How We Use Your Information
- To provide recipe digitization and structuring services
- To maintain your digital recipe collection
- To manage purchases, scan balances and any subscription access
- To enable recipe sharing based on your preferences
- To process payments through our payment provider
- To operate, secure, and improve our platform
- To comply with legal obligations
AI Processing
- When you capture a recipe from photos, pasted text or a supported link, we may send relevant images and text to AI and OCR processors to read handwriting or print, identify food and drink recipes, structure ingredients and steps, and create a short preview.
- A supported social import may retrieve public caption or page content and, when needed, audio for transcription. The resulting text or transcript may be retained as the saved recipe’s source. Temporary audio used for import processing is scheduled for cleanup; it is separate from an audio note you choose to keep.
- When you use recipe questions, translation or nutrition tools, relevant recipe content and your request may be sent to an AI processor. Ask the recipe uses the selected recipe, its source text and review context; question text is not retained in our analytics or question-usage records.
- Images may also be assessed to decide whether they are suitable food photographs for a recipe cover.
- We currently use Google Cloud Document AI for OCR and OpenAI for recipe understanding. We may also use Anthropic for recipe understanding when that capability is enabled for your environment.
- When you explicitly request recipe enhancements, AI may propose edits. Proposals are not part of your recipe until you accept them.
- When you explicitly request a generated dish image, AI creates an interpretive image. It is not a photograph of your actual dish, and it is stored separately from your uploaded scan.
- We do not use Boundary Studio or similar third-party prompt-tracing tools for your recipe content.
- We send a hashed safety identifier—not your email—to OpenAI when required by that API. We do not put recipe text or images into analytics tools.
How We Share Your Information
Service Providers
- Google Cloud Platform — application hosting, database, object storage, and Document AI OCR
- OpenAI — recipe text and image processing, audio transcription, and available recipe assistance, enhancement or image-generation features
- Anthropic — recipe text processing and assistance when enabled
- Stytch — authentication
- Apple App Store, Google Play or Stripe — purchase processing and verification, according to the payment method you use
- PostHog — product analytics (usage events, not recipe bodies or images)
Recipe Sharing
- Recipes are only shared according to your privacy settings
- Public recipes and public share links may be accessible to people without a Tradish account
- Cookbook members can access shared content according to their roles and the cookbook’s permissions
- Recipe export permissions govern whether content and original media can appear in a shared cookbook export
- Revoking sharing access does not recall copies already downloaded or saved by others
Data Security
- Encryption in transit to our services and providers
- Access controls and authenticated API sessions
- Private object storage for recipe media with signed delivery where applicable
- Operational monitoring without storing raw AI prompts or completions in logs
Retention and Deletion
- We keep your account and recipe records while your account is active.
- Moving a recipe to Trash removes it from your library and gives it a 30-day restore window. You can request permanent deletion sooner through Delete now. After the window ends, the recipe is eligible for permanent cleanup. Cleanup is not always immediate and can take longer than 30 days.
- Once permanent deletion has started, the recipe cannot be restored while its remaining files are being removed. The app distinguishes a confirmed deletion from cleanup that is still pending.
- Account deletion removes sign-in access and account and recipe records, and starts removal of associated media. Removal of associated files may continue after account deletion, including cleanup of processing work already in progress.
- Export downloads have an expiry shown in the app. Copies you download or share are not removed from another device when an export expires or you delete your account.
- AI providers handle submitted content under their applicable service terms. Account deletion does not itself recall information already sent to a provider.
