Version 1.0 · Effective October 1, 2026 · Last updated October 1, 2026

Privacy Policy

Adaptable is a recipe and cook-mode app for iPhone and Android, with a website at adaptable.cooking. Adaptable is operated by Monsoro, LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company ("Monsoro," "we," "us"). This policy explains what we collect, why, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and the choices you have. Questions or requests: support@monsoro.co.

1. What we collect, and why

We collect only what we need to run Adaptable. This list matches the app and the App Store privacy answers described in our listing notes.

• Name. You choose a username. Sign in with Apple can send your name on the first sign-in, and Google Sign-In can send the name on your Google account. We store that as your username so recipes and comments can show who wrote them. You can edit it.
• Email address. Email sign-up stores the address you enter. Sign in with Apple may share a private-relay address. Google Sign-In shares the email on the Google account. We use it to create and recover your account. Passwords are handled by Supabase, and we never see them in plain text.
• User ID. We store a Supabase user id. For Sign in with Apple we also store an Apple user identifier and a token Apple gives us so we can revoke Apple sign-in when you delete your account.
• Device ID. If you allow notifications we store an Apple Push Notification service token (iPhone) or a Firebase Cloud Messaging token (Android). We also store a random install identifier for our own product events. Neither is an advertising identifier.
• Photos or videos. If you choose a photo of a cookbook page, a screenshot, a dish, or your fridge, we upload it. Photos sent to Gemini are processed by Google's generative AI on our servers so we can import a recipe, read the fridge, or illustrate a dish. You can skip photos entirely.
• Other user content. Prompts, recipes you generate, import, or remix, links or text you paste, comments, votes, saves, meal plans, grocery lists, and household membership. We use them to run the kitchen and, when you publish, to show community recipes.
• Health. Diets, allergies, dislikes, and optional nutrition goals. Allergies and diets can reveal health information. We use them only to shape recipes and filter ingredients. You can leave them blank.
• Coarse location. If you type a city ("where you cook"), we convert it to coordinates and store them with your profile so Discover can use the local temperature. We don't use GPS or your device's precise location.
• Purchase history. If you subscribe to Adaptable Plus, we receive purchase and subscription status from Apple or Google and from RevenueCat: the product, transaction or purchase-token identifiers, the period and expiry, and whether the purchase is sandbox or live. We never receive your card number or billing address. The price and any trial are shown by the store before you purchase. This policy does not set them.
• Product interaction. First-party product events we record ourselves, such as a paywall view, a plan selection, or a guest sign-up. Each event can include the event name, where in the app it happened, the plan, your platform, the install identifier, and your user ID if you're signed in. We use them to see which screens lead to sign-ups or subscriptions.
• Other diagnostic data. Basic server, error, and authentication logs needed to keep the service secure and running.
• Customer support. If you email us, we keep the message so we can reply.
• Audio is not kept. Cook Mode can use the microphone and speech recognition for optional voice commands. Audio is processed on the device to understand the command and is not stored as a recording.
• Not collected. We don't collect your phone number, physical street address, contacts, precise location, payment card, advertising identifier, browsing history, or crash reports from a crash-reporting SDK. We don't track you across other companies' apps or websites.

2. Device permissions

The app asks before using these, and you can turn each one off in your phone's settings.

• Camera — snap a cookbook page, your fridge, or a finished dish.
• Photos — pick an existing image.
• Microphone and speech recognition — optional Cook Mode voice commands. Audio isn't kept.
• Notifications — votes, comments, cooks, or cook timers.
• Reminders on iPhone — optional one-way export of a grocery list. We don't read your contacts or your other reminders.
• Location — we don't request it. Weather on Discover uses only the city you type.

3. How we use information

• To run Adaptable: create your account, generate, import, and adapt recipes, read fridge photos, build meal plans and grocery lists, sync across devices, and show community content you choose to publish.
• To provide and verify Adaptable Plus and restore purchases.
• To send notifications you've turned on.
• To understand and improve the app, using our own product events.
• To keep the service safe: preventing abuse, enforcing fair-use limits on AI features, recovering accounts, and following the law.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We don't use advertising SDKs.

4. AI processing

Adaptable uses Google Gemini (Google's generative AI) on our servers. When you generate, import, remix, or adapt a recipe, build a meal-prep bundle, or ask Adaptable to read a fridge photo, we send what's needed for that request: your prompt, relevant parts of your taste profile (including allergies and diets), the recipe text or link, and any photo you supplied. Photos sent to Gemini are processed by AI. We also use Gemini to create cover images from a recipe's title, description, and cuisine.

Cover images are created by Gemini on our servers. If that fails, the recipe shows the emoji placeholder and we do not send the recipe to another image service.

The Gemini API key lives on our servers, never in the app. AI output can be wrong. See the Terms of Use.

5. Who we share information with

We share information only with service providers who process it for us, and only as needed to run Adaptable.

Public content. Recipes, comments, and votes you publish can be seen by anyone with the link or the app. Cook photos are visible only to you.

Legal and safety. We may disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our users, Monsoro, or others.

Business transfers. If Monsoro is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may transfer as part of that deal, and this policy will continue to apply.

6. How long we keep information

• Account, profile, and content you create: while your account is open.
• After you delete your account: we delete the items in the next section from our live systems. A recipe someone else has already remixed may remain as their content.
• Purchase and subscription records, including records RevenueCat holds to verify Plus: for 7 years after the subscription ends, so we can provide Plus, handle disputes, and meet tax and accounting duties. Apple and Google keep their own billing records under their policies. Deleting your Adaptable account does not cancel a store subscription.
• Product events: 13 months from the event, then deleted. They are not removed at the moment you delete your account.
• Server, error, and authentication logs: 30 days.
• Backups roll off on our providers' schedules. A deleted account can remain in a backup until that copy expires.
• Support emails: for as long as we need to resolve the request, and then in line with the log period above.

7. Account and data deletion

Deletion is permanent. It removes your profile, recipes, votes, saves, comments, grocery list, meal plans, uploaded photos, notification tokens, and household membership, and it revokes Sign in with Apple. It does not cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription. Cancel that in the store's subscription settings.

On iPhone

2. Tap Delete account.
3. Read what will be deleted and confirm Delete forever.

On Android

If you can't open the app, email support@monsoro.co from the address on the account and ask us to delete it. We'll aim to finish email requests within 7 days. You can also open this section directly at https://adaptable.cooking/privacy#account-deletion.

8. Your choices and privacy rights

• Edit your taste profile and username in the app.
• Delete your account using the steps above.
• Turn off notifications, camera, microphone, photos, or Reminders in your phone's settings.
• Cancel a subscription in your Apple ID or Google Play subscription settings. Deleting your account doesn't cancel a store subscription.
• Ask us to access, correct, or delete information, or to ask about this policy, by emailing support@monsoro.co.

US state laws. Depending on where you live, including California (the CCPA, as amended by the CPRA) and other US state privacy laws, you may have rights to know, access, correct, and delete personal information, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We will not discriminate against you for using these rights. You may use an authorized agent where your state allows it. If we deny a request, you can appeal by replying to that email. We may need to verify your identity before we act.

GDPR and UK GDPR. If those laws apply, you can ask to access, correct, or erase your information, restrict or object to certain processing, and receive a portable copy. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it. You can also complain to your local supervisory authority. Email support@monsoro.co to use these rights. We aim to respond within 30 days.

9. Children's privacy

Adaptable is a general-audience app and not a social app. It is not directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If a parent or guardian believes their child has given us information, they can email support@monsoro.co and we'll delete it.

10. Security

We use encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls, and row-level security on our database. No method is completely secure, so use a strong password and keep your device locked.

11. Where we process data

Monsoro is based in the United States, and our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Where the law requires it, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

12. Changes

If we make a material change, we will update the version and the dates at the top of this policy and, where the law requires it, notify you in the app or by email before the change takes effect. The date at the top is the date this version became effective.
