Welcome to PR Recipe Hub ("we," "our," or "us"). We provide a comprehensive culinary recipe discovery, meal planning, pantry ingredient management, and smart cooking timer application for Android and iOS devices.
Privacy-First Principle: PR Recipe Hub is architected with a strict privacy-first foundation . Your personal recipes, saved favorites, grocery shopping lists, weekly meal calendars, custom tags, and pantry stock are saved exclusively on your local device. We do not maintain user accounts, require logins, or store your private culinary data on remote cloud databases.
By installing, accessing, or using the PR Recipe Hub mobile application (the "Application"), you acknowledge and agree to the data collection and usage practices described in this Privacy Policy.
All user-generated activities and customizations remain 100% on your device, including:
The Application fetches public culinary recipes, category catalogs, and ingredient imagery from
TheMealDB API (https://www.themealdb.com) via secure HTTPS requests. No personal
identification data (PII) is transmitted in these requests.
To ensure high application reliability, non-identifying technical crash reports and system metrics (such as operating system version, device model, and fatal error stack traces) may be processed transiently. These logs contain no personal user data.
PR Recipe Hub supports 19 languages (English, Hindi, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Turkish, Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada). Recipe translation and dictionary lookups operate using locally bundled language dictionaries and client-side translation caching without profiling your identity.
The algorithmic matching engine that identifies recipes you can cook based on your available pantry items executes entirely on your device's local CPU. No pantry ingredient inventories are uploaded to cloud servers.
All reminders (meal prep alarms, breakfast/lunch/dinner scheduling, and cooking timer chimes) are scheduled strictly through local device notification queues. We do not operate remote push servers or track notification engagement for advertising profiling.
During active step-by-step cooking, the app may request temporary screen-wake locks to keep your recipe visible while your hands are busy. No ambient audio or visual recordings are captured during cooking sessions.
To support ongoing development and keep PR Recipe Hub free for users worldwide, the Application displays advertisements through Google AdMob and authorized partner networks.
Safety Context Protection: PR Recipe Hub enforces strict safety rules that block interstitial ads during active Cooking Mode, active countdown timers, and kitchen safety sessions to prevent distraction during hot meal preparation.
Users who prefer an ad-free experience can upgrade to Premium status in the app settings, which completely suppresses all Google AdMob ad requests and SDK initialization.
