Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 29, 2026
This policy explains what data the Meal Planner & Recipes - Chive app ("Chive") processes, what it is used for and what you can do about it. For any privacy question, write to us at support@chiveplanner.com.
1. No account, no sign-in
Chive does not ask you to create an account or sign in. We do not collect your name, your email address or any other contact details in the app.
2. Data you keep in the app
To build your weekly plan, the app stores the following on your device only:
- Plan preferences: country, ZIP code (US only), supermarket, household size, cooking days, weekly budget, food styles, proteins and kitchen appliances.
- The diet and allergens you choose. These may reveal information about your health: they are used only to exclude recipes and never reach our servers. Providing them is optional.
- Your weekly plan and its history, the shopping list, your favorite recipes, ratings and private notes, recent searches and settings such as the reminder.
This data is not sent to our servers or to third parties. If iCloud is on, the app keeps a copy in your private iCloud database (CloudKit) so you can restore it on another iPhone; only you can access it with your Apple ID and we cannot read it. You can turn the copy off in the app's Settings. It may also be included in your device backups. The recipe catalog ships inside the app; recipe photos are downloaded from our image server, which, like any website, receives technical connection data (such as your IP address) without linking it to you.
3. Subscriptions · RevenueCat
Chive is offered as a subscription with a free trial. Apple processes the payment and we never see your payment details. We use RevenueCat to verify your subscription and give you access to the app; it processes an anonymous identifier generated by the app, your purchase history and your subscription status. See the RevenueCat privacy policy.
4. Usage analytics · PostHog
To learn which screens work and improve the app, Chive sends pseudonymous usage events (no name or contact details) to PostHog (servers in the European Union): which onboarding screens are viewed, whether a plan is generated or regenerated, whether the subscription screen is opened or closed, and similar actions. Each event carries a random identifier created by the app, the app version, and the device language and region. It does not include your name, your diet or allergy answers, your plan, your email or the advertising identifier, and no personal profile is built. Deleting your account in the app erases that identifier. See the PostHog privacy policy.
The app contains no advertising or crash-reporting tools. We do not track you across other apps or websites and we do not use the advertising identifier (IDFA). If you share your device's diagnostics with Apple, Apple may provide us with aggregated crash reports under its own policy.
5. Notifications
If you allow it, the app schedules a reminder on your device before the free trial ends and, if you turn it on, a weekly planning reminder. It is a local notification: we do not send your information to any notification service.
6. Android waitlist · Resend
If you join the Android waitlist on this website, we use your email to let you know when the app is available on Google Play. This is based on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time by writing to us or using the unsubscribe link. We use Resend to store the list and send the notice; see the Resend privacy policy.
7. Purposes and legal basis
Subscription data (section 3) is processed to provide the service you request (performance of a contract). Pseudonymous analytics (section 4) rely on our legitimate interest in improving the app. Diet and allergens are used with your explicit consent when you provide them and never reach our servers (only your private iCloud copy, if enabled); you can withdraw it by removing them in Plan preferences.
8. Processors and transfers
RevenueCat processes subscription data, PostHog processes usage events, Cloudflare serves the recipe photos and, if you join the Android waitlist, Resend stores your email, all on our behalf. RevenueCat, Cloudflare and Resend may process data outside the European Economic Area with the safeguards required by law, such as standard contractual clauses. We do not sell your data or share it with third parties for advertising.
9. Retention and deletion
Your data stays on your device (and in your iCloud copy, if enabled) until you delete it. You can do so at any time in Settings → Delete my account: your preferences, plan, list and saved recipes are erased, including the iCloud copy, and the app returns to the start. Uninstalling the app also deletes them. Neither cancels your subscription, which you manage in your Apple Account settings. RevenueCat purchase records may be kept for as long as the law requires.
10. Children
Chive is not directed at children under 14, or under the minimum age set by the law of your country.
11. Your rights
You can request access to, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability of your data, and withdraw your consent at any time without affecting earlier processing. Write to us at support@chiveplanner.com. You can also lodge a complaint with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (aepd.es) or the authority in your country.
12. Changes
If we change this policy to reflect changes in the app, we will update the date above and let you know about important changes.
This is a translation of the Spanish Política de privacidad. If they differ, the Spanish version prevails.
