Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 7, 2026

SideKitchen ("SideKitchen," "we," "our," or "us") is a mobile recipe app that helps users decide what to cook based on ingredients they already have. This Privacy Policy explains what information SideKitchen collects, how it is used, and what choices you have.

Information We Do Not Collect

SideKitchen does not require you to create an account. SideKitchen does not ask for your name, address, phone number, payment information, precise location, contacts, photos, camera access, microphone access, or health information. SideKitchen does not sell your personal information.

Information Stored Locally on Your Device

SideKitchen may store the following information locally on your device:

This information is stored on your device using local app storage. It is used to make the app work, remember your choices, and improve your experience. This local app data is not used to identify you personally.

You can delete local app data using the in-app Settings > Reset app data option. You can also delete it by clearing the app's storage through your device settings or uninstalling the app.

Recipe Images and Remote Content

SideKitchen may load recipe images and other app content from remote hosting services. When your device loads remote images or website content, technical information such as your IP address, device information, browser/app information, and request details may be processed by hosting providers or content delivery services in order to deliver that content. SideKitchen uses this only to display app content, such as recipe images.

Website and Email Contact

If you visit sidekitchenapp.com, standard website hosting logs may be processed by the website hosting provider. If you contact us by email, we will receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address and message. We use that information only to respond to your request.

Advertising and Analytics

At launch, SideKitchen does not require an account and is designed to work primarily with local app data. If advertising, analytics, or premium features are added in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated to describe what data is collected, how it is used, and what choices are available.

Shopping List and Favorites

Shopping list items and favorite recipes are stored locally on your device. SideKitchen does not currently sync your shopping list or favorites to a cloud account.

Children's Privacy

SideKitchen is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

Food, Nutrition, and Allergy Notice

SideKitchen provides recipe suggestions for general cooking purposes. SideKitchen is not a medical, nutrition, allergy, or dietary advice service. You are responsible for checking ingredients, allergens, food safety, and dietary suitability before preparing or eating any recipe.

Data Security

We use reasonable measures to protect the app and website. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. Because most SideKitchen app data is stored locally on your device, protecting access to your device also helps protect your app data.

Data Retention and Deletion

Local app data remains on your device until you delete it using Settings > Reset app data, clear app storage, or uninstall the app. Emails you send to us may be retained as needed to respond to your request, maintain records, or comply with legal obligations.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of SideKitchen after changes means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
