Privacy Policy

PromptBite, Inc. (“PromptBite,” “we,” “us”) makes the PromptBite iOS app — an AI cooking assistant that suggests recipes, builds a grocery cart, and guides you through cooking. This policy applies to the app and to promptbite.app.

1. Information we collect

Account information

PromptBite uses Sign in with Apple. There is no separate email signup or password. When you sign in, we receive an identifier from Apple and the email address you choose to share — which may be Apple’s private relay address rather than your personal email. We use this to create and secure your account.

Information you provide to use the app

• Recipe requests — the text prompts you type (e.g. “quick pasta dinner for 2”).
• Photos you take to Scan ingredients — when you use Cook Vision, the photo is sent for ingredient recognition so the agent can suggest recipes. Photos are processed to detect ingredients and are not used to build an advertising profile.
• Cooking preferences — your allergies, dietary tags, dislikes, prep-level preference, and kitchen equipment. Allergies are used as a safety constraint on every recipe.
• Pantry and saved recipes — the items you add to your pantry and the recipes you save.
• Voice input — if you use voice features, speech is transcribed to text so the agent can act on it.

Purchases

If you subscribe to PromptBite Premium, the purchase is processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your card number. We use a subscription provider (RevenueCat) to confirm your subscription status so we can unlock Premium features.

Connected services

If you connect Amazon (via Login with Amazon) to place grocery orders, you authorize that connection through Amazon. Your Amazon credentials are handled by Amazon, not by PromptBite. We use the connection to build your cart and hand it off to Amazon for checkout. We never see your prices, payment details, or final order total — those live entirely within Amazon.

Information collected automatically

To keep the app working and diagnose problems, we and our infrastructure providers process basic technical data such as a device identifier, app version, and error/diagnostic logs. We do not sell this data, and PromptBite does not use third-party advertising trackers.

2. How we use your information

• To generate recipes that respect your preferences, allergies, and pantry.
• To recognize ingredients from the photos you Scan.
• To build and refine your grocery cart and hand it off to Amazon.
• To guide you through cooking, including timers and read-aloud steps.
• To manage your account, your subscription, and the free-tier monthly limits.
• To send notifications you’ve enabled (such as cooking-timer alerts).
• To maintain, secure, debug, and improve the app.
• To respond when you contact support.

3. AI processing

PromptBite is built on AI. Your recipe prompts, the photos you Scan, and the relevant parts of your preferences and pantry are sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) to generate recipes and recognize ingredients. This processing happens to deliver the feature you asked for. Our AI provider processes this content to return a result and does not use it to train its models on your data under our business terms.

AI can make mistakes. As noted in the app, always read a recipe’s ingredients yourself if you have an allergy — PromptBite is not designed or marketed as medically safe for severe allergies.

4. How your information is shared

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that operate the app on our behalf, and only as needed to provide it:

• Apple — Sign in with Apple, App Store subscription billing, and push notifications.
• Supabase — our backend and database host, which stores your account data, preferences, pantry, and saved recipes.
• Anthropic — AI processing of recipe prompts and ingredient photos (see §3).
• RevenueCat — subscription status management.
• Amazon (Login with Amazon / Amazon Associates) — grocery cart assembly and checkout, only if you connect it.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or users’ safety, or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition.

5. Data retention

We keep your account data for as long as your account exists. Scan photos are retained only as long as needed to return ingredient results and support the feature, and are not used to build an advertising profile. When you delete your account, we delete or de-identify the personal data associated with it, except where we must retain certain records to meet legal, tax, or security obligations.

6. Your choices and rights

• Edit your data — update your allergies, diet, dislikes, pantry, and saved recipes any time in the app.
• Notifications — turn notifications on or off in Profile → Notifications or in iOS Settings.
• Camera and microphone — Scan and voice features ask for permission; you can revoke access in iOS Settings at any time.
• Subscriptions — manage or cancel Premium in iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions.
• Access or delete your account — email us at hello@promptbite.app to request access to, or deletion of, your personal data.

Depending on where you live (for example, the EEA/UK or California), you may have additional rights to access, correct, delete, or port your data, and to object to certain processing. Contact us to exercise them — we won’t discriminate against you for doing so.

7. Children

PromptBite is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we’ll delete it.

8. Security

We use industry-standard measures — including encryption in transit and access controls on our backend — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data and to limit who can access it.

9. International users

PromptBite is operated from the United States, and our service providers may process data in the United States and other countries. By using the app, you understand your information may be transferred to and processed in countries with different data-protection laws than your own.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we’ll update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Your continued use of PromptBite after an update means you accept the revised policy.
