Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Nom Nom is designed to help families and friends log what they cook, gather honest verdicts, and decide what to eat next. We believe your household dining records belong to you. Nom Nom does not sell your data, does not serve advertisements, and does not track your behavior across third-party apps or websites.

2. Information We Collect

When you use Nom Nom, we process the following categories of data:

• Email Address (Account Authentication): Used solely to generate and deliver single-use six-digit verification codes for sign-in, and to route invitations between dinner party members. We do not require or store passwords.
• User Content & Meal Photos: Photos you choose to take with your device camera or select from your photo library to document a meal, along with meal titles, preparation dates, and cooking notes. Photos are stored securely in private cloud storage buckets.
• Verdicts & Taste Ratings: The rating verdicts you submit for a meal (such as Loved, OK, or Not a fan). These verdicts help generate recommendation rankings for you and your shared parties.
• Party Memberships: Records of dinner parties you create or join, including member email associations.

3. How Information is Used and Shared

We use your information exclusively to provide the core functionality of Nom Nom:

• To authenticate your session and sync your meals across your devices.
• To calculate “What to eat” recommendation scores based on your household's historical preferences and recency.
• To share meal entries and verdicts among members of the specific Dinner Party to which a meal was served.

Sharing within Parties: A meal logged in your private context (“Just me”) is visible only to you. When you serve a meal to a Dinner Party, all active members of that party can view the meal's photo, notes, and member verdicts. Ratings carry no party tag independently; they count toward a party solely when the rater is an active member and the meal was served to that party.

We do not share, monetize, or disclose your personal data to advertisers, data brokers, or marketing partners.

4. Storage, Infrastructure, and Security

Nom Nom's backend services and databases are hosted on Supabase. Your data is stored in PostgreSQL databases protected by strict Row-Level Security (RLS) policies, and meal photos are hosted in private object storage buckets. All data transmitted between the Nom Nom iOS app and our servers is encrypted in transit using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS).

5. Account Deletion and Data Erasure

In accordance with App Store Review Guideline 5.1.1(v) and global privacy standards, you have the absolute right to delete your account and all associated data at any time directly from within the application:

1. Open the Nom Nom app on your iOS device.
2. Navigate to the Settings tab.
3. Select Delete Account and confirm the action.

If you no longer have access to your iOS device or require manual assistance with data erasure, you may submit a deletion request directly by emailing me@joelsanden.se.

6. Children's Privacy

Nom Nom is designed for general audiences and household meal planning. Every user account requires an email address. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13 without appropriate parental consent.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as features evolve. When changes occur, the updated policy will be published at this URL with a revised “Last updated” date.
