Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to Saladizer. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

When you create an account, we collect:

• Account information: your email address, username, and a securely hashed password.
• Profile information: your full name and profile image, if you choose to provide them.
• Dietary preferences: any dietary restrictions, allergies, health goals, or nutritional preferences you set within the app.

As you use the app, we also collect:

• Salad data: the salads you create, including selected ingredients and calculated nutritional values (calories, protein, carbs, fat, fiber).
• Activity data: a timestamp of your last activity to show your online status in internal systems.
• Email preferences: whether you have opted in or out of receiving promotional emails and tips.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide the core Saladizer experience: creating custom salads, tracking nutrition, and saving your preferences.
• To power AI-powered features such as salad suggestions, daily tips, and chef-created recipes based on your dietary profile.
• To send you account-related emails (password resets, account verification) and, if you opt in, occasional tips and updates.
• To improve and maintain the app, fix issues, and understand usage patterns in aggregate.

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored in a secure PostgreSQL database. Passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms and are never stored in plain text. We use encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all data transmission between your device and our servers.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate Saladizer:

• Resend: for sending transactional emails (password resets, welcome emails, tips).
• AI services: to generate salad suggestions and nutritional tips. Your dietary preferences may be shared with AI providers to generate personalized content. No personally identifiable information (name, email) is sent to AI services.
• Railway: for hosting our servers and database.

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Update or correct your account information at any time through the app.
• Delete your account and all associated data by contacting us.
• Opt out of promotional emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails.

Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you request account deletion, we will permanently remove all your personal data, salads, and preferences from our systems.

Children's Privacy

Saladizer is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make significant changes, we will notify you through the app or by email. Your continued use of Saladizer after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
