Privacy Policy

Hangre asks for permission to access your device’s camera and photo library so you can scan ingredients in your kitchen, refrigerator, or pantry. When you take a photo or upload an image, that image is transmitted securely to our third-party AI providers (described below) for the sole purpose of identifying the ingredients shown. We do not retain your photos on our servers after processing is complete. We never use your photos for advertising, profiling, facial recognition, or any purpose unrelated to generating recipe suggestions for you.

When the App identifies ingredients in your photos, the resulting ingredient list (for example: “chicken, rice, soy sauce”) is stored on your device and, optionally, in our backend so that we can generate recipe suggestions and remember what’s in your kitchen across sessions. You can delete this ingredient data at any time from within the App.

To generate recipes, we send your ingredient list and basic preferences (such as dietary restrictions you optionally provide) to our third-party AI providers. The recipes returned to you, along with your interactions with them (saving, cooking, rating), may be stored to improve your future suggestions. We do not sell, rent, or share this content with advertisers or other third parties for marketing purposes.

If you create an account, we collect your email address and any other information you provide. We also automatically collect basic technical information such as device type, operating system version, app version, language preference, anonymous usage analytics, and crash logs, which help us improve the App and fix bugs.

Hangre subscriptions are processed through Apple’s App Store. We do not collect or store your credit card number, billing address, or other payment details. Apple manages all payment processing in accordance with Apple’s own privacy policies. We do receive information from Apple confirming that you have an active subscription and the type of subscription you hold.

We use OpenAI for image recognition (identifying ingredients in your photos) and Anthropic for recipe generation. When your photos and ingredient lists are sent to these providers for processing, the data is transmitted securely. Per their published policies at the time of writing, OpenAI and Anthropic do not use API-submitted data to train their models. We encourage you to review their privacy practices at openai.com/policies/privacy-policy and anthropic.com/legal/privacy.

All subscription payments are processed by Apple via the App Store. We do not see or store your payment information.

We use industry-standard analytics and crash-reporting services to understand how the App is used in aggregate and to fix bugs. These tools may collect anonymized device identifiers and usage events. They do not collect your name, photos, or content.

You can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, or request that we delete your account and associated data, by emailing hello@bricklabs.dev. We will respond within 30 days.

You can revoke Hangre’s access to your camera or photos at any time through your device’s privacy settings. The App will continue to work for browsing existing recipes, but new ingredient scans will be unavailable.

You can enable or disable push notifications at any time through your device settings.

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what categories of personal information we collect, to request deletion of your personal information, to opt out of any sale or sharing of your personal information (we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising), and to be free from discrimination for exercising these rights.

If you reside in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing of, and port your personal data. You may also withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, email hello@bricklabs.dev.
