Sous Chef
Sous Chef doesn't have accounts, sign-in, or a server that stores your data — everything you add stays on your device. This policy explains the little that's involved: your local content, and the ads that keep the app free.
Sous Chef has no accounts, no sign-up, and no sign-in — there is no user profile on any server. The only information involved is:
Content you create, stored only on your device
The ingredients you add to your pantry list, the recipes you save as favorites, and your progress checking off cooking steps. This stays on your device and is never sent to us or anyone else.
Advertising data (via Google AdMob)
Sous Chef shows ads through Google AdMob to keep the app free. AdMob may collect device and advertising identifiers, IP address, and general app-interaction data to select and measure ads. This is governed by Google's own privacy policy, not ours.
We do not collect your name, email, camera, microphone, contacts, precise location, health, or financial information — the app never asks for any of it.
We don't build a profile of you, we don't have a database of users, and we never sell personal information — there's nothing about you on our end to sell.
Your pantry list, saved recipes, and cooking progress are stored only locally on your device, using your phone's standard local storage — not on a server we run or have access to. If you delete the app, this data is permanently removed along with it.
Depending on where you live (e.g. EEA/UK under GDPR, California under CCPA), you may have additional rights regarding the advertising data AdMob processes. Contact us and we'll help, though most such requests are best handled directly with Google as the data processor.
Sous Chef is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your region). Since the app has no accounts and collects no personal information from anyone, there's no personal data tied to a child for us to hold in the first place. If you have concerns about ads shown to a child, contact us.
We may update this policy as Sous Chef evolves. If a change is material, we'll notify you in the app or by email before it takes effect. The "Effective date" above always reflects the latest version.
