Privacy Policy
Last updated: 31 August 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information CookInstruction collects and how it's used. CookInstruction is available worldwide, and we aim to apply the same privacy standard to everyone regardless of location. This is placeholder content for a design prototype — replace it with a policy reviewed by a qualified lawyer, and adjust it to match your actual data practices (including GDPR, CCPA, or NDPR obligations where they apply) before launch.
1. Information we collect
- Account information — your name, email address, country, and password (or, if you continue with Google, the basic profile details Google shares with us).
- Activity — recipes you save, reviews you leave, and searches or country filters you use, so we can show you a more relevant site.
- Device and usage data — basic technical information like browser type and pages visited, collected automatically.
2. How we use your information
We use your information to run your account, save your favorite recipes, personalize recommendations (including by country), respond to messages sent through the contact form, and improve the site. We don't sell your personal information.
3. Signing in with Google
If you choose "Continue with Google," Google shares your name, email address, and profile photo with us so we can create or sign in to your account. We don't receive your Google password. You can review or revoke CookInstruction's access at any time from your Google Account settings.
4. Third-party recipe data
Some recipes, images, and cuisine/country tags on CookInstruction are sourced from third-party recipe data providers. Browsing recipes doesn't share your personal information with those providers.
5. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technology to keep you signed in, remember preferences like your country filter, and understand how the site is used.
6. Sharing
We share information with service providers who help us run the site (such as hosting and email delivery), and when required by law. We don't sell personal information to advertisers.
7. Your choices
You can update your account details, unsave recipes, or delete your account at any time. You can also ask us to access, correct, or delete your personal information via the contact page.
8. Children's privacy
CookInstruction isn't directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from children under the age set by local law.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We'll change the "Last updated" date above when we do.
