Privacy policy
Last updated: August 28, 2026
The short version
WhatsForDinner has no accounts and no cloud of ours. Your meal plan lives in a local database on your phone. If you share it with your household, it syncs through your own iCloud — never through a server of ours. We cannot read it, and neither can anyone else.
What stays on your device
Meal slots, dishes, ingredients and supplies, plan entries, pantry items, and preferences — all of it is stored in a local SQLite database on your device. There is no server of ours that holds a copy of your plan. You can export a copy yourself at any time — it goes wherever you send it, and never to us.
What leaves your device
Three things, and only three:
- Crash reports. If the native app crashes, a crash report is sent to Sentry so we can fix it. Reports are scrubbed of personal data before sending — we do not attach your name, your email, or the contents of your plan. Reports also include a coarse, city-level location that Sentry derives from your device’s IP address. Diagnostic logs carry a per-device identifier (a vendor ID, not an advertising ID) so related reports can be correlated; it identifies the installation, not you.
- Purchases. Subscriptions are processed by Apple. Our billing provider (RevenueCat) receives an anonymous app-generated ID — the same Support ID shown in Settings — never your email or identity.
- Household sync (optional). If you share your plan with your household, your household data — meal slots, dishes, ingredients and supplies, plan entries, pantry items — and the display name you choose are stored in your iCloud and synced to the other member’s device through Apple’s CloudKit. This happens between your devices and Apple; we run no sync server and cannot read your household data. Leaving a household keeps a local copy on your device.
What we do not collect
No analytics profiles. No advertising SDKs. No food-database queries — the app has no food database. Meal and shopping reminders are scheduled locally on your device and never touch a server.
This website
sowhatsfordinner.app runs the Google tag so we can tell which ads bring
people here. It sets a first-party cookie (_gcl_au) that records the ad
click, and reports page views and App Store clicks to Google Ads.
It also runs Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights, which count page views and measure how fast pages load and respond. Neither sets a cookie, and neither follows you to other sites — they report totals for the page, not a profile of you.
That is all the site measures — it has no account, no login, and nothing about you to attach a visit to. Blocking cookies or scripts for this site costs you nothing: every page works the same either way.
No other trackers, and no analytics profiles.
