We built PlateRotate to be useful, not to harvest your data. This policy explains exactly what we collect, what we don't, and why. No legalese — just plain English.
What We Collect
We collect the minimum possible to run the service:
- Meal text — when you convert a meal, the text you enter is sent to the Claude Haiku API (operated by Anthropic) to generate your conversion. We do not store this text on our servers after it is processed.
- Email address (optional) — if you enter your email on the download page, the iOS waitlist, or the in-app "notify me" prompt for upcoming Pro features, we record it for that purpose only. We do not add you to marketing lists without your explicit consent.
- Payment information — if you subscribe to Basic, your payment is handled entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play, whichever store you downloaded the app from. We never see or store your card number, billing address, or any other payment details.
What We Don't Collect
- No account is required to use PlateRotate.
- No tracking pixels or behavioral analytics.
- No device identifiers or advertising IDs.
- No location data.
- No browsing history or cross-site tracking.
Your meal history, favorites, and settings are stored locally on your device using SQLite. They never leave your phone.
Third-Party Services
PlateRotate uses three external services to function:
- Anthropic (Claude Haiku API) — processes your meal text to generate diet conversions. Requests are routed through our own server (hosted on Railway) before reaching Anthropic; we do not log or store request content. Anthropic's data handling is governed by Anthropic's Privacy Policy.
- Apple App Store / Google Play — processes subscription payments for the Basic plan through each platform's native purchase system. We never see your payment details; Apple's and Google's data handling is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy and Google's Privacy Policy.
- Netlify — hosts this website. Standard web server logs (IP address, request time) may be recorded by Netlify per their policies.
- Mailchimp — if you opt in to an email signup (download page, waitlist, or in-app feature notifications), your email address is stored with Mailchimp solely to send you that notification. Mailchimp's data handling is governed by Mailchimp's Privacy Policy.
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other behavioral tracking tools.
Your Data
On your device: Your conversion history, saved favorites, diet selection, and allergen settings are stored locally on your phone. This data is never uploaded to our servers. Uninstalling the app removes it.
Email addresses: If you provide an email for the download or iOS waitlist, it is used only for that purpose. We do not sell, rent, or share email addresses with third parties for marketing.
Subscriptions: If you subscribe, Apple or Google (whichever store you downloaded from) stores your billing information securely. We store only your subscription tier (free or basic) on your device so the app knows which features to unlock.
No data is sold. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to any third party for any purpose.
