Privacy Policy

Forkt keeps your recipes and their forks. To do that we store your account details and the recipes you add, and we send some recipe text and photos to service providers that help the app work. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising. You can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app at any time.

• Account information. Your name, email address, and a securely hashed version of your password.
• Recipe content. The recipes, forks, ingredients, steps, notes, ratings, photos, and source links you import or create.
• Photos. Images you take or choose to import a recipe or add a picture to one. Recipe-import photos are analyzed to extract the recipe text, then stored with that recipe.
• Voice. If you use the voice feature, your speech is converted to text on your device or through your device's speech-recognition service, and only the resulting text is sent to us as a recipe-editing instruction.
• Technical information. Basic technical data needed to run and troubleshoot the app, such as error reports and request logs.

• To provide the core features: importing, forking, cooking, saving, and sharing recipes.
• To create and secure your account and sign you in.
• To send you account emails, such as a password-reset link when you ask for one.
• To diagnose errors and keep the app working.

Importing a recipe, applying a quick change, and estimating calories send the relevant recipe text or photos to Anthropic, which runs the AI model that reads and edits recipes. This content is used only to return the result to you. We do not use your recipes to train AI models.

We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for advertising. We use a small number of service providers that process data only to run Forkt on our behalf:

• Anthropic. AI processing of recipe text and photos for import, quick change, and calorie estimates.
• Supabase. Database and photo storage.
• Vercel. Application hosting.
• Resend. Sending account emails such as password resets.
• Sentry. Error monitoring.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Forkt and its users.

We keep your information for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from Profile, then Delete account, inside the app. Deleting your account permanently removes your account, recipes, forks, cooks, and the photos you imported recipes from. A recipe picture that another user has already forked into their own cookbook stays with their copy. Some routine backups and error logs may persist for a short period before they expire.

Passwords are stored only as a salted hash, never in plain text. Recipe-import photos are kept in private storage. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

Forkt is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

We may update this policy as the app changes. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page.
