How Pantri handles personal information

This notice explains, in plain terms, what Pantri processes to run recipe storage, trusted sharing, household planning, billing, notifications, and AI-powered features. It is a first operational notice and should still be finalised with named controller contact details before public launch.

What Pantri currently collects

Account details such as name, email address, sign-in provider, and profile photo

Recipe information you save, import, edit, share, comment on, rate, or plan

Household and Friends & Family membership details and related collaboration activity

Subscription and billing status linked to Stripe, including plan state and renewal timing

Technical security information needed to keep sessions, permissions, and account actions safe

AI feature requests and related recipe context when you intentionally use Pantri Assistant or AI import features

Why Pantri uses it

Pantri uses personal information so it can authenticate users, save and organise recipes, manage Friends & Family sharing, coordinate household planning, operate subscriptions, deliver notifications, and support AI features the user actively requests.

Lawful basis
Contract / service delivery

Most core product processing exists so Pantri can provide the account, recipe storage, sharing, planning, and subscription features you asked for.

Legitimate interests

Pantri also processes some information to keep the service secure, prevent abuse, investigate failures, improve reliability, and maintain a coherent product experience.

Consent

Consent is the basis for optional cookie categories and any future optional analytics or marketing technologies that are not strictly necessary.

Legal obligations

Some billing or compliance records may need to be retained where law or financial record-keeping rules require it.

Third-party services and transfers

Firebase for authentication, database, storage, and secure session support

Stripe for subscriptions, billing checkout, and customer billing management

Algolia for recipe-search experience

Gemini for AI-powered recipe and planning features that you intentionally trigger

Because these services may process data outside your home jurisdiction, Pantri should ensure appropriate contractual or regulatory safeguards are in place before full public launch.

AI features

When you use Pantri Assistant, ingredient photo analysis, or AI-powered recipe import, Pantri sends the minimum useful prompt and recipe context needed to generate the requested result. Pantri should not present AI output as guaranteed fact, and users remain in control over whether they save or act on AI-generated suggestions.

Retention and deletion
Account and recipe content

Kept while the account is active so the product can function, then removed through the account-deletion process unless a limited retention need applies.

Comments, ratings, notifications, and planner activity

Kept while the related account and shared spaces remain active, unless removed through account deletion or specific feature cleanup.

Billing records

Some subscription and payment records may be retained for longer where financial, tax, fraud-prevention, or audit obligations require it.

Security and troubleshooting data

Kept only for as long as reasonably needed to investigate incidents, defend claims, or maintain service integrity.

Your controls and rights

Ask for access to the personal data Pantri holds about you

Ask for inaccurate data to be corrected

Ask for data to be deleted where erasure rights apply

Object to or restrict some processing in the situations the law allows

Complain to the ICO or relevant supervisory authority if you think your data is being handled unlawfully

Pantri already includes account deletion, profile controls, billing management, notification settings, and cookie settings. Before launch, this notice should be updated with the named controller identity and a dedicated privacy contact route.

Pantri keeps privacy, trusted sharing, and household planning intentionally private by default.
