Privacy Policy

Overview

Lunchin ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our meal planning service.

By using Lunchin, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us to personalize your experience:

• Account information: Email address and optional display name
• Child profiles: Names, ages, food preferences, likes, dislikes, and allergens
• Meal feedback: Your ratings and notes on generated meal plans
• Kitchen preferences: Prep time, budget, and dietary constraints

This information is used solely to personalize meal suggestions for your family. In the future, we may use aggregated, anonymized data to share insights with the Lunchin community, such as popular lunch ideas among parents—but never in a way that identifies you or your family.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Generate personalized weekly lunch plans using AI
• Learn from your feedback to improve future suggestions
• Create consolidated grocery lists
• Send service-related emails (account verification, plan notifications)
• Improve our service based on usage patterns

Third-Party Services

To provide the best possible meal suggestions, we use leading AI technology providers to power our recommendation engine. This includes services from Google, xAI, Anthropic, and OpenAI. Your preference data is sent to these services in a secure, anonymized manner to generate personalized meal plans.

We also use:

• Secure cloud database providers to store your account and preference data
• Payment processors (when you subscribe) to handle billing securely
• Email service providers to send account-related communications

We never sell your personal information to third parties.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit and at rest, secure authentication, and regular security audits. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Update: Correct or update your information at any time through Settings
• Delete: Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Export: Request an export of your data in a portable format

To exercise these rights, please contact us at privacy@lunchin.app.

Children's Privacy

Lunchin is designed for parents to plan meals for their children. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. All child profile information is provided by the parent or guardian managing the account.

Account Sharing

We understand that both parents often share meal planning responsibilities. Lunchin accounts are designed to be shared between parents or guardians in the same household using a single login. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your shared account credentials.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
