PantryPlanner ("the app") is a pantry management and recipe generation app. This policy explains what data is collected and how it is used.

Data We Collect

Data stored only on your device

Pantry items, product information, and inventory quantities
Saved recipes and cooking history
Storage location preferences
App settings and AI provider preferences

Data you provide to third-party AI services

Text prompts describing your pantry contents
Images of receipts or grocery orders (for photo import only)

PantryPlanner does not receive, store, or have access to this data. It goes directly from your device to the AI provider. Each provider's own privacy policy governs that data. Your API key is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to PantryPlanner servers.
