Privacy Policy for Craftify Recipe Manager

Last updated: 28 May 2025

Craftify Recipe Manager is developed by Dave Van Cauwenberghe, an individual developer. This Privacy Policy explains how Craftify Recipe Manager handles your data. We are committed to protecting your privacy.

1. Data We Collect

Craftify Recipe Manager collects minimal data to provide its features: 

  • User Credentials: Usernames and hashed passwords for authentication, stored in a CloudKit database managed by the developer. Usernames may include first names for authorized administrators. 
  • Local Recipe Cache: Recipes are cached on your device for offline access but contain no personal data.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use this data only to make Craftify Recipe Manager work: 

  • Authenticate users by verifying credentials stored in the CloudKit database. 
  • Cache recipes locally on your device to enable offline access to recipe data.

3. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely: 

  • User Credentials: Stored in a CloudKit database with hashed passwords using secure encryption, managed by the developer. This data is not linked to you or your device. 
  • Local Recipe Cache: Stored on your device with no personal information. 
  • CloudKit Database: The app fetches recipe and report data from a public iCloud database managed by the developer. This data is not linked to you or your device.

4. Data Sharing

Craftify Recipe Manager does not share your data with third parties. The app uses no third-party dependencies, and all data stays on your device (for local recipe cache) or is fetched from the public iCloud database (for recipes and reports).

5. Usage Data

Craftify Recipe Manager does not collect personalized usage data. We use Apple’s CloudKit to fetch recipes and reports from our iCloud database. The CloudKit Console provides only anonymized metadata, like device model (e.g., MacBook Pro) or macOS version, which is not linked to you or your Apple ID. This is used solely to monitor app performance and compatibility.

6. Your Control Over Your Data

User credentials are managed by the developer for authentication purposes and stored in the CloudKit database. The local recipe cache can be removed by uninstalling the app, which deletes all locally cached recipes. No other data management options are available within the app.

7. Children’s Privacy

Craftify Recipe Manager is intended for Craftify administrators and is not designed for general consumer use, including children. We do not collect personally identifiable information from children under 13, in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA, 16 CFR Part 312) in the U.S., the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, Regulation (EU) 2016/679) in the EU, and other applicable laws worldwide.

Under GDPR Article 8, processing personal data of children under 16 (or lower, depending on the EU country) requires parental consent if based on consent. Craftify Recipe Manager’s data processing is based on legitimate interests for app functionality, not consent, so parental consent is not required.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy if Craftify Recipe Manager changes. Check the “Last Updated” date for the latest version.
