Policy

1) What Swavinara Does

Swavinara is your go-to platform for exploring and sharing authentic recipes with your friends and family. Discover tried-and-true dishes from people you trust, follow your friends’ culinary journeys, and save recipes to recreate later. With step-by-step instructions, ingredient lists, and a vibrant community of like-minded food enthusiasts, Swavinara makes cooking at home easier and more enjoyable. Share your successes, inspire others with your cooking, and build a collection of reliable home-style meals to suit any occasion.

2) Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

  • Information you provide: name, username, email, customer support content, and content you submit such as recipes, ingredient lists, steps, notes, and photos.
  • Information collected automatically: device information, usage analytics, crash logs and diagnostics, and location (approximate or precise) when you allow it.
  • Cookies & similar technologies: used for login, session maintenance, and preferences (may include web beacons).

Location data is collected only when you grant permission in your device settings and use a feature that needs it.

3) Photos, Face Data, and Biometric Information

  • No face recognition/biometrics: we do not perform facial recognition or create biometric identifiers/templates.
  • One-time processing: if a feature requires processing a photo for a one-time result, it is used only to generate that result and then deleted promptly after completion.
  • Local by default: photos and drafts can remain on your device by default until you choose to upload or post them.
  • No training/marketing: we do not use your photos or text for training advertising profiles, marketing, or selling personal information.

4) How We Use Information

  • Provide and maintain the Service, including authentication and community features.
  • Personalize your experience, such as remembering preferences and showing relevant content.
  • Improve the Service via analytics, debugging, and performance optimization.
  • Security: fraud prevention, abuse detection, and security monitoring.
  • Customer support and communications.
  • Legal compliance and enforcement of our rights and policies.

We do not sell personal information.

6) How We Share Information

We share information only when necessary and consistent with this policy:

  • With your consent or at your direction (for example, when you choose to post content or share it with others).
  • With service providers/processors who process data on our instructions to help us operate the Service.
  • For legal reasons to comply with law and lawful requests.
  • To protect rights and safety of Swavinara, users, or others.

We aim to share the minimum necessary information for the applicable purpose.

Public and social sharing: if you post content to a public area or share it with others, that content may be visible to those people and may be further shared by them.

7) International Transfers

Your information may be transferred to, stored, or processed in countries other than where you live. Where required, we use safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and other lawful mechanisms.

8) Data Security

  • Encryption in transit and, where applicable, encryption at rest.
  • Access controls and least-privilege practices.
  • Regular audits and monitoring.
  • Backups and recovery practices.

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we use reasonable safeguards.

9) Data Retention

  • Account data: for as long as your account is active.
  • After account deletion: delete or anonymize within 30 days, unless needed for legal/security reasons.
  • Usage data: up to 12 months, then deleted or aggregated/anonymized.
  • Customer support content: up to 6 months after resolution, unless needed longer for ongoing issues or legal requirements.

10) Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict/object, and withdraw consent.
