This Privacy Policy describes how the Satyam's Kitchen mobile application ("the App") handles your information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

1. Who We Are

The Satyam's Kitchen App is operated by Satyam's Kitchen (satyamskitchen.com). If you have any questions about this policy, you may contact us via the contact page on our website.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information Stored Locally on Your Device

The App stores the following data exclusively on your device using local storage. This data is never transmitted to our servers or any third party:

Data Purpose
Saved / favourite recipes Allows you to bookmark recipes for quick access
Shopping list items Stores ingredients you have added from recipes
Meal planner entries Stores your weekly meal plan
Recipe ratings and notes Stores your personal ratings and cooking notes
Notification preferences Stores your push notification opt-in settings
App theme preference Stores your chosen light, dark, or system theme

You may clear this data at any time by uninstalling the App or using the clear options within each feature.

2.2 Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, store, or transmit:

  • Your name, email address, or any personal identifiers
  • Your location or device location data
  • Your device's contact list, camera roll, or microphone input
  • Any analytics, crash reports, or usage telemetry
  • Any advertising identifiers (IDFA, GAID)

The App does not require you to create an account.

3. Third-Party Services

3.1 YouTube Data API

The App uses the YouTube Data API v3 (provided by Google LLC) to display cooking videos from the Satyam's Kitchen YouTube channel. When you browse or search videos within the App, your search query is sent to the YouTube API. This is subject to Google's Privacy Policy and YouTube's Terms of Service.

3.2 Satyamskitchen.com Website Content

Recipe and blog content is fetched from the public WordPress REST API at satyamskitchen.com. No personal information is sent in these requests beyond a standard User-Agent header identifying the App.

3.3 No Advertising Networks

The App does not contain any advertising SDKs, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics libraries.

4. Push Notifications

If you opt in to push notifications, the App may send you:

  • A daily recipe inspiration notification
  • Alerts when new recipes or videos are published on the channel

Notifications are delivered using the device's native notification system (Apple Push Notification Service on iOS, Firebase Cloud Messaging on Android). You may disable notifications at any time in the App's notification settings or in your device's system settings.

5. Children's Privacy

The App is rated suitable for all ages and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.

6. Data Security

Because all user-generated data (favourites, shopping lists, meal plans) is stored locally on your device, it is protected by your device's own security mechanisms (screen lock, device encryption). We do not transmit this data and therefore cannot be responsible for its security once it leaves your device (for example, if you back it up to a cloud service independently).

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
