Privacy Policy

We collect information you provide directly to us when you create an account, save recipes, upload photos, record voice notes, or contact support. This may include:

• Account information (name, email, password)
• Recipe content (ingredients, steps, notes, photos)
• Voice recordings and transcripts captured while cooking
• Usage data (how you interact with Pierre, device and browser info, IP address)

Technical information such as your device type, browser, IP address, and crash logs, which we use to keep Pierre stable and secure.

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve Pierre
• Process and store your recipes, photos, and notes
• Send you account-related communications
• Understand how Pierre is used so we can make it better
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abuse

Pierre uses third-party artificial intelligence providers to transcribe voice recordings, structure recipes, and generate suggestions. When you use these features, the relevant content (e.g., your voice recording or recipe text) is sent to these providers for processing.

These providers process your data on our behalf under their own privacy and data-handling commitments. We do not use your personal recipe content to train public AI models.

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in these limited cases:

• Service providers who help us operate Pierre (hosting, database, AI processing, analytics, email)
• Legal requirements, when we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law
• Business transfers, in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
• With your consent, for example when you choose to share a recipe via a public link

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide Pierre to you. You can delete your account at any time, and we will delete your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal, accounting, or security reasons.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate information
• Delete your information ("right to be forgotten")
• Export your data in a portable format
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how Pierre is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may limit your ability to use certain features. We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate usage patterns (e.g., which features are used most). We do not use advertising trackers or sell data to third parties.

Pierre is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Pierre is operated from the United States. If you access Pierre from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a country with different data protection laws. We take appropriate safeguards to ensure your information remains protected.

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit, secure authentication, and access controls. No system is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the app. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent version.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your information, contact us at [email protected].
