Privacy Policy
Last updated: 4/18/2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to NoAdsRecipe. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you about how we look after your personal data when you visit our website and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
2. Information We Collect
We collect and process minimal data to provide our recipe parsing service:
- Recipe URLs: When you submit a URL to our service, we store that URL in our database to improve our service.
- Recipe Content: We store parsed recipe data (titles, ingredients, instructions, images) from the URLs you submit to provide faster access in the future.
- Technical Data: We collect limited technical information automatically, including the type of browser you are using, the referring website, and the origin of requests to our API for security purposes.
- Error Reports: If an error occurs when processing a recipe, we log the URL and error information to help improve our service.
We do not collect or store:
- Personal identification information (names, email addresses, etc.)
- User accounts or profiles
- Browsing history beyond the recipe URLs you directly submit
- Cookies for tracking or advertising purposes
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the limited information we collect solely to:
- Process and display recipe content without ads or clutter
- Improve our recipe parsing capabilities
- Cache recipes to provide faster service to all users
- Maintain and improve our website's security and functionality
- Troubleshoot issues with recipe parsing
We do not use your data for:
- Targeted advertising or marketing
- Selling or sharing with third parties for commercial purposes
- Creating user profiles or tracking your behavior
4. Data Storage and Security
Recipe URLs and parsed recipe data are stored in our MySQL database. We implement appropriate security measures to protect this data from unauthorized access. Our API endpoints are protected with authentication mechanisms to ensure they can only be accessed by our website and authorized mobile applications.
We do not use tracking cookies, but our service may utilize essential technical measures like browser storage to maintain functionality during your current session.
5. Data Retention
We retain recipe URLs and parsed recipe data indefinitely to maintain our recipe database and provide faster service to all users. Since this data does not contain personal information, there are no privacy concerns with this retention policy.
Error logs may be retained for troubleshooting purposes but do not contain personal identifiable information.
6. Your Rights
Since we do not collect personal data that can identify you, traditional data subject rights (such as the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data) do not generally apply to our service. However, we respect your privacy choices:
- You can browse our website without submitting any recipe URLs if you prefer not to have that information stored
- You can control your browser settings to limit technical information shared with any website, including ours
7. Third-Party Links
Our service processes recipes from third-party websites. When you submit a URL, we fetch content from that URL to extract recipe information. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party websites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any websites whose recipes you access through our service.
8. Children's Privacy
Our service is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or maintain information from children under 13 years of age.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this 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 "Last updated" date.
