Privacy Policy for Meal Builder
Last updated: September 23, 2026
The short version: Meal Builder keeps everything on your own phone. There is no account, no server, and no way for us or anyone else to see, collect, or store your data. Nothing is tracked.
Who this policy covers
This policy applies to the Meal Builder mobile app (package name com.robbinwolfs.mealbuilder), available on Google Play. It explains what happens to your information when you use the app.
Your data stays on your device
Meal Builder does not have a server, a database, or any backend of its own. Everything you enter or generate in the app, including:
- Saved recipes and your ratings of them
- Your weekly meal plan and cooking history
- Your fridge or pantry contents
- Dietary restrictions and allergy rules you set
- Custom ingredients you add and any ingredient renaming you set up
- App preferences such as language, theme, and notification settings
- Your subscription status
is stored only in local storage on your own device. We never receive it, never see it, and have no way to access, recover, or restore it. If you uninstall the app or clear its data in Android's app settings, this information is gone, because it only ever existed on your phone.
Camera and photos
Meal Builder can use your camera or photo library for one optional feature: scanning a photo of a recipe to fill in a new recipe automatically. This scanning happens entirely on your device, using Google's on-device ML Kit text recognition. Photos you use for this feature are processed on your device only. They are never uploaded, transmitted, or sent to us or to any third party.
Notifications
Meal Builder can send you a small number of optional local reminders (a weekly plan reminder, a shopping list reminder, and a low-fridge nudge). These are scheduled directly on your device by the app itself. They are not push notifications from a server, and no notification service or token is used to send them.
Subscriptions and payments
Meal Builder offers an optional paid subscription (Meal Builder Pro), handled entirely through Google Play's own billing system. We never see, collect, or store your payment details, card numbers, or billing address. Google Play processes the transaction and tells the app only whether your subscription is active, which is used to unlock Pro features on your device.
No tracking, no analytics, no advertising
Meal Builder does not use analytics services, advertising networks, crash reporting services, or any other third party tool that collects data about you or your device. There are no cookies, no device identifiers sent anywhere, and no behavioral tracking of any kind, because there is nothing in the app that could send that data anywhere.
Data sharing
We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose your data to any third party, for the simple reason that we never receive any of it in the first place. There is nothing to share.
Children's privacy
Meal Builder is not directed at children and is not knowingly used to collect information from children. Since the app collects no data of any kind on any user, this applies equally to users of any age.
Changes to this policy
If this policy ever changes, for example if a future version of the app adds a feature that works differently, we will update this page and change the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
