Pantrybot Privacy Policy

Pantrybot collects information you provide directly, including account details such as name, email address, user ID, login method, household memberships, inventory entries, shopping lists, meal-planning inputs, recipe requests, chat messages, support requests, and notification preferences.

Pantrybot also stores dietary restrictions, allergen-related preferences, excluded ingredients, and similar household food-profile details when you choose to provide them. Pantrybot treats those details as sensitive household context and uses them to personalize planning and food-management features.

Pantrybot collects product-interaction and entitlement data needed to run the service, such as plan state, usage limits, billing status, notification channel state, and recent activity tied to your household account.

Pantrybot collects information when you create an account, sign in, join a household, add or edit pantry and shopping data, configure notifications, request recipes or meal plans, use AI-assisted features, or contact support.

If you choose Google Sign-In or Sign in with Apple, Pantrybot receives identity data from that provider to authenticate your account. If you link Telegram notifications, Pantrybot stores the Telegram link state needed to deliver messages. If you use web billing, Pantrybot receives subscription and customer state from Stripe. If you buy a supported subscription on iPhone, Pantrybot receives App Store subscription state and transaction identifiers needed to reflect that entitlement on your Pantrybot account.

Pantrybot uses account and household data to provide the core service, including authentication, inventory tracking, shopping lists, household collaboration, recipe and meal-planning features, notification delivery, entitlement enforcement, support, and fraud or abuse prevention.

Pantrybot may use product-interaction data and account usage data to understand feature usage, improve reliability, investigate problems, and maintain service quality. Pantrybot does not describe the current app as using third-party ad tracking, and the current iPhone privacy manifest marks tracking as disabled.

Pantrybot shares data with service providers only as needed to operate the service. That includes Stripe for web subscription checkout and subscription management, Apple for iPhone subscription purchase and restore, SendGrid for email delivery, Telegram when you link a Telegram account, Open Food Facts for barcode lookups, and Spoonacular when Pantrybot is configured to fetch recipe data from that service.

Pantrybot also supports AI-assisted features. Depending on deployment configuration, Pantrybot may send prompts and relevant pantry, shopping, recipe, meal-planning, or dietary context to an AI provider such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or an Ollama-compatible model host. If third-party hosted AI is enabled for a deployment, that provider receives the content needed to answer the request.

Pantrybot is a household organization tool, not a medical service. Dietary restrictions, allergen-related preferences, pantry contents, and meal-planning inputs can still be sensitive in context, especially for households managing allergies or medically important food rules.

Pantrybot uses that information to tailor household food-management features, but Pantrybot does not guarantee that recipe suggestions, meal plans, or AI-generated outputs are safe for allergies, intolerances, or medical conditions.

Pantrybot keeps account and household data while your account is active and for as long as needed to operate the service, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, and satisfy legal, security, accounting, or tax obligations.

You can initiate account deletion inside Pantrybot at Settings > Profile > Delete Account. Pantrybot treats that action as a permanent deletion action, not temporary deactivation. If you own a household with other members, Pantrybot requires you to transfer that household to another current member before your account can be deleted. If you are the only member, deleting your account also deletes that household and its inventory, shopping, meal-planning, and collaboration history. Limited records may remain where retention is required for compliance, fraud prevention, billing, security, or dispute handling.

You can update your profile information, household data, dietary settings, and notification preferences inside the app. You can unlink Telegram from notification settings and delete your account from profile settings.

If the current deployment uses a third-party hosted AI provider, you can also turn hosted AI sharing on or off from profile settings before using AI-assisted chat, product-photo recognition, LLM-backed recipe generation, or meal auto-planning. If you keep hosted AI sharing off, Pantrybot leaves those hosted AI features disabled for your account until you enable them again. Receipt OCR may still fall back to non-AI parsing when available.
