Vitality in Every Sip ("we", "our", or "the App") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password (stored securely using industry-standard hashing).

Usage Data: We collect information about how you use the App, including recipes you view, favorites you save, notes you add, and plans you create.

AI-Generated Content: When you use the AI Recipe Creator or Weekly Plan Generator, you may provide health goals, dietary preferences, and taste preferences. This information is used solely to generate your personalized content.

🔒 Medical Information: Any health-related information you provide for AI recipe or plan generation is used only for that single request and is NEVER stored in our databases. It is immediately discarded after generating your content.

Legal Requirements: If required by law, regulation, or legal process.
Service Providers: We use third-party AI services to generate recipes and plans. Only the content of your request (health goals, preferences) is sent — never your personal account information.
