We wrote this policy to help you understand what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have.

We collect information in a few different ways:

When you sign up for or use our products, you voluntarily give us certain information. This can include your name, profile photos, recipes, comments, likes, the email address or phone number you used to sign up, and any other information you provide us. If you’re using

2. We also get technical information when you use our products
These days, whenever you use a website, mobile application, or other internet service, there’s certain information that almost always gets created and recorded automatically. The same is true when you use our products. Here are some of the types of information we collect:
- Log data. When you use OrganizEat, our servers automatically record information (“log data”), including information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website or your mobile app sends when you’re using it. This log data may include your Internet Protocol address, the address of the web pages you visited, browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, how you used OrganizEat, and cookie data.
- Cookie data. Depending on how you’re accessing our products, we may use “cookies” (small text files sent by your computer each time you visit our website, unique to your OrganizEat account or your browser) or similar technologies to record log data. When we use cookies, we may use “session” cookies (that last until you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (that last until you or your browser delete them). For example, we may use cookies to store your language preferences or other OrganizEat settings so you don‘t have to set them up every time you visit OrganizEat. Some of the cookies we use are associated with your OrganizEat account (including personal information about you, such as the email address you gave us), and other cookies are not.
- Device information. In addition to log data, we may also collect information about the device you’re using OrganizEat on, including what type of device it is, what operating system you’re using, device settings, unique device identifiers, and crash data. Whether we collect some or all of this information often depends on what type of device you’re using and its settings. For example, different types of information are available depending on whether you’re using a Mac or a PC, or an iPhone or an Android phone. To learn more about what information your device makes available to us, please also check the policies of your device manufacturer or software provider.

- Some websites or apps may use in the future OrganizEat future features like a “Save” button. If so, we may collect log information (described above) from those
- Online advertisers typically share information with the websites or apps where they run ads to measure and/or improve those ads. We also receive this information, which may include information like whether clicks on ads led to purchases or a list of criteria to use in targeting ads.
How do we use the information we collect?
We use the information we collect to provide our products to you and make them better, develop new products, and protect OrganizEat and our users. For example, we may log how often people use two different versions of a product, which can help us understand which version is better.
We also may use the information we collect to offer you customized content, including:
- Suggesting recipes or boards you might like. For example, if you’ve indicated that you’re interested in cooking Cakes or visited recipe websites that have OrganizEat features, we may suggest food-related recipes, websited, or blogs that we think you might like.
- Showing you ads you might be interested in. For example, if you saved a slow cooker recipe on OrganizEat, we may show you ads for other cooking products.
- Send you updates (such as when certain activity, happens on OrganizEat), newsletters, marketing materials and other information that may be of interest to you. For example, depending on your email notification settings, we may send you weekly updates that include recipes you may like. You can decide to stop getting these updates by unsubscribing from this service.
- Help your friends and contacts find you on OrganizEat. For example, in the future if you sign up using a Facebook account, we may help your Facebook friends find your account on OrganizEat when they first sign up for OrganizEat. Or, we may allow people to search for your account on OrganizEat using your email address.
