Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account, we collect your name and email address. You can also create an account or sign in using Google, Apple, Microsoft, or Facebook. If you do, that provider shares basic profile information with us, such as your name, email address, and profile photo, according to your settings with that provider.

As you use MacroFLIP, we collect the recipes, ingredients, and nutrition details you submit, the search terms you enter and links you import through Discover Recipes, any goals or dietary preferences you set, and the information you choose to add to your profile.

If you purchase a Pro membership, your payment details are collected and handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.

We also collect standard technical and usage information, such as your device and browser type, and how features are used, to keep the service running and improve it. We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how the service is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work without them.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to create and maintain your account, analyze and flip your recipes, save your recipe history, manage your membership and billing, respond to support requests, send renewal and trial reminders you request, and improve the service. We do not sell your personal information.

3. Parties We Share Information With

We share information only with the service providers that make MacroFLIP work:

• Stripe, for payment processing, subscription management, and fraud prevention.
• Sign-in providers (Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook), when you choose to sign in with one of them.
• The AI services, recipe search and data providers, and public food-database services used to find recipes, parse recipes, and estimate nutrition.
• Our app hosting and platform provider (Base44), which runs the infrastructure that MacroFLIP operates on.
• Our email delivery provider, for transactional messages such as renewal reminders.

Each provider receives only the information needed to perform its function.

4. How Information Is Disclosed

Information is transmitted to these parties only through encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) to their official APIs, and only when the related feature is used. For example, a recipe you submit for analysis is sent to our nutrition-estimation service, the search terms you enter or the link you provide when searching for or importing a recipe are sent to our recipe data providers, and billing details go to Stripe when you check out. Imported recipes, ratings, and photos come from third-party sources and are credited to and linked back to those sources. We do not disclose your information for advertising.

We only share it with anyone else if legally required, to protect the rights and safety of our users, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business, in which case we will tell you and your information will remain protected by this policy or a similar one.

5. Your Recipes and Shared Content

Your saved recipes are private to your account and cannot be viewed by other members. If you choose to share a recipe to the Community tab, it becomes visible to other users along with any ratings and reviews you post. You can stop sharing at any time.

6. Security Practices

We protect your information using encryption in transit, strict per-user access controls so one member can never see another member's private data, secrets and payment credentials stored in a protected vault rather than in app code, and verification of all payment webhooks to prevent tampering. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable and appropriate measures to safeguard your information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access.

7. Data Retention, Your Rights, and Age Limit

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service and meet legal obligations. You may request a copy, correction, or deletion of your personal information at any time through the Contact Support form. Accounts themselves are not deleted: if you cancel your membership, your account is locked and your information is retained until you resubscribe.

If you signed in with Google, Apple, Microsoft, or Facebook, deleting your MacroFLIP account removes your data from MacroFLIP, and you can also remove MacroFLIP's access in that provider's account settings.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local privacy laws, such as the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, or to object to certain uses. To exercise these rights, contact us through the Contact Support form.

MacroFLIP is intended for people 13 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated within the service, and the date above reflects the current version.
