Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Pantorio ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use our Android mobile application ("DishApp") and our companion website ("DishWeb", minthee.com).

We do not require you to create an account with us to use Pantorio. There is no central user profiling server collecting your personal identifiers, dietary choices, or shopping patterns.

2. Information Handled by the Mobile App

The mobile app stores your recipe and kitchen data locally in an SQLite database on your device:

• Dishes and Recipes: Names, ingredients, categories, step-by-step instructions, preparation notes, tags, cooldown timers, calorie estimates, and ratings.
• Cooking History & Badges: Timestamps of cooked meals, frequency counts, and cooking milestones.
• Meal Plans & Events: Scheduled meals, dining-out days, and calendar notes.
• Grocery Lists & Stores: Checklists of ingredients, quantities, checked states, aisle groupings, and store assignments. When using guided online supermarket shopping, store search URLs are built locally on your phone without sending your grocery items to Pantorio servers.
• Pantry & Stock Inventory: On-hand staples, low-stock thresholds, expiration dates, aisle organization, and restock links.
• Dish Photos: Selected via the native Android Photo Picker and saved to internal app storage (filesDir/images/) without scanning your photo library or requesting broad storage permissions.
• Barcode Scanner: Packaging barcodes are scanned on-device using your camera. Product lookups query Open Food Facts over HTTPS without sending advertising IDs or user identifiers.

3. Optional Cloud Backup

Pantorio provides optional backup features if you choose to use them:

• Cloud Snapshot Backups: If you sign in with Google or with an email and password, you can back up up to 5 rolling snapshots of your database and dish photos over HTTPS (TLS 1.3). Restoring from the cloud uses safe merge or replace options and creates a local safety backup first.
• Local ZIP Archive Export: You can export and import complete .zip backup archives (including all recipes and photos) directly to your phone's storage or any file provider without signing in.

4. Information Collected by This Website

On our companion website (minthee.com):

• We do not set third-party tracking cookies, analytics pixels, or marketing scripts.
• Standard HTTP server access logs (IP address, user agent, requested URL) are processed strictly for security, rate limiting, and uptime diagnostic purposes.
• We count page views ourselves, without cookies: the page, the site you came from (for example google.com) and your screen size. Visitors are counted with a code that changes every day, so no one can be followed across days, and nothing is kept for more than 400 days. Browsers set to Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control are not counted.

5. Temporary Live Sharing Links

We do not sell, rent, monetize, or disclose your personal information or recipes to third parties.

When you share a recipe or live grocery list via web link:

• 12-Hour Expiration: All live recipe and grocery links expire after at most 12 hours. A countdown timer on the web page shows the remaining time. Once expired, the shared data is automatically deleted from our servers.
• Stop Sharing Anytime: You can stop any active share link at any time from the app, which immediately closes web access and removes the shared copy from the server.
• Optional Photo Inclusion: You choose whether or not to include dish photos when sharing a recipe link.
• Offline QR Sharing: Recipes and grocery lists shared via QR code are transferred directly from screen to camera without using the internet.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

Because all primary data is stored locally on your device:

• You can delete individual recipes, images, pantry items, or entire databases directly from the app at any time.
• Uninstalling Pantorio completely deletes all app-private data from your device.
• If you created live share links, you can revoke them immediately in Settings or wait for automatic 12-hour purge. If you configured cloud backup, you can delete all remote data directly in the app or see our Account & Data Deletion page.

7. Children's Privacy

Pantorio does not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from children under the age of 13.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
