1. Information we handle

• Account details. Your email address, account identifier, and name if available. If you use Apple or Google sign-in, we receive the identity information you authorize the provider to share. If you sign up by email, we process the credentials and verification information needed for sign-in and password recovery.
• Videos and recipes. Links you paste or share, videos you choose to upload, and related source information such as the title, captions, and description when available. We store the recipes, instructions, timing, cover images, and folders you save or sync. Cooking logs, cooking photos, shopping lists, and local video copies may be stored on your device.
• Subscription information. Apple processes payments and manages billing. We receive the product and transaction identifiers, an account-linking identifier, and subscription dates and status needed to activate, restore, and verify access. We do not receive your payment card number.
• Operational information. Requests can include an IP address, device or app information, timestamps, and diagnostic and import status information. If you contact support, we receive your email and the information you include.

2. How video analysis works

When you request an import, ReciCut may retrieve the linked video or upload the file you selected. We send the video images, original audio, and relevant source text, when available, to Xiaomi MiMo to generate ingredients, steps, and matching video times. Video or audio can contain identifiable people and voices. Only submit content you have permission to share. You can decline AI processing by not proceeding with the import.

We may reuse an analysis result for a public video when another user imports the same source. Your private uploads and personal recipe library are handled separately. Your email address and Apple payment details are not part of the material sent for recipe generation.

3. What we use information for

We use it to operate your account, generate and sync recipes, deliver verification and recovery emails, manage subscription access and import allowances, respond to requests, diagnose errors, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations. ReciCut does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Where European or UK data protection law applies, we process information as needed to provide the service you request, with your consent where required, for legitimate interests such as security and abuse prevention, and to meet legal obligations.

4. Who receives information

Our service uses Vultr for hosting, Cloudflare for domain and web delivery and email forwarding, Sendflare for account emails, Xiaomi MiMo for recipe analysis, and Apple or Google for sign-in when you select that option. Apple also handles App Store payments. We limit service provider access to what is needed to perform the service and require applicable privacy and security protections.

When an original video plays through a platform’s embedded player, that platform may receive your IP address, device information and playback interactions, and may use cookies under its own policies. We may disclose information when legally required or to protect the service and its users.

Our main backend is hosted in the United States. Providers may process information in other countries. Where legally required, we use applicable safeguards for international transfers.

5. Storage, retention, and deletion

We retain your synced library and account information while needed to provide your account. Server copies of original media are generally temporary and cleared after processing or through scheduled cleanup. Media needed for playback, cached analysis of public sources, and copies saved on your device can be retained separately. We keep limited records as needed for security, troubleshooting, billing, or legal obligations. Access to account data is restricted and network requests use encrypted connections.

You can request deletion in Settings → Account → Delete account. This starts deletion of your account and associated cloud data. Backup copies and records required for security or law may be retained for a limited period. Public-source analysis and copies saved independently by others may remain. For device copies on other devices, remove the relevant local files or app data there.

Deleting a ReciCut account does not cancel an Apple subscription. Manage or cancel it in your Apple subscription settings.

6. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal data, restrict or object to certain processing, withdraw consent, and complain to your privacy authority. Email support@recicut.com to make a request. We may verify your identity before acting. You can change device permissions in iOS settings.

ReciCut is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can address it. We will publish updates to this policy on this page and provide additional notice when required.
