Privacy Policy

Overview

Chef Chop ("we," "us," or "our") operates the chefchop.app website and service. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our AI cooking assistant.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and any profile information you choose to provide, such as dietary preferences or cooking skill level.

Conversation Data

We store the conversations you have with Chef Chop, including your questions, the recipes and guidance we provide, and any feedback you give (such as thumbs up/down ratings). This helps us improve recommendations and remember your preferences.

Usage Data

We collect standard usage information such as pages visited, features used, and session duration. We use PostHog for privacy-friendly product analytics.

How We Use Your Information

• Personalization — To learn your cooking preferences, dietary restrictions, and skill level so recommendations improve over time.
• Service delivery — To provide AI-powered cooking guidance, recipe suggestions, and meal planning.
• Product improvement — To understand how people use Chef Chop and make it better.
• Communication — To send you service-related messages and occasional product tips or re-engagement reminders. You can unsubscribe from non-essential emails at any time. We will never sell your email address.

AI and Your Data

Chef Chop uses large language models to generate cooking guidance. Your conversations may be processed by our AI providers to generate responses. We do not use your personal conversations to train AI models. Aggregated, anonymized usage patterns may be used to improve our service.

Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely using Supabase (hosted on AWS). We use encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest. We follow industry best practices for securing your personal information.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers necessary to operate Chef Chop (hosting, analytics, AI processing), and only as needed to provide the service.

Your Rights

You can:

• Access and download your conversation history
• Update or correct your account information
• Delete your account and associated data
• Opt out of analytics tracking

To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@chefchop.app.

Referral and Attribution

We record how users discover Chef Chop — for example, which link they clicked, which website referred them, or which campaign they came from — and associate this information with their account. We use this data solely for product improvement, to understand which channels bring users who get the most value from Chef Chop.

Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication, session management, and attribution (preserving how you found Chef Chop across sign-in redirects). We use PostHog for privacy-friendly product analytics on all pages, including public pages, without requiring a consent gate. PostHog does not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site trackers.
