1. Information We Collect

Account information: If you choose to sign in, we collect only your email address (via manual entry or Google Sign-In). We do not collect or store passwords. This information, along with any meal plans you save, is stored locally in your browser's storage (localStorage) and is not transmitted to or stored on our servers.

Automatically collected information: Like most websites, we and our third-party partners (including Google) may automatically collect certain information via cookies and similar technologies, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and time spent on the Site.

2. Cookies & Advertising

We use cookies to operate and improve the Site. We also work with Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also generally opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or Switzerland, we rely on your consent (collected via our cookie banner) before serving personalized advertising cookies, in accordance with Google's EU User Consent Policy.
