Privacy Policy

Last updated November 11, 2026.

Saadrey Digital Solutions in Toronto, Canada operates CleanFoodie and is responsible for the personal information described here. This policy covers the iPhone and iPad app and this website. For privacy questions or requests, email us.

The short version

• We save your pantry, preferences and recipes so you can use them across devices.
• Receipt images are read on your device. If you turn on Recipe Help, we can send filtered receipt text for processing.
• Recipe Help sends the information needed for your meal prep to an AI provider after you opt in. The app also uses a separate service to look up and create pantry pictures.
• We do not sell personal information or use it for ads or cross-app tracking.
• You can turn off Recipe Help or delete your account in Settings.

Information we collect and why

• Account and sign-in. We use your email address, account ID and any name you choose to share for sign-in, account management and syncing. Sign in with Apple may provide a private relay email address. We may keep an encrypted Apple token so we can request revocation when you delete your account.
• Pantry and preferences. We save groceries, stock status, notes, equipment, tastes, diet, allergies and intolerances. We use this information to keep your pantry up to date and, with Recipe Help enabled, to tailor and check suggestions. Food restrictions can reveal health information.
• Meal prep and saved recipes. We save your prep choices, recipes, cooking progress, favourites, personal recipe names, ratings, notes and cooked dates. This lets you pick up where you left off and find recipes again.
• Purchases and service use. Apple handles payment. We receive subscription status and purchase information from RevenueCat, and use account IDs, usage counts and technical records to restore access, apply search limits, keep the service secure and troubleshoot errors. These records can include request timing, status, model and cost. We do not receive your card number.
• Support and website. If you contact us, we use your email and message to respond. Our website host may process standard request information such as your IP address and browser details to serve and protect the site. This site does not use advertising cookies or install analytics scripts.

Receipt photos and text

Your device reads the receipt or photo you select. CleanFoodie does not upload the image. The app filters out patterns that look like payment, loyalty and contact details before it sends receipt text for grocery parsing with Recipe Help enabled. Automated filtering can miss information. Use typed entry for receipts that contain details you want to keep private.

Recipe Help and third-party AI

Recipe Help is optional. When you turn it on, the app sends the details needed for that task through OpenRouter to its model providers, which can include providers serving Anthropic Claude models. This can include pantry item names, categories and notes, food preferences and restrictions, prep choices, details of the selected recipe, and filtered receipt text. We do not attach your account ID, sign-in email or receipt image to those model requests. Please keep personal details out of food names and notes.

We configure OpenRouter requests to disallow provider data collection and use model routes marked for zero data retention. CleanFoodie still saves your pantry and generated recipes to your account and may cache generated recipes so retries can reuse them. Our application logs record operational information about requests.

Turn off Recipe Help in Settings › Recipe help to stop future Recipe Help requests. You can still use your pantry and open saved recipes. Turning it off does not delete what you already saved.

Pantry pictures

When a pantry item needs a picture, we send its name and category to our server to look it up. If no picture exists, the server may store the name and category in a shared image queue, and send the name through OpenRouter to check that it describes a food or kitchen item. A generic description and example food images may then be sent to OpenAI to make a new picture. The queue is separate from your account and the resulting pictures can be shared with other CleanFoodie users. This process is separate from Recipe Help. Enter grocery names only in the item name field.

Who processes information

• Supabase runs our account, database, storage and server functions. Account data can be processed in the United States.
• Apple provides Sign in with Apple and processes App Store purchases. RevenueCat helps us check and restore subscriptions using an app account ID, purchase records and app or device information.
• OpenRouter, its model providers, and OpenAI handle the tasks described above. Our email delivery service delivers sign-in messages, and our web host serves the website.
• We may disclose information when required by law or to protect the rights, security or safety of the service and its users.

We use access controls and limit service providers to the information needed for their work. We require providers that process personal information for us to protect it in accordance with applicable law and the protections described here. Providers may process information in countries with different privacy laws.

Retention and deletion

We keep account data while your account is active so the app can sync it. We keep operational records and support messages as needed for the purposes above, security, dispute handling and legal obligations. Backups can persist until they are rotated. Apple and RevenueCat may retain transaction records under their own policies and legal obligations. Shared pantry pictures and image jobs are separate from your account.

To delete your account, go to Settings › Account › Delete account. This removes your account and its associated records from our active systems. We request revocation of Sign in with Apple when we have the token needed to do so. Deleting your account does not cancel Pro. Cancel through Apple’s subscription settings.

Your choices and rights

You can edit your pantry and preferences in the app, export your pantry from Settings › Your data, turn off Recipe Help, or request account deletion. Depending on where you live, you may also be entitled to access, correct, erase or receive a copy of personal information, restrict or object to certain uses, withdraw consent, or complain to your privacy regulator. Contact us to make a request.

Where privacy law requires a legal basis, we use account information to provide the service you request, consent for optional Recipe Help, and our legitimate interests or legal obligations for service security, support and required records.

Children and changes

CleanFoodie is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 gave us personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.

We will post changes here and update the date above. Where required, we will notify you or ask for fresh consent before changing how we use your information.
