Recipes Book (called Oshxona in Central Asia) is an app that helps you choose a dish for your family. This page explains what data is collected, why it is needed and how to delete it. It is written in plain language.
What data we collect
Family members' names as you entered them, their allergies and disliked foods, the halal setting, what you cooked and how you rated it, meal photos, recipes you imported or wrote yourself, your reviews, and your chosen language and script. The app also works without signing up — then an anonymous identifier is created for your device. Your answers from the first-run introduction stay on your phone. Only the goals you tick there (for example “lighter menu” or “learn to cook”) are counted in our statistics, without your name; your weight and training answers are never sent.
Allergy data
Allergies are medical data, and they are specially protected. We store them when you enter and save them yourself: entering and saving them is your consent. Until you enter anything, nothing is stored. They are used for one purpose: to exclude completely the dishes that are not suitable from the suggestions. We do not sell them or use them for advertising. You can delete them at any time.
Photos
Only photos of dishes. The app never asks you to photograph people and does not use face recognition. Family members get a letter or an icon, never a photo. Meal photos are visible only to your family — except a photo you attach to a review yourself.
Contacts
When you invite a family member, your phone book is not sent to the server. You choose one contact in the system window, and the app keeps only a cryptographic fingerprint of the number, not the number itself.
Signing in with Google or Apple
It's optional. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your email address and account identifier from them — so your family can be opened on a new phone. We never show your email or use it for mailings. After an Apple sign-in, an Apple key is kept on your phone: when you delete your account, it is used to disconnect Sign in with Apple too.
Kamila and AI features
Your questions to Kamila, a photo of a recipe page, a photo of a dish for counting calories, the text of a recipe you import and your requests to change a recipe go through our server to Google Gemini, which prepares the answer; for an AI picture, the dish's name and ingredients are sent. Family members' names and allergies are never sent: Kamila receives only your question and a list of dishes already chosen for your family. We don't keep the photos taken for calories or of recipe pages.
The Ultima subscription
The subscription is bought and paid for in the App Store or Google Play: only the store sees your card details — we never receive them. Through Superwall, the service that shows the subscription screen, we learn your account identifier in the app, which plan you have and until when it runs — so Ultima can be opened for your whole family. You can cancel it in the App Store or Google Play; deleting your account does not cancel it.
Reviews
A review of a recipe — the rating, the text and a photo of the dish — is shown to other users without your name. A rating with stars only appears straight away. A review with text or a photo appears only after we check it: for that we receive the text and the rating in a private Telegram chat, and the photo as a link that stops working after an hour. Any review can be reported, and an author's reviews can be hidden. Your reviews are deleted with your account.
Statistics and errors
To understand how the app is working, we collect aggregated statistics — for example, how many dishes were cooked. These data do not include names, phone numbers or allergies. If the app crashes, an error report is sent, also without personal data.
Where data is stored
Data is stored on servers in the European Union (Frankfurt, Germany). The law of Uzbekistan may require certain categories of data to be stored inside the country; this question is under legal review, and the place of storage will be changed if necessary.
Who helps us run the app
These services process data only on our instructions: Supabase — data storage (Frankfurt, Germany), PostHog — aggregate statistics (EU), Sentry — crash reports (EU), Superwall — the subscription screen and its status, Google Gemini — Kamila's answers and the other AI features, Telegram — bringing reviews to us for checking. Signing in with Apple or Google, and payments, are handled by Apple and Google themselves. The app has no advertising services.
Who sees the data
Your family's data is seen only by those who have joined this family. Other families cannot see it — this is a restriction at the database level. We do not sell your data.
Data about other people
You add the family members. Before entering data such as an allergy, you must have their consent, and for a child, a parent's consent. Enter only what is really necessary.
Children
The app is intended for an adult — the person who cooks for the family. Children are not expected to sign up on their own. Data about a child in the family is entered and deleted by an adult.
Deletion and your rights
You can delete your account at any time in the app: Profile → Delete account. This completely and irreversibly deletes your family, its members, allergies, cooking log, your recipes, reviews and photos. If you signed in with Apple, the app disconnects that sign-in too — or shows you how to do it in Settings. A subscription is cancelled separately, in the App Store or Google Play. To get a copy of your data or have it corrected, write to the address below.
Changes
If the policy changes, we will say so in the app and update the date above.
