Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
Short answer: Your recipe data stays in your browser. We collect minimal anonymized traffic analytics.
freerecipescaler.com is built to be a simple, privacy-respecting utility. Any recipe content or ingredients you paste into the tool are processed 100% locally on your device and are never sent to or stored on our servers.
1. Information We Collect
Recipe Data: We collect zero recipe data. The calculator operates entirely within your web browser.
Analytics: We use Google Analytics (gtag.js) to measure aggregate, anonymized traffic data (such as page views and browser types) so we can optimize performance and improve the tool. We do not sell or share personal identifiers.
2. How We Use Information
Anonymized analytics data is used exclusively to understand site traffic trends and performance. Your recipe inputs remain entirely on your device.
3. Cookies & Local Storage
We use standard local storage to save your preference for Dark Mode or Light Mode on your device. Google Analytics may set standard analytics cookies to measure site traffic.
4. Third-Party Services
We utilize Google Analytics for site performance metrics. We do not sell, rent, or monetize your personal information to external marketers.
5. Data Retention
Because we do not collect personal data, there is no data retention policy necessary. If you choose to contact us via our contact form or email, any correspondence (such as your name and email address) will only be used to reply to your inquiry and will be deleted thereafter.
6. Children's Privacy
freerecipescaler.com is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.
7. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we do hold from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
