Privacy statement
Privacy
Recipe Book is an app for you and your household. This is how it handles your data.
Version 5 · Nov 11, 2026
Everything on your phone
Your recipes, photos, reviews and settings are stored only on this phone. There is no account, no server run by the maker, and no analytics or tracking.
Household
Sharing with your household goes directly between paired phones on the same Wi-Fi network, encrypted. Nothing is stored in the cloud. Your Gemini API key can be shared this way too, with phones in your household that have no key of their own; you can turn that off in Settings.
Google Gemini
Only when you import, translate or have an illustration drawn does the app send the recipe text, the link or your photos to Google Gemini, using your own API key. Google's terms and privacy policy apply to that.
With a free key, Google may use what you send to improve its products, and Google staff may read it. So don't include personal information.
Opening links
When you import a recipe from a link, the app fetches that page from the website itself, just like your browser does.
Backups
A backup is a file you keep and share yourself. The app doesn't send it anywhere.
Purchase
If you unlock Recipe Book full, the payment goes through Google Play, under Google’s terms and privacy policy. The app only learns that you bought it, and tells the phones in your household.
Other people's recipes
A recipe remains the property of its original author or rights holder. The app keeps the source link and is meant for personal use and use within your household, not for publishing recipes or making money from them.
Maker
Recipe Book is made by Ice-Crystals. Questions, feedback or something to report? Email info@ice-crystals.nl.
If you send feedback or a report, it goes as a normal email from your own email app to Ice-Crystals. Your email address and what you write are only used to reply to you and to improve the app.
