Privacy policy

1. Who is responsible

yoink is run by Emil Pärlesköld and Noa Carle, Stockholm, Sweden. They are joint controllers for the personal data described here: they share the responsibility for protecting it, and you can exercise your rights with either of them.

Questions about privacy, or requests about your data: privacy@yoink.now.

2. What we process

• Content you submit: the link or text you give yoink, and the content of that post, to create the recipe. The recipe's text is also sent for translation when it's in another language than yours. It is not stored together with anything that identifies you.
• Account data, if you create an account: your name, email address and profile picture from Google, and your saved recipes, shopping list, pantry and settings.
• Usage records, if you have an account: when you create a recipe, and your plan.
• Referral code, if you created your account through a link with a campaign or creator code: that code.
• Shared recipes: a recipe you share and a link to its source. Nothing about you is stored with it.
• Technical data: server logs, anonymous visitor statistics, and anonymous service statistics (how long recipes take to create and translate and how well macros could be worked out, with no link, recipe text or anything that identifies you).

An account is optional. Without one, your data stays in your browser and we don't receive it.

3. Why, and the legal basis

• To provide yoink, your account and syncing between devices. Legal basis: performance of a contract with you (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)).
• To keep use fair, and to keep yoink secure and working. Legal basis: our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)).
• To understand how people find and use yoink (referral codes and visitor statistics). Legal basis: our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)).

Providing account data is needed to have an account, but you can use yoink without one. We make no automated decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects.

4. Who receives the data

These providers process data on our behalf, under a data processing agreement:

• Supabase: account database. Ireland (EU).
• Vercel: hosting and processing of submitted content. Sweden (EU); some processing may take place in the United States.
• Anthropic: AI that creates and translates the recipe and matches ingredients for nutrition data. United States.
• TypeSafe: nutrition data. United States.

When you sign in with Google, Google processes your sign-in as an independent controller, under its own privacy policy.

5. Transfers outside the EU

Data is transferred to the United States when a provider above processes it there. The transfers are protected as follows:

• Anthropic: the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses, in Anthropic's data processing agreement.
• Vercel: the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
• Supabase: data is stored in the EU. Any access from outside the EU is covered by standard contractual clauses in Supabase's data processing agreement.
• TypeSafe: the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses, in TypeSafe's data processing agreement.

6. How long we keep data

• Account data: until you delete your account.
• Usage records: 12 months.
• Shared recipes: until you ask us to remove them, since they are not linked to your account.
• Server logs: up to one hour.
• Anonymous service statistics: 90 days.
• Submitted content: only as long as it takes to create the recipe.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict its processing, to receive it in a machine-readable format, and to object to processing based on legitimate interest. You can download your data and delete your account in the app, or write to privacy@yoink.now.

You can complain to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY), imy.se.

8. Cookies and storage on your device

• Sign-in cookies, only when you sign in. They are strictly necessary to keep you signed in.
• Browser storage for your recipes, lists and settings, so yoink works without an account.
• Visitor statistics use no cookies and no stored identifiers.

yoink uses no tracking or advertising cookies.
