What data Cookbuk v0.1 stores

Cookbuk stores your recipes and preferences exclusively on your device using Android's local storage (AsyncStorage). No account, no cloud sync, no server-side storage.

• Recipes you create or import (title, category, ingredients, steps, notes)
• Your preferences (e.g. metric or imperial units)
• An internal flag indicating the sample recipes were seeded on first launch

What data is NOT collected

• No accounts or login required
• No analytics, no tracking, no telemetry
• No network requests — the app works fully offline
• No third-party services integrated
• No advertising IDs

Permissions

Cookbuk v0.1 requires no system permissions. Recipe text is entered directly in the app — there is no camera or file access.

Data deletion

You can delete recipes individually within the app at any time. To remove all app data locally, go to: Android Settings → Apps → Cookbuk → Storage → Clear data

To delete your server-side data (v0.2+ import feature), open Settings → Data & Privacy → Clear my server data inside the app. This removes your device ID, import URLs, timestamps, and usage counters from our backend.

AI Recipe Import (v0.2+)

Starting with v0.2, you can optionally import recipes from web URLs via our backend at api.cookbuk.kikomedystudio.ch. This feature is opt-in — the service is only called when you tap Import → From web link.

What is sent to the server:

• A randomly generated device ID (UUIDv4, stored locally on first import) — used for rate limiting. Not linked to your name, email, phone number, or any account.
• The URL you are importing.
• A timestamp and processing metadata (method used, duration, token count).

What the server does:

• Fetches the public webpage at the URL you provided and extracts the recipe (first via schema.org/Recipe, then via a Claude Haiku 4.5 LLM call as fallback).
• Stores the above metadata for up to 90 days for abuse prevention and debugging. After that it is automatically deleted.
• Enforces a daily limit of 5 imports per device.

What is NOT stored: the recipe content itself is sent back to your device and not retained on the server. No personal identifiers (name, email, IP-address-to-identity link, location) are stored. The HTTPS connection terminates at our server; request logs are kept only for standard operational reasons and rotated after 14 days.

AI provider: recipe text extracted from the webpage may be sent to Anthropic (Claude Haiku 4.5 API) as a single stateless request. Anthropic's commercial API does not train on your data. See Anthropic's privacy policy.
