Privacy Policy

Effective date: (to be set at launch)

This Privacy Policy explains what information Salt & Temper collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Service you agree to this Policy.

1. Information we collect

  • Recipe text you submit. The ingredient and instruction text you paste into the demo, so we can parse it and estimate macros.
  • Usage analytics. Anonymous, cookieless analytics about how the demo is used, including page views, the recipes you analyze or re-engineer (the ingredient text and the resulting macros), and the macro targets you set. We use this to understand demand and improve the accuracy of the engine. It is not linked to your identity.
  • Waitlist email. If you join the waitlist, the email address you provide, so we can contact you about availability.
  • Technical data. Limited request metadata such as IP address and timestamps, used for security, abuse prevention, and rate limiting.

2. How we use information

We use your information to operate and improve the Service, estimate recipe macros, prevent abuse and enforce rate limits, and — if you joined the waitlist — to tell you when the product is available. We do not sell your personal information.

3. Third-party processing

  • AI text processing. Recipe text you submit is sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) to normalize and parse the ingredients. Do not submit sensitive personal information in recipe text.
  • Nutrition data. Macro lookups use USDA FoodData Central data, which we host ourselves; your recipe text is not sent to the USDA.
  • Analytics. We use PostHog and Vercel Web Analytics to measure traffic and product usage. They run in a cookieless, privacy-preserving mode and do not build advertising profiles.
  • Hosting & infrastructure. Our hosting and email providers process data on our behalf to deliver the Service.

4. Data retention

We retain waitlist emails until you ask us to remove them or the waitlist is retired. We keep operational logs only as long as needed for security and abuse prevention. We do not require an account to use the demo.

5. Cookies

The landing page and demo do not require advertising or tracking cookies, and our analytics run in a cookieless mode. Any storage we use is limited to what is necessary to operate the Service.

6. Your choices

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you (such as your waitlist email) by contacting us at the address below. We will respond consistent with applicable law.

7. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

8. Changes

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above.
