Privacy Policy

Overview

Marie's Menu Picker ("the App") is a household meal planning tool. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.

Information We Collect

• Account information: Email address, name, and a hashed password when you register.
• Recipe data: Recipes, ingredients, and meal plans you create or import.
• Pantry data: Ingredient inventory you choose to log.
• Phone number: Only when you explicitly choose to text a shopping list to yourself via SMS.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide meal planning, recipe management, and shopping list features.
• To send you SMS shopping lists only when you request them.
• To improve meal suggestions based on your pantry and favorites.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

SMS Messaging

• SMS messages are sent only at your explicit request (tapping "Text List").
• Message frequency depends entirely on your usage. No automated or recurring messages are sent.
• Message and data rates may apply depending on your carrier.
• You can stop using the SMS feature at any time by simply not requesting texts.
• We do not store your phone number after sending the message.

Third-Party Services

• Twilio: Used to deliver SMS shopping lists. Your phone number and list contents are transmitted through Twilio's messaging service.

Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored in a secured PostgreSQL database. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt. The application runs on a private server with restricted access.
