Privacy Policy

Overview

RecipeScale ("we", "our", "the site") is a free online recipe tool available at recipescale.fun. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.

Data We Collect

We do not collect personal data. Specifically:

• All recipe scaling, unit conversion, and ingredient parsing happens entirely in your browser.
• We do not require accounts, logins, or registration.
• We do not store your recipes on our servers.
• We do not use tracking cookies for analytics.

Local Storage

We use your browser's localStorage to remember your preferences (dark mode, language selection) and to cache previously scraped recipes to reduce bandwidth. This data never leaves your browser and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

Recipe URL Scraping

When you use the "Only The Recipe" feature to extract ingredients from a URL, the request is processed through our server to bypass cross-origin restrictions. We do not log or store the URLs you submit or the recipe data returned.

Third-Party Services

Google AdSense: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings.

TheMealDB API: The recipe search feature queries TheMealDB, a free public API. No personal data is sent — only search terms (ingredient names).

Children's Privacy

Our site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
