Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2026
TasteDrop is currently in beta. This policy explains what we collect, why, and who we share it with. We collect only what we need to run the service.
What we collect
- Account data — your email, name, and password are handled by Supabase, our authentication provider. If you sign in with Google, we receive your email and name from Google.
- Your content — recipes you generate, import, or save; cooking sessions; ratings and notes; pantry items; and meal plans.
- Recipe inputs — ingredients and preferences you enter are sent to Anthropic (Claude) to generate recipes. Anthropic does not use this data to train its models and does not retain it beyond processing your request.
- Usage & diagnostics — we use PostHog for product analytics (which pages and features are used) and Sentry for error monitoring. Sentry may record a session replay when an error occurs; text is masked and media is blocked in those recordings. These tools may set local storage entries in your browser.
How we use it
- To provide and improve the service — generating recipes, saving your work, personalizing recommendations.
- To diagnose and fix bugs and understand which features are useful.
- We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share your content with third parties except the processors named above (Supabase, Anthropic, PostHog, Sentry) acting on our behalf.
- If and when paid plans launch, payment processing will be handled by Stripe; we never see or store your full card details.
Community contributions
If you contribute community signal after cooking a recipe in Cook Mode (a rating, “I made this” confirmation, photo, or short tip):
- Your handle is the only identifier shown publicly next to your contributions. Your real name, email, and account ID stay private.
- Photos you upload are stripped of EXIF metadata (including location) before being made public.
- Tips are short cooking notes (up to 500 characters) visible to other cooks on the recipe’s page. Photos and tips are AI-moderated before they go live and may be reported by other users.
- All contributions are publicly visible on the recipe’s page and may be cached by search engines.
- If you delete your account, your ratings, “made this” confirmations, and tips are removed within minutes. Your photos are removed from the public bucket within 24 hours by an automated cleanup job.
Your choices
- You can delete recipes, cooking history, and pantry items from within the app.
