ChefBoard Privacy Policy
This policy describes how the ChefBoard Android app (“the app”), published by TellStocks, handles information. The app helps you build a visual ingredient board and generate recipe ideas with AI.
Summary
- On your device: ingredients, board layout, filters, and preferences stay on your phone unless you clear app data.
- Sent to our server: when you request recipes, the app sends your selected ingredients and filter choices to
https://api.tellstocks.com. - AI processing: our server forwards that request to OpenRouter to generate recipes. We do not put API keys in the app.
Information stored on your device
ChefBoard keeps your cooking workspace locally, including:
- Ingredients you add to your board and pantry
- Recipe filters (for example cuisine, dietary preferences, and time limits)
- Display preferences such as theme
This data is stored in the app’s local storage on your device. We do not operate a user account or cloud sync for your ingredient board in the current version of the app.
Information sent when you generate recipes
When you tap to generate recipes, the app sends an HTTPS request to our API at api.tellstocks.com. The request may include:
- Names or labels of ingredients on your board and in your pantry
- Your selected recipe filters and output language
- Technical data needed to process the request (for example request size limits enforced by the server)
The app does not send passwords, payment details, or OpenRouter API keys. API keys exist only on the server.
How our server and OpenRouter use data
Our server validates your request, may reuse an in-memory cache for identical requests during active processing, and sends the ingredient and filter content needed for recipe generation to OpenRouter, a third-party AI API provider. OpenRouter processes the request according to its own privacy policy.
We do not sell your personal information. We use the API to provide recipe generation for the app you requested.
What we do not collect in the app
- No in-app account sign-in in the current release
- No deliberate collection of precise location from the app for recipe generation
- No advertising identifiers managed by this privacy policy
Children
ChefBoard is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information through the app, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
Security
Recipe requests use HTTPS between the app and api.tellstocks.com.
Keep your device software up to date and avoid sharing your phone with untrusted parties.
Your choices
- Remove ingredients or clear app data in Android settings to delete local board data.
- Stop using recipe generation if you do not want ingredient selections sent to our API.
Changes to this policy
We may update this page from time to time. The effective date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated policy.
