1. Information We Collect

RecipeFixe is built and maintained by HeyGull, LLC ("HeyGull", "we", "us", or "our"). We collect only the minimum necessary information required to operate RecipeFixe:

• Account Information: When you register an account, we collect your name, email address, and a securely salted password hash.
• Saved Recipe Data: When you choose to save a recipe, we store the recipe title, ingredient list, instruction steps, serving count, source URL, and thumbnail image URL in your personal Recipe Box.
• Meal Planning Schedules: If you use our weekly meal planner, we store the recipe assignments and dates you schedule.
• Authentication & Session Tokens: We issue encrypted session tokens stored in secure browser cookies or browser extension storage to keep you signed in.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

To ensure complete clarity and transparency:

• We do not track, monitor, or record your web browsing history or background internet activity.
• We do not log keystrokes, mouse positions, scroll depth, or screen recordings.
• We do not collect health metrics, medical information, or biometrics.
• We do not collect or store credit card or payment account numbers through the extension.

3. How We Use Your Information

Any information collected is used exclusively for the core functions of RecipeFixe:

• Displaying clean, ad-free versions of recipe articles you choose to view.
• Dynamically scaling recipe ingredient quantities and culinary fractions according to your chosen serving size.
• Syncing your personal Recipe Box between your browser extension and web application.
• Organizing your weekly meal plans and generating your calendar feed if you activate it.
• Authenticating your account and protecting against unauthorized access.

4. Browser Extension Disclosures & Permissions

The RecipeFixe browser extension adheres strictly to Google Chrome Web Store Single Purpose and Minimal Permissions policies:

• `activeTab`: Used exclusively when you click the extension icon or right-click to view a clean recipe, enabling the extension to render the in-page reader overlay and parse the recipe content on that specific page.
• `storage`: Used to remember your local preferences and authentication session token in your browser so you do not need to sign in repeatedly.
• `contextMenus`: Adds a handy right-click menu item ("View Clean Recipe") for one-click access on recipe pages.
• Host Permissions: Because cooking recipes are published across thousands of independent blogs and domains, host permissions allow you to clip recipes on whichever cooking site you visit, and connect to our secure backend API (https://recipefixe.com).
• No Remote Code: The extension package contains all necessary code locally. It does not execute dynamic remote scripts, eval statements, or third-party tracking scripts.

5. Data Security & Storage

All data transmissions between your browser, the extension, and our servers are encrypted in transit using industry-standard TLS/HTTPS protocols. User databases feature strict tenant-level isolation ensuring your saved recipes and meal plans are accessible only to your authenticated account.

You may delete individual recipes, clear meal plans, or request full account termination at any time directly from the application or by contacting our team.

6. External Websites & Links

When you save a recipe, RecipeFixe retains the original source URL for attribution and author credit. Clicking external links takes you to third-party websites governed by their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review their policies when visiting them directly.
