Privacy Policy

Mealody ("we", "our", or "us") is operated by Matt Collis, a sole trader registered in Australia (ABN 50 865 504 657). This privacy policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

By using Mealody you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

1. Age Requirement

Mealody is intended for users aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, contact us at hello@mealody.org and we will delete it.

2. What Data We Collect

Music selections: The genre and artists you pick in the app are used to generate your mood profile and recipe. We may retain aggregated, de-identified artist and genre data to improve recommendations and manage cached content. This information is not linked to any music streaming service or external account, and we do not store these selections in a way that identifies you personally.

Data you provide in the app: Protein preferences (optional, subscribers only) and dishes you choose to exclude (optional), both used only to personalise your recipe.

Saved recipes (subscribers only): Recipes you choose to save are stored against your account.

Account data (all signed-in users): Using Mealody requires signing in with Apple. Our authentication provider, Supabase, processes the account identifier and any email or private-relay address Apple provides at sign-in, and issues a unique user ID. We use only that user ID in our own database to associate your data with your account — we do not store your name or email address in our database.

Subscription data: Subscription and purchase metadata required to manage your subscription (such as subscription status and an app-assigned user ID), managed by RevenueCat. We do not store payment card details — all payment processing is handled by Apple or Google.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your data only to operate the app: your music selections (genre and artists) are used to generate a mood profile and suggest a recipe; preferences are used to personalise your recipe; your user ID is used to associate saved recipes with your account; subscription status is used to determine which features you can access.

To generate your mood profile and recipe, your selected genres, artists, and recipe preferences are transmitted to Anthropic's AI services for processing.

We process your data because it is necessary to provide the service you request.

We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for advertising.
