Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 13, 2026
Fridgent ("we," "us," or "our") built the Fridgent mobile app (the "App") to turn photos of your food into recipes. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
Photos you take or upload
When you scan your fridge or pantry, the photo is sent securely to our AI processing service to identify ingredients. Photos are used solely to generate your recipes and are not retained after processing or used to train models.
Taste profile and preferences
Information you enter in Personalize taste — such as your name, cooking skill, spice level, diet, allergies, disliked ingredients, cuisines, nutrition goals, household size, and cook-time limits — is stored locally on your device and sent with your recipe request so results are tailored to you.
Usage and app data
We store certain data on your device, including your saved recipes, daily scan count, and a randomly generated device identifier used to enforce free-tier limits. This identifier is not linked to your real-world identity.
Purchases
If you subscribe to Premium, purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play and managed through our payments provider (RevenueCat). We receive your subscription status but never your full payment card details. Please review the privacy policies of Apple, Google, and RevenueCat.
How we use your information
- To detect ingredients in your photos and generate recipes
- To personalize recipes to your taste, diet, and restrictions
- To enforce free-tier scan limits and manage subscriptions
- To operate, maintain, and improve the App
How your information is shared
We share data only with service providers that help us run the App:
- Anthropic — processes your photo and preferences to generate recipes. See Anthropic's Privacy Policy.
- RevenueCat — manages subscription status.
- Apple / Google — process payments and app distribution.
We do not sell your personal information or share it with advertisers.
Data retention
Photos are not retained after a recipe is generated. Your taste profile, saved recipes, and settings remain on your device until you delete them or uninstall the App. Uninstalling removes locally stored data.
Your choices
- You control which photos you submit and can edit detected ingredients before generating recipes.
- You can edit or clear your taste profile at any time in Settings.
- You can delete saved recipes within the App.
- You can revoke camera and photo permissions in your device settings.
- Uninstalling the App removes locally stored data.
Children's privacy
Fridgent is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be communicated within the App or on this page.
