Fornel Recepten is a recipe app for iPhone and iPad. On your Home Screen the app is called "Recepten". This page explains what the app does with your data, and what it does not do.

In short

• No account. You do not have to sign up for anything.
• No analytics, no ads, no tracking.
• No server of our own. The app sends your recipes nowhere except to your own iCloud.
• The publisher cannot see your recipes. What the publisher can receive comes through Apple, as Apple arranges it, or from you, if you send an email (see below).

What the app stores

• Your library: recipes with their text, source and web address, photos, rating, favorites, categories and the trash, and your grocery lists with their arrangement into aisles. For an imported recipe also where it came from: which app and which kind of export, the recipe's identifier in that app, and when you imported it.
• On your device only: your cooking progress (checked ingredients and steps, for at most 12 hours), your running timers, and your choices in the app, such as the sort order and the number of servings.

iCloud

If you are signed in to iCloud, the app also stores your library in your own iCloud, in the app's private database. That way your recipes are on all your devices with the same Apple Account. Apple handles this: the data is in your iCloud storage, and the publisher has no access to it. Without iCloud, everything stays on your device.

If your device makes a backup, the app's data is included in it.

What the app reads

• Files you choose to import, such as an export from Paprika. The app reads them on your device and adds the recipes to your library. The file goes nowhere.
• Notifications: when you set a timer, iOS asks whether the app may send notifications. The notification is scheduled on your device and does not come from a server.

What does not happen

• No account. The app does not know who you are and has no user ID.
• No analytics and no ads. The app contains no third-party code for analytics, ads or crash reporting, and does not track you across other apps or websites.
• No server of our own. The app sends your recipes or data about them nowhere, except to your own iCloud.
• No selling or sharing of data from the app. The app collects nothing for the publisher, so there is nothing from the app to sell or share.

If you tap a web address in a recipe, your device opens that page in Safari. From then on, the rules of that website apply.

What the publisher receives through Apple

The app has no crash reporting of its own and sends the publisher nothing itself. What Apple shares with the publisher is arranged by Apple, not by the app. According to Apple, this can include:

• Download and usage figures, aggregated, in App Store Connect.
• Crash reports, if you have chosen on your device to share analytics data with app developers. That is your choice in iOS, and you can turn it off there.
• TestFlight. If you test a beta version through TestFlight, Apple shares data about you and your use of the beta with the publisher, and feedback you send yourself. Which data exactly is described in Apple's explanation of TestFlight and privacy.

If you send an email

If you email for support, the publisher receives your email address and what you write. The publisher uses it only to answer your question and, if you report a bug, to fix it. He will not send you newsletters or advertising, will not share your email with anyone, and deletes it no later than twelve months after the last contact.

Viewing and deleting

Everything the app stores, you can see in the app itself. A recipe you delete goes to the trash, where you can restore it. Deleting permanently within the app is not possible in this version yet.

If you delete the app, iOS removes what the app stored on that device. Your library in iCloud stays. You delete it in the iCloud settings of your device: under your account storage, choose the app and delete its data. Anything already in a backup stays there until that backup is replaced or deleted.

From the app, the publisher has nothing of yours. What the publisher may have is an email you sent yourself, and what Apple shares with the publisher (see above). If you want that deleted, email the address below.

Changes

If this privacy policy changes, the new version will be here, with a new date at the top.
