Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Fridge Raid (“the app”) is a personal side project run by Ian Anderson in St. George, Utah. Contact: tekoxvi@gmail.com.

What we collect

• Account info — username, email, and password (stored hashed) when you register.
• Pantry & preferences — ingredients you save and optional diet/time/skill filters (Pro).
• Recipes — AI-generated recipes tied to your sessions; recipes you save to favorites.
• Usage logs — generation counts, cache hits, and approximate AI token/cost metrics to run the service safely.
• Referrals — if you use invite links, we store your referral code, who referred you (if any), and reward eligibility. Referral codes appear in share URLs you send; we do not expose referrers on public recipe pages.
• Billing — Stripe, Inc. processes payments. We do not store card numbers on our servers; we keep your Stripe customer ID and Pro subscription status.

How we use it

We use your data to authenticate you, remember your pantry, generate and cache recipes, enforce free-tier limits, process Pro subscriptions, and keep the app reliable. We do not sell your personal information.

AI processing

When you request new recipes (not cache hits), ingredient lists and filters are sent to xAI as a processor to generate JSON recipe content. Do not submit sensitive personal data in ingredient names. Recipe text is for inspiration only. Always check allergens, dietary needs, and food safety yourself — see the Terms.

Sharing

We share data only with service providers needed to run the app: hosting (DigitalOcean), payments (Stripe), and AI generation (xAI). Public recipe pages may be indexed if a recipe slug is shared; they do not expose your account.

Retention & deletion

Account and saved data remain until you delete your account or ask us to remove it. Contact us at the email above. Backups on the server may persist for a short window before rotation.

Your choices

You can use the app without an account with limited daily generations. Pro subscribers can cancel anytime from Account (Stripe customer portal); access continues through the end of the paid period.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13.

Changes

We may update this policy; the “Last updated” date will change when we do.
