Privacy Policy

Welcome to no-ad.recipes (“we,” “our,” or “the Service”). We respect your privacy, and we’re committed to being transparent about the very limited information we collect and how we use it.

1. Introduction

At no-ad.recipes, we aim to provide a clean, ad-free way to view recipes. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. Because we collect very little data, our privacy practices are simple and straightforward.

2. Information We Collect

We only collect the information necessary for the Service to function:

Data we store

• Your name and email - When you login and submit a recipe, we store the name and email address associated with your logged in profile. Saving this information allows us to help you retrieve your recipe for later editing. We do not share your name or email address with any third parties.
• Parsed recipe data - We save extracted recipe details (title, ingredients, instructions, images) so we can load them faster next time.
• Technical information - We automatically collect basic technical data such as your browser type, referring site, and API request origin for security and diagnostics.
• Error logs - If something goes wrong with the website, we log the URL and error details to fix problems.

Data we do not collect

• Any other personal identifiers
• User accounts or login information
• Cookies for advertising or tracking
• Browsing history

3. How We Use the Information

We use the information we collect only to:

• Process and display recipes in a clean, ad-free format
• Improve the accuracy and reliability of our recipe parser
• Cache recipe data so pages load more quickly
• Maintain the security and performance of our website
• Diagnose and fix parsing issues

We never:

• Serve targeted ads
• Create user profiles
• Sell or share data for marketing or commercial purposes

4. Data Storage & Security

Recipe URLs and parsed recipe data are stored in our database. We take reasonable technical measures to protect this data from unauthorized access. Our API uses authentication controls to ensure only our site and authorized applications can access it.

We do not use tracking cookies. Some essential browser storage may be used during your session to ensure the site works properly. If you login to submit or edit a recipe, your authorization provider (Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc) may set a cookie in the browser to represent your session.

5. Data Retention

Because recipe data does not publish personal information, we retain recipe URLs and parsed recipe content indefinitely to support our recipe library and improve performance.

Error logs may also be kept for troubleshooting but contain no personal identifiers.

6. Your Rights & Choices

Since we do not store personal data, typical data subject rights (such as access, correction, or deletion) generally do not apply.

However, you still have control:

• You may use the site without submitting any recipes
• You can adjust your browser settings to limit what technical data is shared with our site

7. Third-Party Links

Our Service sometimes links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site whose recipes you view through our platform.

8. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under that age.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Any updates will be posted on this page, along with a revised “Last updated” date.
