Kitchen Network Privacy Policy
This policy covers the Kitchen Network mobile apps on Google Play (Android, package com.bulutdev.kitchennetworks) and on the App Store (iOS, bundle id com.bulutdev.kitchennetworks), and the account you use with them at kitchennetwork.app. The same text applies to both stores.
Who we are
Kitchen Network is a social kitchen. You can browse recipes, keep an account, and share a recipe. The operator is the publisher of Kitchen Network. Contact: [email protected].
Information you give us
- Account: email address, username, display name, and a password. The password is stored only as a hash.
- Sign-in with Google or Apple, if you choose it. We receive the name, email address, and profile photo those services share with us.
- Profile details you choose to add: bio, gender, birth year, country, city, and preferred language.
- Photos you upload for a profile, a recipe, or a comment.
- Recipes you publish, including the title, description, ingredients, steps, and photos.
- Messages you send from the contact form.
Information stored on your phone
Comments, likes, ratings, and favorites in the app are kept on the device. They are not sent to our servers as a social feed. Deleting the app removes that copy.
Information collected automatically
- The country suggested from your phone’s language and region setting. We do not read GPS or precise location.
- The country you pick in the app, so the catalog can show recipes from that place.
- Standard server logs, such as IP address and the time of a request, used to run and protect the service.
Advertising
The apps show ads through Google AdMob. Google may receive a device advertising identifier, IP address, and information about the ad you see or tap, as described in Google’s privacy policy. On iOS, that identifier is available only when the system allows it. We do not sell your personal information.
How we use information
We use it to create and protect your account, show and store recipes, display the catalog for the country you chose, show ads, answer a message you send, and enforce the community rules. Recipe title, your username, and your country are visible to other members when you publish.
How long we keep it
Account, recipe, and uploaded photo data stay until you delete the account or we remove content that breaks the rules. Server logs are kept only as long as needed to operate and secure the service.
Deletion
In the app, open your profile, edit your details, and choose delete account. That removes the account and the recipes tied to it. You can also email [email protected] and ask us to delete the account.
Children
Kitchen Network is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly create an account for a child under 16.
Sharing
We share information with the services that run the product: our host, Google AdMob, and Google or Apple when you use those sign-in buttons. We share information if the law requires it. We do not sell personal information to data brokers.
Changes
If this policy changes, the effective date at the top will change. Continued use of the app after that date means you accept the updated policy.
