9. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom (UK), our legal basis for collecting and using your personal data depends on the specific information and the context in which we collect it. This includes your consent, contractual necessity, and our legitimate business interests.

10. Data Retention

We retain user data for as long as necessary to operate our services, improve performance, comply with legal obligations, and support business operations.

If you request account deletion, we will deactivate your account and remove personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, and login credentials. However, we may retain anonymized or aggregated data, user-generated content (such as recipes, uploads, or preferences), and system-level logs as part of our product infrastructure, research, and analytics.

You may request removal of specific data beyond account deactivation by contacting us at [email protected]. However, we reserve the right to deny such requests where data retention is necessary for operational integrity, legal compliance, or legitimate business interests. We may also use aggregated or anonymized data to support research, product development, marketing insights, or future business opportunities. This data does not include personally identifiable information.
