Privacy Policy
Last updated: 21 July 2026. My Royal Chef AI is built to be useful, not to harvest data. This page explains exactly what we store and why — in plain language.
Data we store
What we collect.
Account information
If you create an account, we store your username, email address, and a secure hash of your password (never the password itself). If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email from Google to create or match your account.
Chat & saved recipes
The recipe engine runs locally in your browser or on your device. If you are logged in, your conversations and saved recipes are stored on our server so they sync across your devices. Guest chats never leave your browser.
Messages you send us
If you use the contact form or sign up for the cookbook, we store the name, email, and message you provided so we can respond.
Security logs
We keep minimal technical records (login attempts, rate-limit counters) purely to protect accounts from abuse. These are not used for marketing or profiling.
Our promises
What we never do.
No ads, no trackers
We do not run advertising, analytics beacons, or third-party tracking scripts. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with anyone.
Only two cookies
A session cookie keeps you logged in, and a security token protects forms against forgery. Both are strictly necessary — there are no marketing cookies to opt out of.
Android app
How the app handles data.
On-device first
The Android app runs its recipe search and cooking tools entirely on your device. It contacts myroyalchef.com only to sign you in and to download the latest recipe data. Google sign-in on Android uses Google's native, system-level account picker — the app never sees your Google password. Your session is stored securely on the device and can be removed at any time by logging out or clearing the app's data.
Your control
Access & deletion.
Your data, your call
You can request a copy of your data or ask us to delete your account and everything attached to it at any time. We honor deletion requests promptly.
