Privacy Policy

Effective March 17, 2026

We collect only what's needed to make Whisq work. We don't sell your data. We don't show you ads. Your recipes are yours.

What We Collect

When you create an account, we store your email address or Apple ID identifier for authentication purposes. As you use the app, your extracted recipes, reviews, ratings, cooking photos, and cookbook rankings are saved to our database so they're available across sessions and devices.

When you submit a URL, we temporarily process it to extract recipe content — fetching public transcripts, analyzing video, and using AI to structure the recipe into ingredients, steps, and timing.


Analytics & Crash Reporting

We use a self-hosted analytics system to understand how the app is used — things like which features are popular and where people get stuck. We use Sentry for crash reporting so we can fix bugs quickly. No advertising networks or ad-tracking services are used, ever.


Third-Party Services

Whisq relies on a small number of trusted services to function:

SupabaseHosts our database and handles authentication
Anthropic (Claude)AI-powered recipe extraction and structuring
Google (Gemini)Video understanding and recipe translation
OpenAI (Whisper)Audio transcription for videos without captions
SentryCrash reports and error diagnostics

How We Use Your Data

Your data is used exclusively to provide the Whisq cooking experience — extracting recipes, saving your cookbook, powering suggestions, and improving the app. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.


Data Storage & Security

All data is encrypted in transit via HTTPS. Our database is hosted on Supabase with row-level security policies, meaning each user can only access their own data. We follow industry-standard practices to keep your information safe.


Your Rights

You can delete individual recipes at any time. You can also delete your entire account and all associated data from the Settings screen in the app — this action is immediate and irreversible.

For any additional data requests, including access or export, contact us at hello@whisq.app.


Children's Privacy

Whisq is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.


Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make meaningful changes, we'll notify you through the app. Continued use of Whisq after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
