Candy Recipe Box

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2025

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Candy Recipe Box (the “App”) and the informational website located at candyrecipebox.app (the “Site”) handle information when you use our services. The App is published for iOS devices and is intended to help you store and manage your own candy recipes for personal use.

We take privacy seriously and aim to collect as little personal information as possible. Where we do receive personal data, we treat it with care and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

2. Controller and contact details

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, the data controller is the individual developer responsible for Candy Recipe Box. If you have any questions or requests about privacy or data protection, you can contact us at:

Email: [email protected]

3. Information processed by the App

Candy Recipe Box is designed so that your recipes and notes are stored primarily on your device. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask you to provide your name, address, or other profile details in order to use the App.

The App may process the following information locally on your device in order to provide its core features:

• Recipe content: titles, ingredients, instructions, categories, tags, and notes that you add.
• Usage preferences: display options, sorting preferences, and other settings you choose in the App.

This information is stored in your device’s local storage or, if you enable it through your device settings, in platform-level backup services provided by Apple (for example, iCloud backup). We do not have direct access to this information.

4. Information we do not intentionally collect

We do not build profiles about you and we do not knowingly collect or process the following through the App:

• Precise location data.
• Contact lists, photos, or media stored on your device (unless you explicitly choose to share such content within the App, if a feature supports it).
• Biometric identifiers or sensitive personal data.

The App does not contain third‑party advertising SDKs or marketing trackers.

5. Analytics, diagnostics, and app store data

When you download Candy Recipe Box from the Apple App Store, Apple may collect basic analytics information, crash logs, and diagnostic data subject to your device settings and Apple’s own privacy policy. These reports may be made available to us in an aggregated or pseudonymous form so that we can understand how the App is performing and improve stability.

We do not combine this information with other data for the purpose of identifying you personally.

6. Website data and cookies

When you visit candyrecipebox.app, our hosting provider may automatically process standard technical information that your browser sends, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and the time and date of requests. This information is typically used to ensure the security and reliable operation of the Site, to prevent abuse, and to understand basic traffic levels.

The Site is designed to operate with a minimal use of cookies. Where cookies or similar technologies are used, they are generally limited to essential functions such as security and basic performance. We do not use cookies to display third‑party ads or to track you across other websites.

7. Contacting us

If you contact us by email at [email protected] or via the support form on this Site, we will process the information you provide in order to respond to your request. This may include your name, email address, the content of your message, and any other details you choose to share.

We use this information solely to handle your enquiry, provide support for Candy Recipe Box, and maintain appropriate records of our communications.

8. Legal bases for processing

Depending on your location, we may rely on different legal bases for processing personal data, including:

• Performance of a contract: where processing is necessary to provide the App and its features.
• Legitimate interests: such as ensuring the security, stability, and improvement of the App and Site.
• Consent: where required by law, for example, if you choose to share optional information with us.

9. Data sharing and service providers

We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating the App and Site – for example, hosting providers, email service providers, or analytics services that operate under appropriate data protection agreements.

These providers are only allowed to process personal data as necessary to perform services on our behalf and are required to protect your data in accordance with applicable laws.

10. International transfers

Because our services and providers may be located in different countries, your information may be processed in jurisdictions outside of your place of residence. Where required by law, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms.

11. Data retention

Information stored locally in the App remains on your device until you choose to delete it, uninstall the App, or clear your device backups. For correspondence and support enquiries, we retain emails and related records for as long as reasonably necessary to resolve your issue, maintain records, and comply with our legal obligations.

12. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights in relation to your personal data, such as the right to:

• Request access to personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal limitations.
• Object to or request restriction of certain processing.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We may ask you to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

13. Children’s privacy

Candy Recipe Box is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under this age. If you believe that a child has provided personal data to us without appropriate consent, please contact us so that we can take appropriate steps to delete the information where required.

14. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data under our control from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

15. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the App, applicable law, or our data practices. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the App or Site after the updated policy has been posted will signify your acceptance of the changes.
