Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how the Food Cost Calculator Android application ("the App") handles information. The App is built for chefs and restaurant managers to calculate recipe costs, and it is designed around a simple principle: your recipes, ingredient prices, and business data stay on your device.
1. Who we are
The App is published by d13k Dominik Wojtasik, registered at ul. Kąpielowa 13d, 65-383 Zielona Góra, Poland, Tax ID (NIP): 9291692325. You can contact us at support@foodcostcalc.app for any question about this policy or your data.
2. Data that stays on your device
The App does not require account creation or sign-in. All ingredient records, recipes, prices, and settings you enter are stored locally on your device using an on-device database. We do not operate a server that receives, stores, or has access to this data, and we cannot see your recipes or prices.
If you have Android's own device backup enabled, this data may be included in your personal Google Account backup. That backup is created, stored, and controlled by Google as part of the Android operating system, not by us — see Google's Privacy Policy for how Android backups are handled.
3. Advertising
The free version of the App shows banner advertisements served through Google AdMob. Ads are requested in non-personalized mode: the App does not access your device's advertising ID and we do not build a behavioral profile of you for ad targeting. To serve ads, measure them and detect invalid traffic, the Google Mobile Ads SDK in the App automatically collects and shares with Google limited technical data: your IP address (which may be used to estimate your approximate location), a device identifier specific to apps from our account (app set ID), interactions with ads and the App (such as app launches and ad taps) and diagnostic information about the App's and the SDK's performance. This data is encrypted in transit and processed under Google's own privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy and AdMob-specific terms at support.google.com/admob.
Subscribing to the Pro version removes advertising entirely.
4. Consent choices (EEA / UK users)
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the App presents a consent form on first launch, provided through Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP), in line with Google Play's advertising policies. You can review or change your consent choices at any time from the App's Settings screen.
5. Crash reporting
The App does not include a crash-reporting or analytics SDK of its own. If you have allowed it in your device settings, Google Play may send us aggregated, anonymous crash and performance statistics (Android vitals), such as the device model, Android version and the technical error that occurred. These never include your recipes, prices, or other content you entered.
6. Subscriptions & payments
Pro subscriptions are purchased and billed through Google Play Billing. We never see or store your payment card details — this is handled entirely by Google Play. The App only receives confirmation of your active subscription status to unlock Pro features.
7. Data retention & deletion
Because your data is stored only on your device, you are always in control of it. Uninstalling the App removes its local data from your device (subject to any Android backup copy described in Section 2, which you control through your own Google Account settings).
8. Your rights
Since we do not operate a server-side database of your personal content, most data-access and deletion requests are already fully in your control through the App itself or by uninstalling it. For anything related to advertising data held by Google, you can use Google's own controls at adssettings.google.com. If you have any other request regarding this policy, contact us at support@foodcostcalc.app. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority; in Poland this is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO).
9. Children
The App is a professional tool intended for use by adults working in food-service businesses. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the App evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
