PRIVACY

Privacy Policy

Effective July 8, 2026.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Shikomi ("we," "us") collects at getshikomi.com (the "Service"), why, and your choices. We aim to collect as little as possible and to be honest about what we do.

1. Information we collect

Account information: your email address, and, if you sign in with a third party such as Google, the basic profile information that provider shares (name, email, profile image). If you use email/password, we store a securely hashed password (we never see it in plain text).

Your Content: the recipes, versions, cook notes, photos, tags, and related data you create or import.

Usage and technical data: basic information needed to run and secure the Service, such as log and request data, and (if enabled) limited product-analytics about how features are used. We describe analytics choices in section 5.

Import data: when you import a recipe from a link or description, we send that input to our AI provider to structure it (see section 3).

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your recipes to advertise to you.

2. How we use your information

  • To provide, sync, and secure your account and Your Content across your devices;
  • To operate core features (capture, versioning, cook mode, import, backups);
  • To protect the Service against abuse and control costs (rate limiting, usage caps);
  • To communicate with you about your account, security, or (if you opt in) product updates;
  • To understand and improve how the Service is used.

3. Service providers we share data with

We rely on a small set of trusted providers to run the Service. They process data on our behalf, only as needed to provide their service:

  • Supabase: database, authentication, and storage of your account and content.
  • Vercel: application hosting, delivery, and security/firewall.
  • Anthropic (Claude): AI processing of recipe import input you submit. Import input is sent to structure your recipe; we do not send your whole library.
  • Email provider: to send transactional messages such as password resets and, if you opt in, product updates.
  • Product analytics (if enabled): to measure feature usage in aggregate; see section 5.

These providers may process data in the United States and, depending on the provider, elsewhere.

4. How long we keep data

We keep your account and content while your account is active. Recipe history is retained to power the core versioning feature and for recovery. When you delete your account, we remove your personal data from active systems; residual copies may remain in encrypted backups for a limited period before being overwritten.

5. Analytics and your choices

If we enable product analytics, we use it to understand feature usage in aggregate, not to track you across other websites. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before non-essential analytics run, and you will be able to opt out. Essential data needed to run and secure the Service is always processed.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under the California Consumer Privacy Act and, for EU/EEA users, the GDPR), you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these, contact us at privacy@getshikomi.com. You can also export your data yourself at any time using the in-app export feature. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

California residents: we do not sell or "share" (as defined by the CCPA) your personal information.

7. Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your data, including encrypted transport, row-level access controls, hashed passwords, and access restrictions. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect your information and to limit what we collect.

8. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy as the Service evolves or as our providers change. We will revise the effective date and, for material changes, aim to notify you. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Policy.
