Privacy

Updated November 8, 2026

What we collect

• Your account: your email address, and a name if you add one. There are no passwords.
• Your box: the recipes you save or type, their photos, your notes and categories, who you share categories with, and when you imported each recipe.
• Links you clip: the address of each recipe page. We keep a copy of what we read from a page, so the next person who clips it doesn’t make us read it again.
• People you invite or send to: the email address you enter, used only to send that one email.
• Requests from site owners: the site and contact email given on our form for recipe sites.

How it’s used

We use this to run your recipe box, sign you in, send the emails you ask for, and keep the service from being misused. Your recipes are private: only you, and people on a category you share, can see them. A recipe you share by link can be seen by anyone with that link, and search engines are told not to index it. We don’t sell personal information. Some US state laws treat Google’s personalized ads as “sharing” personal information, and you can opt out with the Do Not Sell or Share link at the bottom of public pages.

Who handles it

• Hostinger hosts our server, database and backups.
• Resend delivers our emails.
• Google Fonts supplies the site’s fonts, so your browser asks Google for them.
• Google Analytics counts visits to our public pages: the home page, this policy, the terms and the page for recipe sites. It receives the page address without any query string, your browser and device type, and an approximate location from your IP address. It never runs on recipe, box, shared, cook-mode, sign-in or account pages, so it doesn’t see your recipes, email or links.
• Google AdSense may show one ad on those same public pages. Google and its partners use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can turn off personalized ads in Google’s ad settings or at aboutads.info, and read how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Ads never appear on recipes, in cook mode, or anywhere in your box.

When you clip a link, our server fetches that page and its photo from the recipe site. The site sees a request from ClipaRecipe, not from you. When you use the Clip to ClipaRecipe button in your browser instead, it sends us only the recipe details from the page you’re reading (the recipe data the page publishes for search engines, its address, title, site name and share image), never the rest of the page. We fetch the photo from the site, and don’t keep that copy for anyone else. Our server logs record the type of page, time and status of each request. They don’t record IP addresses or the private parts of links.

Cookies

We set two cookies of our own: one keeps you signed in for up to 30 days, and one remembers recipes clipped on this device before you sign in, for up to 24 hours. On public pages, Google Analytics sets cookies (named _ga) that tell repeat visits apart, and Google’s ad cookies may be used to show and measure ads. These can last up to 2 years. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, Google asks for your consent first, and without it these cookies stay off.

How long we keep it

• Your recipes stay until you delete them or your account.
• Recipes clipped without an account are deleted after 24 hours unless you sign in.
• Sign-in links expire after 30 minutes, invites after 14 days, and import counts after 2 days.
• Our copies of recipe pages are deleted within 90 days, and photos nobody’s recipe uses are deleted within a day.
• Deleted information can stay in our nightly backups for up to 14 days.

Your choices

On your account page you can download every recipe as a file, sign out everywhere, and delete your account and everything in it at once. Recipes you added to someone else’s shared category stay on that category, because they are part of that list.

Children

ClipaRecipe isn’t meant for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information.
