Privacy Policy

Welcome to Kitchgrow, formerly Reciplan, a smart meal planning, recipe, grocery, pantry, and creator workflow service developed by Amalthea Labs LLP (“we”, “our”, or “us”).

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, protect, and process information when you use the Kitchgrow mobile application, Kitchgrow web application, public Kitchgrow pages, and related Kitchgrow services collectively referred to as the “Service”.

For account, profile, Kitchen Passport, Kitchen Studio, recipe-submission, and related Service data, Amalthea Labs LLP is generally the data controller because we determine the purposes and means of processing that information.

Our goal is to maintain a privacy-focused experience while using only the minimum data reasonably necessary to provide, improve, secure, monetize, and support Kitchgrow.

By using Kitchgrow, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

On mobile devices, Kitchgrow requests only permissions necessary for app functionality and monetization.

Kitchgrow may offer optional premium features and subscriptions, primarily through mobile app-store billing unless another supported purchase flow is introduced.

Mobile payments are securely handled through your device's native app store billing platform. We do not store or process credit card information, debit card information, banking details, or UPI credentials.

Web pages may show membership status, account status, or premium information, but Kitchgrow does not require you to enter payment-card details into the web app unless a separate supported purchase flow is clearly introduced.

We may use subscription infrastructure and entitlement management providers to verify access, restore purchases, prevent fraud, and maintain subscription status across app sessions.

These providers may process pseudonymous app user IDs, purchase status, subscription identifiers, product identifiers, active entitlement status, transaction metadata, and limited device or app information.

We do not sell personal information for money. Where privacy laws define certain advertising, measurement, or cross-context activity as “sharing” or “selling”, we provide applicable choices or honor applicable opt-out requirements where required by law.

We may disclose limited information to service providers and platform partners where necessary to operate, secure, monetize, and improve Kitchgrow, process purchases, deliver ads, validate rewarded ads, provide analytics and diagnostics, authenticate accounts, protect recipe content, review submissions, respond to support requests, comply with law, or complete an action you request.

These categories may include app stores and billing platforms, authentication providers, analytics and diagnostics providers, advertising and measurement providers, cloud hosting and content-delivery providers, subscription and entitlement providers, support and communication providers, and legal or compliance recipients where required.

These providers are expected to process information according to their own privacy notices, contractual obligations, platform rules, and applicable law.

We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, fraud prevention, security enforcement, or a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer of business assets with appropriate protections.

Where laws such as the EU or UK GDPR require a legal basis, we process personal information only when an appropriate legal basis applies.

We process account, sync, planning, Kitchen Passport, Kitchen Studio, recipe-submission, subscription, and support data when necessary to provide the Service or perform our agreement with you.

We process limited analytics, diagnostics, security, fraud-prevention, abuse-prevention, product-improvement, and service-reliability data based on our legitimate interests, balanced against your privacy rights.

We process advertising personalization, optional permissions, push notifications, and certain preference-based features based on consent where consent is required by applicable law or platform rules.

We process certain billing, tax, legal, compliance, security, and dispute-related records where necessary to comply with legal obligations or protect legal claims.

You can delete your account in Kitchgrow where account deletion controls are available, including supported app settings, or request deletion without the app at https://amalthealabs.com/kitchgrow/delete-account.

Account deletion removes your account identity, personal profile, profile photo, unpublished recipe submissions, stored recipe interactions, account-backed sync records, and account-backed data such as planner, shopping, pantry, Kitchen Passport, cookbook interaction, Kitchen Studio, public Kitchen profile, and unpublished creator data, unless limited retention is required for the reasons stated below.

Recipes already published to the community catalog may be retained in unpublished, unlisted, de-identified, or service-owned form without your name, username, profile, or account identity where needed to preserve recipe integrity, moderation records, safety, or audit history.

Limited records may be retained where required for legal compliance, security, fraud prevention, or resolving pending transactions.

You may permanently delete local-only mobile data by uninstalling the app or clearing app storage in device settings. This removes local meal plans, grocery lists, preferences, pantry data, and planner settings stored only on that device.

Support communications may be retained only as long as necessary to resolve support issues, prevent abuse, or maintain records where legally required.

Analytics, diagnostics, advertising, security, and subscription records are retained according to configured retention periods, provider requirements, legal obligations, fraud-prevention needs, and platform rules, then deleted, aggregated, or de-identified where appropriate.

Kitchgrow is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If we become aware that information from a child has been collected unintentionally, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

You may limit or control certain data collection through app settings, web account settings where available, account deletion controls, device privacy settings, Advertising ID reset, browser privacy controls, ad personalization settings, permission management, notification settings, and app-store subscription controls.

Where required for web features, we will honor legally recognized browser-based opt-out signals for sale or sharing of personal information when we can reasonably associate the signal with the applicable browser or user session.

You may disable permissions at the operating-system level, although some app features may stop working correctly.

Some limited diagnostic, security, fraud-prevention, purchase-validation, and service-operation data may still be collected where necessary for core functionality, legal compliance, or platform requirements.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. These include local-first mobile storage for core planning data, account-backed security controls for connected and web features, minimized collection, app and service verification, secure transmission where data is sent to connected services, restricted internal access, and industry-standard security practices.

However, no system can guarantee absolute security.

Kitchgrow is operated from India and may use service providers that process data in India, the United States, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or other countries where we or our service providers operate.

When personal information is transferred or processed outside your country, we use safeguards appropriate to the data and applicable law, such as data processing agreements, contractual privacy and security obligations, standard contractual clauses or equivalent transfer mechanisms where applicable, access controls, encryption in transit, and data minimization.

International processing is used only for purposes described in this Privacy Policy, such as hosting, content delivery, account sync, security, analytics, diagnostics, subscriptions, support, and service operation.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our services, technologies, legal requirements, or advertising practices.

Changes become effective when published within the app, website, or app-store listing. Continued use of Kitchgrow after updates means you accept the revised policy.

For support or privacy-related inquiries, you can contact Amalthea Labs LLP using the details below.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal information. You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Users in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and similar regions may have rights to access personal data, request correction or deletion, request data portability, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, and lodge a complaint with a local data protection authority.

California residents may have rights to know or access the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected, request deletion, request correction, opt out of sale or sharing where applicable, limit use or disclosure of sensitive personal information where applicable, and not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.

Kitchgrow does not intentionally collect medical records, precise GPS location, government identification numbers, payment-card numbers, banking credentials, or biometric identifiers. Kitchen Passport and Kitchen Location preferences are optional user-provided planning preferences and are used to provide Kitchgrow features, not to make credit, employment, housing, insurance, medical, or legal decisions.

Most local-only mobile planning data can be removed by clearing app storage or uninstalling the app. Account-backed profile, planning, Kitchen Passport, cookbook interaction, and Kitchen Studio data can be deleted through available account controls or through https://amalthealabs.com/kitchgrow/delete-account.

To exercise privacy rights that cannot be completed directly in the app or web account controls, contact us at support@amalthealabs.com. We may need to verify your request before acting on it, and some records may be retained where legally permitted or required for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, transaction completion, or legal compliance.

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of India.
