Privacy

Za’atar is a private recipe box for one family and the households they choose to connect with. It is invite-only — nobody can sign up on their own — and there is nothing here to monetize, so there is nothing here that sells or shares your data with anyone. This page says plainly what the app stores, why, and who can see it.

What we store

• Your email address and a password, used only to sign you in.
• A display name, if you set one, shown to the rest of your household.
• Your household’s name and its connect code — a short code used only to link two households together.
• The recipes you save: title, description, ingredients, steps, timing, tags, and notes. A recipe’s photo is a link to an image already hosted elsewhere — the app never asks for your camera or photo library.
• Where you are in a recipe while cooking, and any serving-size adjustment, so Cook Mode picks up where you left off on any device.
• If your household connects with another one: that connection, and which recipes have been shared between you.

What we don’t do

• No location, contacts, camera, or photo-library access.
• No advertising, no ad identifiers, no third-party trackers.
• No analytics or crash-reporting service watching what you do in the app.
• Nothing is ever sold or shared with advertisers.

Who can see it

Everyone in your household sees everything in your household’s box. A connected household can see a recipe only after you explicitly share it with them — connecting alone shows nobody anything. Nothing is visible to a household you have not connected with.

Where it lives

Your data is stored with Supabase, the database and authentication service this app runs on. Supabase processes it on our behalf and does not use it for its own purposes. No other third party has access.

Deleting your data

Open Account from the recipe box (web: the top nav; iOS: the toolbar icon next to Your Table) and choose Delete my account. This removes your login and anything personal to it, permanently. Recipes and notes you added stay in the household for everyone else there — they belong to the family, not to you alone. Questions about what stays or goes: email mdrzewie@gmail.com.
