I read some good reviews of this app and downloaded it. When I got to the section about the privacy policy, I clicked on it and saw the longest privacy policy I’ve ever seen: just under 30,000 words. That’s about 60 single spaced pages of text. Fortunately, ChatGPT was easily able to read through it and highlight a few red flags. You may find this completely acceptable, but as someone who is concerned with privacy I do not, so I will be deleting the app and canceling my subscription immediately.From ChatGPT: 1. Meta Integration Is ExtensiveThis is not just “we have a Facebook page.”They explicitly use:Meta PixelFacebook Conversions APIAdvanced MatchingCustom AudiencesInstagram AdsAudience NetworkThat combination enables:cross-site tracking,attribution,ad retargeting,profile enrichment,lookalike audience generation.The most important language is this:“Contact Information ... names, email addresses and telephone numbers ... transmitted to Meta”and:“behavioral and interest data ... for targeted advertising and audience building”That means:if you use the app/site,and especially if you create an account with a normal email address,Meta can potentially correlate:recipe interests,cooking behavior,subscription status,site interactions,conversion events,with your broader Meta advertising identity.Even hashed identifiers are still very effective for matching.2. The Tracking Is Broader Than Strictly NecessaryThis is not a minimalist:“we only use analytics to improve the app”policy.They are doing:retargeting,conversion tracking,remarketing,audience segmentation,click tracking,personalized ads,Meta custom audiences,Google Ads remarketing.That’s a full commercial marketing stack.For a recipe app, one could reasonably argue this is more aggressive than necessary.
