Privacy Policy

This policy explains what Cella collects, why, and the choices you have. We aim to collect as little as possible.

What we collect

• Your account — your email address (we use passwordless magic-link sign-in, so we never store a password).
• What you put in — your pantry inventory, recipes, shopping lists, meal plans, and the cooking history you log.
• Privacy-respecting analytics — when you arrive from a shared link we record the visit, its source, and the referring site's host. We do not store your IP address, set a tracking cookie, or use any third-party analytics service. See our Cookie Policy.

How we use it

• To run the core product — suggest recipes from your inventory, track usage, and power your dashboard.
• To send the emails you ask for (your sign-in link, and notifications you've enabled).
• To understand, in aggregate, which shared links bring people to Cella so we can improve.

Who we share it with

We don't sell your data. We rely on a small set of processors to operate: Resend (sign-in & summary emails), Stripe (payments, if you subscribe), OpenAI (recipe text and, if you use it, photo scanning), fal.ai (recipe images), Open-Meteo (weather, from a coarse location only), and Open Food Facts (barcode lookups, no personal data). They process data only to provide their service to us. A full processing record is kept in our internal compliance documentation.

Shared recipe pages

If you share a recipe, its public page shows the recipe content only — never your notes, ratings, or identity. The link itself is the key; anyone with it can view that recipe.

Retention & your choices

We keep your data while your account is active. You can edit or delete your inventory, recipes, and lists at any time, and you can ask us to delete your account and associated data by emailing us.

Children

Cella isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.

Changes

We'll update this page when our practices change and revise the date above.
