GravyTime Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 8, 2026
GravyTime ("GravyTime," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and the choices you have when using the GravyTime website, web application, progressive web application, and related services.
By using GravyTime, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
## 1. Information We Collect
The information we collect depends on how you use GravyTime.
### Account Information
If you create a GravyTime account, we may collect information such as:
* Email address
* Name or display name
* Account identifier
* Authentication provider
* Account and subscription status
* Account creation and login information
GravyTime also allows users to begin using the service as a guest. Guest users may be assigned an anonymous account identifier so that recipes, meal plans, pantry information, shopping lists, and other app data can be associated with their session.
If you later create a permanent account, we may associate the information created while using GravyTime as a guest with your permanent account.
## 2. Facebook Login
GravyTime may allow you to create an account or sign in using Facebook.
When you choose Facebook Login, Facebook may provide GravyTime with information you have authorized Facebook to share, which may include:
* Your Facebook account identifier
* Your name
* Your email address
* Other basic profile information permitted through the Facebook Login process
We use information received through Facebook only to authenticate your account, create or maintain your GravyTime profile, and provide GravyTime services.
GravyTime does not receive your Facebook password.
Your use of Facebook is also governed by Meta's own terms and privacy policies.
You can remove GravyTime's access to your Facebook account through your Facebook settings. You may also request deletion of your GravyTime account and associated data as described in the **Data Deletion** section of this Privacy Policy.

Information you submit to an AI-powered feature may be sent to a technology service provider for processing when necessary to provide that feature.

AI-generated results may occasionally be inaccurate. Users should use appropriate judgment when following cooking, allergy, nutrition, food-storage, or food-safety recommendations.

## 12. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
However, no online service or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

* Provide GravyTime
* Maintain your account

Guest account information may be less recoverable than information associated with a permanent account.
Creating a free GravyTime account is recommended if you want your information to remain associated with you across devices.
When an account deletion request is completed, we will delete or de-identify information associated with the account unless retention is required or permitted for legitimate legal, security, fraud-prevention, accounting, or regulatory purposes.

GravyTime is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
