Privacy Policy

Gurt AI ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

• Account information: name, email address, username, and profile photo.
• User content: recipes, photos, comments, and other content you submit.
• Usage data: interactions with the app, cooking streaks, feature usage, device model, and OS version.
• Technical data: IP address, crash logs, and diagnostic information.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
• Personalize AI recommendations to your taste and preferences.
• Communicate with you about updates, features, or support.
• Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud or abuse.
• Comply with legal obligations.

3. AI Processing

When you use AI features (e.g., photo-to-recipe), your input is sent to trusted third-party AI providers for processing. We do not use your content to train third-party foundation models unless you explicitly opt in.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only:

• With service providers who help us operate the Service (e.g., hosting, analytics, AI processing) under strict data protection agreements.
• With other users, for content you choose to make public (e.g., shared recipes).
• When required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of Gurt AI or others.
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality protections.

5. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by emailing hello@gurtai.app.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal information.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Port your data to another service.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise these rights, contact hello@gurtai.app.

7. Security

We use industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your information. No system is 100% secure — we encourage you to use a strong password and to notify us immediately of suspected unauthorized access.

8. Children's Privacy

Gurt AI is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have, please contact us and we will delete it.

9. International Users

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We take appropriate safeguards to protect your data in accordance with applicable laws.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with an updated "Last updated" date, and where required, notified to you directly.
