Privacy Policy

The short version

BLW Cookbook (“the app”) is made by Saharapp (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what information the app handles, why, and the choices you have.

• You don't need an account. We never ask for your name, email address or phone number.
• Your baby's profile, food log, reactions, saved recipes and shopping list are stored only on your phone. We have no server that receives them.
• The free version shows ads from Google AdMob, which collects device information such as the advertising ID. Premium removes ads.
• Purchases are made through Google Play, and RevenueCat helps us confirm them. We never see your payment details.
• We don't sell personal information.

Information that stays on your phone

While using the app you may enter your baby's name (optional) and date of birth, the foods your baby has tried, how they reacted (including possible allergic reactions), notes, saved recipes and a shopping list. This information is kept in the app's private storage on your device. It is not sent to us or to anyone else, and we cannot see it.

Your baby's age is used on the device only, to choose which food preparation guidance and recipes to show first.

Android backup: if backup is turned on in your device settings, Android may include the app's data in your Google Account backup so it can be restored on a new phone. Google handles that backup under your Google Account settings, and you can turn it off at any time in your device settings.

Advertising in the free version

The free version shows banner ads and, only when you tap to watch one, rewarded video ads. These are provided by Google AdMob (Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited). To show, limit and measure ads and to prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect your device's advertising ID, your IP address (which can be used to estimate your general location), device and operating system type, app version and how you interact with ads.

Ads in the app are restricted to content suitable for general audiences. We never pass your baby's profile, food log or anything else you type into the app to Google or to any advertiser.

Consent: in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and other places where the law requires it, the app shows Google's consent form before ads are personalised. Where this applies, you can change your choice at any time in the app under Profile → Privacy & ad choices. If you don't consent, Google may show non-personalised or limited ads.

You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of ads personalisation, in your Android settings (usually Settings → Privacy → Ads, or Settings → Google → Ads). Learn how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

Premium subscribers don't see ads.

Purchases (Premium)

Premium is a subscription sold through Google Play. Google processes your payment, and we never receive your card or bank details.

We use RevenueCat, Inc. to confirm purchases and restore them on your devices. RevenueCat receives an anonymous user ID that it generates, your purchase and subscription status and transaction details from Google Play, and basic technical information such as app version, operating system version, store country and IP address. It does not receive your name, your email address or anything you enter in the app. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.

You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Google Play subscriptions.

When you choose to share

If you tap Share on the feeding summary or the shopping list, the app passes that text to the app you pick, such as email or a messaging app. From then on, that app's own terms apply. Nothing is shared unless you choose to share it.

What we don't do

• We don't require an account or sign-in.
• We don't use analytics or crash-reporting services.
• We don't sell or rent personal information, or share it for any purpose other than those described here.
• We don't ask for access to your location, contacts, camera, microphone or photos.

Children

The app is made for parents and caregivers, not for children to use. Information about a baby is entered by an adult and stays on that adult's device. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will help.

Health information and medical disclaimer

Notes about reactions in the food log can be sensitive. That's why they never leave your device unless you share them yourself.

The app gives general feeding information and is not medical advice. Always follow your pediatrician's guidance.

Keeping and deleting your information

What you enter stays on your device until you delete it. You can remove all of it at any time by clearing the app's storage (Settings → Apps → BLW Cookbook → Storage → Clear storage) or by uninstalling the app. Because we don't keep a copy, we can't recover it for you.

Google Play and RevenueCat keep purchase records under their own policies and as the law requires, for example for tax and accounting.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, for example under the GDPR, the UK GDPR or US state privacy laws, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or move your personal information, to object to or restrict how it is used, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your data protection authority.

Where the GDPR applies, we rely on your consent for personalised advertising, on the need to perform our contract with you to provide Premium, and on our legitimate interest in funding a free app with non-personalised ads and in preventing fraud.

Because the information you enter stays on your device, you control it directly. For advertising data, use Privacy & ad choices in the app, your Android ad settings or Google's privacy tools. For anything else, email us at contact@crispapp.co.uk and we will reply within 30 days.

International transfers

Google and RevenueCat may process information in the United States and other countries. They protect these transfers with legally recognised safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

Security

Connections to advertising and purchase services are encrypted (HTTPS). Data on your device is protected by Android's app sandbox, so keep your phone secured with a screen lock.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update this page and the effective date at the top. Significant changes will be clearly highlighted here.
