🔒 Short version: ChakulaNyumbani does not collect, store, or share your personal information. Everything stays on your device.
Who we are
ChakulaNyumbani is an independent Android app. You can contact us at chakulanyumbani397@gmail.com with any questions about this policy.
What information we collect
ChakulaNyumbani does not collect any personal information. We do not have accounts, user profiles, or any server that stores your data.
The following data is stored locally on your device only and never transmitted to us:
- Ingredients you add to your kitchen
- Recipes you save to your collection
- Recipes you create yourself
- Your shopping list items
Uninstalling the app permanently deletes all of this data.
Third party services
The app uses TheMealDB (themealdb.com) to fetch recipe data. When you search for recipes, your ingredient search terms are sent to TheMealDB's API. We do not control what TheMealDB does with this data, please refer to their own privacy policy at themealdb.com.
Recipe and food images are loaded from TheMealDB and Wikipedia servers. Loading these images may expose your IP address to those servers, which is standard behaviour for any internet-connected application.
The app does not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking services.
Camera permission
If you choose to add photos to your own recipes, the app requests permission to access your camera. Photos you take are stored locally on your device only and are never uploaded anywhere or shared with us.
Children's privacy
ChakulaNyumbani does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Since we collect no personal data from any users, this app is safe for all ages.
Changes to this policy
If the app is updated in the future to include features that collect data (such as user accounts or community recipe sharing), this privacy policy will be updated before those features launch. We will indicate the update date at the top of this page.
