Google (Authentication)

Used for Google Sign-In. We receive your name, email, and profile photo. Governed by Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com.

Apple (Authentication)

Used for Sign in with Apple. We receive your name (only on first sign-in, and only if you choose to share it) and an email address. If you select Apple's "Hide My Email" option, the email we receive is an Apple-generated private relay address that forwards messages to your real email; we never see your real Apple ID email. Governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.

Stripe (Payments — Web / PWA)

Used to process subscription payments for web and PWA users. Stripe collects and stores your payment information in accordance with their Privacy Policy and PCI DSS standards. vyuhworks does not store payment card details. Stripe's Privacy Policy is available at stripe.com/privacy.

USDA FoodData Central

We use publicly available USDA nutrition data to provide nutritional estimates. No personal data is sent to the USDA.

Apple App Store (iOS)

When you download and use Provyuh through the Apple App Store, Apple may collect device identifiers and usage data in accordance with Apple's Privacy Policy. Provyuh uses Apple's in-app purchase system for iOS subscriptions. Apple processes all payment transactions — vyuhworks receives only a confirmation of purchase and does not receive your Apple ID or payment details.

Google Play Store (Android)

When you download and use Provyuh through the Google Play Store, Google may collect device identifiers and usage data in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. Provyuh uses Google Play Billing for Android subscriptions. Google processes all payment transactions — vyuhworks receives only a confirmation of purchase and does not receive your Google account payment details.

4. Recipe Import & External Content

When you use the recipe import feature to bring in content from websites, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, or other platforms:

We fetch publicly accessible content from the URL you provide in order to extract recipe data.
The imported recipe data is stored in your personal account within Provyuh.
Imported recipes are intended for your personal, private use only.
We do not share your imported recipes with other users or third parties.
Your import activity is not shared with source platforms.
We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or availability of content imported from third-party sources.

5. Meal Plan Sharing (Future Feature)

Provyuh may introduce the ability to share meal plans with other Provyuh users in the future. When this feature is available, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide clear notice within the App about how shared data is handled. Sharing will be opt-in and under your control.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service.

You may delete your account at any time directly within the App. If you are on an active paid subscription at the time of deletion, you will be given the choice to:

Delete immediately — your account and all associated data (recipes, meal plans, health preferences, and personal information) will be permanently deleted within 24 hours. No data is retained beyond what is required by law.
Delete at the end of the billing period — your account remains active until your current billing cycle ends, at which point your data will be permanently deleted.

If your Premium subscription is billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, we are required by those stores to ask you to cancel the subscription yourself (we cannot cancel store-billed subscriptions on your behalf). After you cancel in the store, you can return to the app and complete account deletion. Stripe-billed subscriptions are canceled automatically as part of deletion.

You may also request account deletion by contacting us at support@provyuh.com. Upon deletion, your data will be removed within 30 days except where retention is required by law.

Anonymized deletion record. After we remove your personal data, we retain a pseudonymized deletion audit record for up to seven (7) years for tax, accounting, chargeback-defense, and aggregate product-analytics purposes. This record contains no personally identifying information — your original user ID is stored as a one-way HMAC hash that cannot be reversed back to you. It records only that a deletion occurred, the date, whether the account was ever on a paid subscription and via which store, and the lifetime Stripe revenue (if any). The pseudonymous Stripe customer identifier is retained so we can resolve refund and chargeback disputes with Stripe without retaining your PII. This retention is permitted under GDPR Art. 17(3)(b) and (e).

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including:

Encrypted data transmission via HTTPS/TLS.
Secure authentication via Google OAuth and Sign in with Apple.
Row-level security policies ensuring users can only access their own data.
Regular security reviews of our infrastructure.

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
