchases may be processed through Stripe, Google Play Billing or Apple StoreKit. Payment providers process payment details under their own policies. Cooksy stores only the purchase references and entitlement state needed to provide the service.
Cookies And Analytics
Cooksy does not use product analytics, advertising trackers or non-essential cookies on the public launch pages at this stage.
The web app may use technical browser storage, such as localStorage, sessionStorage, session tokens or device identifiers, to keep users signed in, protect accounts, remember preferences and operate the service.
If non-essential analytics, advertising pixels or marketing cookies are added later, this policy and the consent flow should be updated before activation.
Sharing And Service Providers
Cooksy may use infrastructure and service providers for hosting, storage, monitoring, payments, app distribution and support. Data is shared only as needed to operate Cooksy, comply with law, prevent abuse or protect the service.
Cooksy does not sell user data.
Security
Cooksy is designed so critical business logic, subscription state and export processing live in the backend. Secrets are not embedded in client apps. Production operations should use HTTPS, restricted secret access, audit logs, managed database access and backups.
Retention And Deletion
Account and recipe archive data are retained while the account is active or as needed to provide the service. Some logs, backups and audit records may be retained for a limited period for security, reliability and legal reasons.
Users can request account or data deletion through the support contact published for Cooksy. Deletion requests are handled according to the active production support process and applicable legal requirements.
User Choices
Users may request support for:
- account access
- recipe export or download
- correction of account or recipe data
- deletion of account data
- billing or entitlement issues
Children
Cooksy is not intended for children and is not designed to knowingly collect data from children.
International Users
Cooksy may be used across different regions. Privacy rights can vary by country or state. Cooksy will handle requests according to applicable law and the active production support process.
