ForkCast Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 28, 2026.

1. Information We Collect ForkCast collects the following information when you use the app: email address (for account creation), food diary entries and nutrition logs, recipes you save or generate, meal plans, app usage data, and photos you choose to scan (for Smart Scan, Cook From What I Have, Dough Studio, and recipe import — these are sent to Anthropic for analysis and not stored beyond processing).

2. How We Use Your Information We use your information to provide and improve the ForkCast app, sync your data across devices via Apple CloudKit, and authenticate your account via Firebase.

3. Data Storage Your data is stored securely using Google Firebase and Apple CloudKit. Food diary entries, recipes, and meal plans are stored on your device and are optionally synced via CloudKit if you enable ForkCast Pro.

4. Third-Party Services ForkCast uses the following third-party services: Google Firebase (authentication and data storage), Apple CloudKit (data sync), Anthropic (powers AI features including recipe generation, ingredient substitutions, Smart Scan, Cook From What I Have, Dough Studio photo analysis, and GLP-1 coaching), and EDAMAM Nutrition API (ingredient nutrition lookups, no personal data sent). These services have their own privacy policies.

5. Data Sharing We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

6. Data Deletion You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from Settings → Delete Account within the app.
