Last updated: March 12, 2026

1. Information We Collect

When you use HowIEatHealthy, we collect:

  • Account information: Email address and name provided during signup (via email/password or Google OAuth through Supabase).
  • User content: Recipes you create or clip, meal plans, family member names, shopping lists, and product selections.
  • Subscription data: Billing information is processed and stored by Stripe. We store your Stripe customer ID and subscription status but never your credit card details.
  • Usage data: Basic analytics collected by Vercel (page views, performance metrics). We do not use third-party tracking scripts or advertising pixels.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and operate the Service (store recipes, calculate nutrition, generate shopping lists)
  • To process payments and manage your subscription via Stripe
  • To send transactional emails (account confirmation, password reset)
  • To send marketing emails if you opted in via our waitlist (managed by Beehiiv; you can unsubscribe anytime)
  • To improve the Service based on aggregate, anonymized usage patterns

3. Third-Party Services

We share data with the following services, only as needed to operate:

  • Supabase: Database hosting and authentication
  • Vercel: Web hosting and serverless functions
  • Stripe: Payment processing
  • Beehiiv: Email newsletter (waitlist subscribers only)
  • USDA FoodData Central: Nutrition data for ingredients
  • FatSecret & Open Food Facts: Branded product nutrition data
  • Kroger API: Grocery pricing data for cost estimates

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with advertisers or data brokers.

4. Data Storage & Security

  • All data is transmitted over HTTPS.
  • Your data is stored in a Supabase-hosted PostgreSQL database with row-level security (RLS) ensuring only you can access your own data.
  • Passwords are hashed by Supabase Auth; we never store plaintext passwords.
  • API keys and secrets are stored as environment variables, never in client-side code.

5. Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication (Supabase session tokens). We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. No third-party cookies are set by our website.

6. Your Rights

  • Access & export: You can view all your data within the app (recipes, meal plans, products).
  • Deletion: You can delete your account at any time, which permanently removes all your data from our systems.
  • Email opt-out: You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time via the link in any email.
  • Correction: You can update your account information at any time through your profile settings.

7. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

8. Browser Extension

The HIEH Recipe Clipper browser extension has its own dedicated privacy policy covering extension-specific data handling. See our Extension Privacy Policy.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a notice on the Service. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
