1. Who We Are

PlateWeek (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the PlateWeek application and website (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use our Service. By using PlateWeek, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and profile picture through our authentication provider, Clerk. We do not store your password directly.

Meal Plan Data: We store the meal plans you create, including meal names, weekly grids, grocery lists, and preferences. This data is associated with your account to provide personalization.

Payment Information: Payment processing is handled entirely by Polar.sh. We do not store your credit card number, bank details, or other payment credentials. We receive only your subscription status and a customer identifier from Polar.

AI Prompts: When you use our AI meal planning feature, your text prompts are sent to OpenAI for processing. We do not permanently store the prompts you submit. OpenAI processes data in accordance with their own privacy policy.

Usage Data: We may collect basic analytics such as feature usage and error logs to improve the Service. We do not track you across other websites.

3. How We Use Your Information

Some data may be retained in backups for up to 90 days. We reserve the right to delete inactive accounts and associated data after 12 months of inactivity.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure authentication via Clerk, and access controls on our database. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
