MINTORY ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use our mobile application (the "App").
1. Information We Collect
To provide our premium recipe vault and AI services, we may collect the following information:
- User-Provided Content: Images of handwritten recipes, transcribed text, and recipe titles you upload to the App.
- Account Information: Email addresses (if you choose to sign in via Apple or Google).
- Purchase Data: Information regarding your In-App Purchases (Butter packs and Subscriptions). Payment processing is handled by Apple; we do not store your credit card details.
- Usage Data: Technical information such as device type, OS version, and App usage statistics for performance improvement.
- Partner Program: If you apply for or participate in our partner (influencer) program, we may collect your email address, social media or channel information, and any other contact or activity details you provide to us.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected data for the following purposes:
- AI Digitalization: To scan, recognize, and convert your handwritten recipes into digital data.
- Vault Management: To securely store and organize your recipes within your private vault.
- Service Maintenance: To manage your "Butter" balance and subscription status.
- Communication: To provide customer support and send important service updates.
- Partner Program: We use partner program data to evaluate applications, provide partner benefits (e.g. badges, feature support), respond to your inquiries, and operate the program. We retain this data for the duration of your participation and for a reasonable period after the end of the relationship, unless we are required to keep it longer by law.
3. AI Data Processing & Third-Party Sharing
MINTORY utilizes advanced AI models (such as Google Gemini or OpenAI) to provide scanning and image generation features.
- AI Processing: When you scan a recipe, the image or text may be transmitted to our AI partners for analysis. This data is used solely for the purpose of providing the service and is not used to identify you personally by these third parties.
- Third-Party Services: We may use third-party analytics (e.g., Google Analytics for Firebase) and Apple's In-App Purchase system to ensure a seamless experience.
4. Data Retention and Deletion
- Your data is stored as long as your account is active.
- You may request the deletion of your data at any time by contacting us or by using the "Delete Account" feature within the App. Upon deletion, all your recipes and personal data will be permanently removed from our servers.
5. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
6. Children's Privacy
Our App is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the effective date.
