Effective date: August 26, 2026
This policy explains how Chef’s Pantry (“Chef’s Pantry,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) handles information in the Chef’s Pantry mobile and web applications and on chefspantry.app.
Questions, privacy requests, and deletion inquiries can be sent to [email protected].
If you use Local Kitchen Mode, pantry items, shopping items, recipes, preferences, reminder settings, and local migration snapshots are stored on your device. No account is required.
If you create a synced account, we process your email address, display name, selected avatar and color, authentication records, household membership and join code, pantry and shopping entries, saved recipes, and related timestamps. Passwords are submitted securely to Supabase Auth; Chef’s Pantry does not retain your readable password.
We record limited operational events such as feature type, response duration, result counts, pantry size, app version, device platform, status, categories, locations, and sanitized error details. Recipe search text is not logged; only its length is recorded. Full barcodes are not logged; diagnostics retain only a masked prefix. Household join codes are masked.
If you voluntarily join the launch waitlist, we process the submitted email address and signup timestamp to send launch-related updates. Joining the waitlist does not create an app account.
We disclose information only as needed to operate requested features:
These providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not authorize them to use Chef’s Pantry account or household information for their own targeted advertising.
Members of the same household can see the shared kitchen name, member roster, pantry, shopping list, and household recipes. Do not add sensitive information to shared entries that you do not want other household members to see.
You can permanently delete a synced account inside Profile → Account → Delete Account. A member’s account and profile are removed while the shared kitchen remains. When an owner deletes their account, ownership transfers to the longest-standing remaining member; if no member remains, the household and its pantry, shopping, and recipe data are deleted. Limited records may be retained when legally required or temporarily remain in protected service backups.
You may use Local Kitchen Mode without providing an email, decline camera or notification permission, edit or remove kitchen entries, leave or delete an account through the app, and request access, correction, or deletion by contacting support. Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide additional privacy rights. We will verify requests before acting on account information.
We use access controls, tenant-isolated database rules, encrypted network connections, restricted server credentials, and data minimization. No system is perfectly secure, so protect your password and household join code.
Chef’s Pantry is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Information may be processed in countries where our service providers operate, subject to appropriate protections and applicable law.
We may update this policy when features, providers, or legal requirements change. We will update the effective date and provide additional notice in the app when a change materially affects how personal information is handled.
