Privacy Policy
K-Food Atlas ("the app") is a Korean recipe app. This policy explains what the app collects, why, and how you can have it deleted.
What we collect
If you sign in
Signing in is optional. If you sign in with Google or Kakao, we receive and store on our server:
- A provider account identifier (a number that identifies you at Google or Kakao)
- Your email address, display name, and profile image, as provided by that service
- The date the account was created
We never receive or store your password.
Your progress
Whether or not you sign in, the app stores on your device — and, if you are signed in, on our server so it survives a device change:
- Recipes you saved and recipes you marked as cooked
- Level, experience points, badges, and challenge progress
- Your recommendation preferences (categories, tags, difficulty, time, servings)
- Your chosen language
Advertising
The app shows ads through Google AdMob, which may collect your device's advertising identifier and related information. See Google's policy. Removing ads through the optional one-time purchase stops ad requests.
Purchases
Purchases are processed by Google Play. We never see your card or payment details. Google tells the app whether a purchase exists; that record belongs to your Google account, not to us.
Videos
Some recipes embed YouTube. Playing a video is subject to Google's privacy policy.
What we do not collect
- Location
- Contacts, photos, files, or microphone
- Health data
- Payment information
Who else is involved
| Google (AdMob, Sign-In, Play Billing) | Ads, optional sign-in, purchases |
|---|---|
| Kakao | Optional sign-in |
| Cloudflare | Hosting of our server and this site (servers may be worldwide) |
| YouTube | Embedded recipe videos |
We do not sell your data and we do not share it with anyone beyond what is listed above.
How long we keep it
Account and progress data is kept until you delete your account. When you delete it, the account row and everything linked to it are removed from our database. Server request logs, which do not identify you personally, are kept for up to 30 days.
Deleting your account
In the app: Settings → Delete account. You can also request deletion without installing the app — see Delete account.
Children
The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Your rights
You can ask what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Write to support@kfoodatlas.com. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to complain to a data protection authority.
Changes
If this policy changes we will update the date at the top of this page.
