Data Deletion Request
Effective date: July 20, 2026
This page explains how to delete data associated with Recipe Healthifier (developed by Recipe Healthifier), and what's removed versus what's kept. Recipe Healthifier has no user accounts and no login — there is no "delete my account" step, because there is no account. Instead, deletion works in two parts: your on-device data (which you control directly) and a small amount of server-side data tied to an anonymous identifier (which you can ask us to remove).
Steps to request deletion
Step 1 — Uninstall the app (deletes your on-device data immediately)
Your anonymous device ID, your rule preferences, and your saved recipe library are stored only on your device. Uninstalling Recipe Healthifier permanently deletes all of it right away — no request, waiting period, or contact with us is required for this step.
Step 2 — Email us to remove server-side data tied to your anonymous ID
Recipe Healthifier has no accounts, so there's no name or email on file to look up. Server-side, the only things we keep are described below in "What is deleted vs. kept" — and the only one kept indefinitely is a flag tied to your anonymous device ID. To have it removed, email [email protected] with a request to delete your data, and include your anonymous ID if you have it. If you can locate your anonymous ID in the app's Settings screen, include it; otherwise, email us and we'll help you identify the data to remove.
Step 3 — What happens next
We locate any server-side record tied to the anonymous ID you provide (or that we help you identify) and delete it. Since this is a manual, non-automated process handled by a small team, please allow up to 30 days for confirmation. There is no recipe content or account data to search for — only the short-lived and long-lived technical records described below.
What is deleted vs. kept
- Anonymous device ID, rule preferences, saved recipe library (on-device): deleted immediately and permanently when you uninstall the app. We never receive a copy of these.
- Recipe text, URLs, or photos you submit for conversion: processed transiently to produce your result and not stored in a database afterward — there is nothing retained to delete.
- Rate-limiting counters (tied to your anonymous ID or IP address): expire automatically after about 26 hours. No request needed.
- One-time free-preview "used" flag (tied to your anonymous ID only): kept indefinitely by design, to prevent reuse of the free preview — contains no personal information or recipe content. This is the main thing a deletion request under Step 2 would remove.
- Subscription entitlement cache: kept for up to 1 hour, then re-verified automatically.
