This Privacy Policy explains how Levain Bread Baking handles information when you use the application. We are committed to respecting user privacy and providing a clear and transparent experience.

Information We Collect

Levain Bread Baking does not require users to create an account, register, sign in, or provide personal information such as a name, email address, phone number, or physical address.

The app may store information created during normal use, including:

• Saved or favorite recipes
• Unit, temperature, and other app preferences

This information is used only to provide the application's functionality.

Local Data Storage

Recipes, baking records, notes, settings, and other application information may be stored locally on your device.

Local storage allows Levain Bread Baking to preserve your baking information and preferences between sessions. Removing the application or clearing its data may permanently remove locally stored information.

How Information Is Used

Information generated while using the app may be used to:

• Save recipes and ingredient information

The information is not used to create advertising profiles.

Photos and Device Permissions

If Levain Bread Baking includes features that allow users to add photos or use other device functionality, the relevant permission may be requested only when the user chooses to use that feature.

Permissions can be reviewed or changed through the device settings. The application does not intentionally access unrelated device information without a functional reason.

Advertising and Tracking

Levain Bread Baking does not use information generated in the app for cross-app or cross-website tracking.

We do not sell user information to advertisers or data brokers and do not use baking records, recipes, or preferences for targeted advertising.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade users' personal information.

Information may only be processed when technically necessary to provide application functionality, maintain security, comply with applicable legal requirements, or protect the rights and safety of users and the application.

Data Retention and Deletion

Locally stored information may remain on your device while the application is installed. Depending on your operating system and available app functionality, you may remove individual records or delete application data by clearing stored data or uninstalling the app.

Data Security

We use reasonable measures designed to protect information processed by Levain Bread Baking. However, no electronic storage or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children's Privacy

Levain Bread Baking is not designed to intentionally collect personal information from children. The app does not require personal contact information to access its primary functionality.

If we become aware that personal information from a child has been collected contrary to applicable requirements, appropriate steps will be taken to address the situation.

Third-Party Services

If third-party technical services are introduced or changed in future versions of the application, this Privacy Policy may be updated to describe the relevant information processing and its purpose.

Your Choices

You can manage available application settings and device permissions through the app or your device settings. Where supported, you can also delete saved recipes, baking records, notes, and other locally stored information.

We may update this Privacy Policy when application functionality, technical requirements, or applicable regulations change. Any revised version will include an updated effective date.
