Privacy Policy
How Mise handles your data.
Placeholder. This page is a stand-in until our reviewed Privacy Policy is published. It exists so that links to it resolve; it is not yet a legal statement of how Mise collects, uses, or shares personal information.
What we collect. Account details you provide (such as your email), the recipes you pick or save, and the usual technical data needed to run the service.
How we use it. To operate Mise — delivering recipes you own, sending notifications you've opted into, and improving the product. We do not sell your personal data.
The Mise app
The phone app sends what you do in it to Mise, over HTTPS; only crash reports go elsewhere (below). It shows no ads, carries no tracking or analytics, and never asks for your location, contacts or payment details. Most of what it sends is what you'd expect: your pantry, cook log, notes, meal plan and shopping ticks, kept with your account like their web versions. A few things are particular to the app.
Notifications on your phone
When you allow notifications, the app registers your phone with Mise: an Expo push token and an identifier for this install of the app. We keep them with your account so meal-plan reminders and other notifications reach the right phone, and pass the token to Expo's push service to deliver them. They are removed when you sign out of the app, delete your account, or Expo tells us the token no longer works.
Telling the pantry by voice
Speech recognition happens on your phone when it can. Otherwise your phone's own speech service (Apple's or Google's) hears it, under that company's terms, not ours. Either way Mise receives only the words as text, never audio. We match them to ingredients and drop the text.
Photographing the pantry
A pantry photo is sent to Mise, which asks an AI model (Anthropic's Claude) which ingredients it shows. Mise does not store the photo: once the ingredients are read, it is dropped. Anthropic handles it as our service provider and does not train its models on it. Only the ingredients you then add to your pantry are saved.
Signed-in sessions
Every request carries your IP address and your browser's or app's user agent, as on any website. We store them with each signed-in session so your list of sessions can show where you're signed in, and you can spot one you don't recognise. We use them for security, not to work out where you are.
Crash reports
When the app or the website breaks, an error report goes to Honeybadger, our error-tracking service, so we can fix it. A report carries your account id and what went wrong. Passwords and sign-in tokens are stripped out before it is sent, and the app also strips your email, your pantry and what you searched for.
Who else sees it
The services above act for Mise, only to do the job named, and do not use your data for their own purposes:
- Expo, to deliver push notifications to your phone
- Honeybadger, to collect error reports
- Anthropic, to read a pantry photo
Deleting your account
You can delete your account at any time: on the web at https://miserecipes.club/account/delete (sign in first), or in the app's Account tab. Deleting erases the name, email and photo on your account, cancels any membership and signs you out everywhere. Purchase and ownership records are kept for tax and accounting, with nothing on them that names you. A chef's profile and published recipes stay up, so people who own those recipes keep them with their author's name.
Your choices. You can manage notification preferences from your studio settings or the app's Account tab, and get a copy of your data from your profile page or the app's Account tab.
