Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
Namų Receptai (“the app”, “we”, “us”) is a home-recipe app operated by MB „Tik inovacijos“, trading as TIKi (“the company”). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal data when you use the app. For any privacy question, contact us at info@tiki.lt.
MB „Tik inovacijos“ is the data controller for the personal data described in this policy.
2. Scope of this policy
This policy applies to the Namų Receptai mobile app and this website. It does not cover third-party services you may reach through links, or the separate privacy practices of Apple, Google or other providers when you use their own products.
3. Data we collect
We collect only what the app needs to work:
Account data
- Email address — to create and secure your account.
- Display name — optional, shown in the app and to people you share a recipe book with.
- Sign-in identifiers — if you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive the identifier/email those services provide to create your account.
Content you create
- Recipes and recipe books — titles, ingredients, steps, notes, categories, favourites and any other content you add.
- Shopping lists — items, quantities and their checked status.
- Photos — recipe photos you upload (stored privately), and any dish images you choose to generate.
- Voice recordings — audio you record to dictate a recipe, which is transcribed to text.
- Imported/scanned recipes — a recipe photo you scan, or a webpage link you import, which we process into a structured recipe.
- Feedback reports — if you report a bug, the description, category and any screenshot you attach.
Access to your camera and microphone is used only for the features above (scanning and photographing recipes; dictating them) and only when you use them.
Technical & diagnostic data
- Basic device and app information (device/OS type, app version, language).
- Crash and error diagnostics, so we can find and fix problems. These are stripped of personal information and tied only to an anonymous account ID.
We do not collect precise location, contacts, advertising identifiers, or run third-party analytics/ad tracking.
4. How we use your data
- To provide the core app — storing, syncing and displaying your recipes.
- To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
- To power optional features you invoke: voice-to-text transcription and dish-image generation.
- To let you share recipe books with people you invite.
- To diagnose crashes and improve reliability.
- To respond to your support requests.
We do not use your recipes or content for advertising, and we do not sell your data.
5. Legal bases (GDPR)
Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation applies, we rely on:
- Performance of a contract — to provide the app you signed up for.
- Consent — for optional features you actively trigger (e.g. generating an image or recording your voice). You can choose not to use them.
- Legitimate interests — to keep the app secure and reliable (e.g. crash diagnostics), balanced against your rights.
- Legal obligation — where we must retain or disclose data to comply with the law.
6. Third-party services
We rely on a small number of trusted providers (“sub-processors”) to run the app. They process data only on our instructions and for the purposes below:
| Service | Purpose | Data involved | Region |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Cloud database, authentication and file storage — the backend that stores your account and recipes. | Account details, recipes and recipe content, photos you upload, usage metadata. | EU |
| Apple (Sign in with Apple) | Optional sign-in method. | A private-relay email or Apple identifier, and your name on first sign-in. | EU / US |
| Google (Sign in with Google) | Optional sign-in method. | The name and email address associated with your Google account. | EU / US |
| OpenAI | Turning your input into a recipe (parsing dictated, scanned or imported recipes) and generating an illustrative dish photo when you ask for one. | Voice transcript text, a scanned recipe photo, imported webpage content, or recipe text — used to produce structured recipe data or an image. No account identifiers. | US |
| ElevenLabs | Transcribing a recipe you dictate by voice into text (primary provider for Lithuanian). | The audio recording you make. The original audio is not stored by us after transcription. | US |
| Sentry | Diagnosing crashes and technical errors so we can fix them. | Diagnostic data only: device/OS type, app version, error traces, and an anonymous account ID. No email, name, IP address or recipe content. | EU / US |
| GitHub | Handling the bug/feedback reports you choose to send from inside the app. | Only what you submit: your description, category, app version, device/OS model and an optional screenshot. | US |
Optional AI features are only invoked when you ask for them. If you never record a voice note or generate a dish image, no data is sent to those providers.
7. When we share data
We share personal data only in these limited cases:
- With the sub-processors above, to run the app’s features.
- With people you invite to a shared recipe book — they can see the recipes in that book.
- When legally required, to comply with a valid legal request.
- In a business transfer, if the app is ever acquired, subject to this policy.
We never sell your personal data or share it for third-party advertising.
8. How long we keep data
We keep your account and content for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, we delete your personal data and content from our systems, and request deletion from sub-processors, except where we must retain limited records to comply with the law. Backups are cycled out on a rolling basis.
9. Your rights
Under the GDPR and similar laws you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate data (much of which you can edit directly in the app).
- Delete your data (“right to be forgotten”).
- Export/port your data.
- Object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent at any time.
- Lodge a complaint with your data protection authority — in Lithuania, the State Data Protection Inspectorate (vdai.lrv.lt).
To exercise any of these, email info@tiki.lt.
10. Deleting your account & data
You can delete your account directly in the app (Settings → account), which removes your recipes, images and account details. You can also request deletion by emailing info@tiki.lt. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.
11. Children
Namų Receptai is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
12. International transfers
Some sub-processors process data outside the EEA (for example in the United States). Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses to protect your data.
13. Security
We protect your data with encryption in transit, access controls and row-level security so that you can only access your own recipes and the recipe books shared with you. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to keep your data safe.
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app evolves. We’ll revise the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, provide a more prominent notice in the app.
