Privacy Policy for Cleaver Kitchen
Cleaver Kitchen is built to keep your cooking private. This policy explains how Cleaver Kitchen (“we,” “us,” “our”), the operator of the Cleaver Kitchen app and this website, handles information.
1. Summary
- There are no accounts. You never sign up or sign in.
- We run no servers for the app, and we don’t receive your recipes or any app data.
- The app has no analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs, and it doesn’t track you.
- Your recipes, photos, meal plans, shopping lists, and timers stay on your device and in your own device backups.
- There is no iCloud or CloudKit sync and no AI.
2. Your data stays on your device
Everything you create in Cleaver Kitchen is stored on your iPhone. If you back up your device, it may be included in backups that you and Apple manage.
Export and backup files. An export or backup file is created only when you choose Export All Recipes, and it goes only where you choose to save or send it. Import Backup reads a file you pick. We never receive these files.
3. Importing recipes and the in-app browser
- Links. When you import from a link, Cleaver Kitchen loads the page you choose directly from that website. For a Pinterest pin, it contacts Pinterest and then the recipe site the pin points to. For an X post, it contacts X. Those sites can see your IP address and the request, and their own privacy policies apply.
- In-app browser. The in-app browser loads the sites you visit, and those sites’ policies apply.
4. Optional: fxtwitter.com
If you turn on “Read Long X Posts & Photos via fxtwitter.com” in Settings, importing an X post asks the third-party service fxtwitter.com for that post’s text and photos. The request includes the post’s author handle and post ID, and fxtwitter.com can see your IP address. It’s off by default, it’s used only for X imports while it’s on, nothing from your library is sent, and we don’t receive or store any of it. fxtwitter.com’s own policies apply.
5. Camera, photos, microphone, speech, and notifications
- Camera and photos. Used only for photo import and recipe photos. Text recognition runs on your device using Apple’s frameworks.
- Microphone and speech recognition. Used only when Voice Control is on. Voice Control uses Apple’s Speech framework. Speech is recognized on your device when your device supports it; otherwise, speech may be processed by Apple’s servers, and Apple’s Privacy Policy applies. We never receive your audio.
- Notifications and Live Activities. Timers use local notifications on your device.
You can change these permissions at any time in iOS Settings.
6. Purchases
Apple handles purchases and offer codes through the App Store. We don’t receive your payment details. The app checks your purchase status with Apple on your device to unlock Cleaver Kitchen Pro.
7. Website, email, and the Dinner Sheet
- Hosting. cleaverkitchen.com is hosted and delivered by Cloudflare, which processes visitors’ IP addresses and basic request data to serve and protect the site (for example, security and email-address protection).
- Fonts. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts, so Google receives your IP address and basic request data when you visit.
- We don’t use analytics or advertising cookies on the site.
- Support email. If you email us, we receive your message and email address and use them only to help you. We keep support emails only as long as we need them.
- Dinner Sheet. If you sign up for the free Dinner Sheet, your email address goes to our email provider, Loops, so we can send you the Dinner Sheet and occasional Cleaver Kitchen updates. Every email has an unsubscribe link. We keep your address only as long as you stay subscribed or we need it for that purpose.
8. Your choices and rights
- Delete recipes in the app, or delete the app to remove its data from your device.
- Leave Voice Control and the fxtwitter.com option off, or limit camera, photo, microphone, speech recognition, and notification permissions in iOS Settings.
- To access or delete the email data we hold (support emails and Dinner Sheet signups), email [email protected] and we’ll take care of it.
- We don’t sell or share personal information.
9. Children
Cleaver Kitchen isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from them.
10. Changes
If we update this policy, we’ll post the new date on this page.
