1. Who We Are

We operate AI Recipe Generator at https://aichef.vuatro.net, a service that creates personalized recipes based on user inputs, dietary preferences, and saved settings (e.g., allergies, intolerances).

2. Data We Collect

You may save dietary preferences (e.g., allergies, intolerances, cuisine preferences). These are stored securely and never shared with third parties unless required by law.

Recipe Generation & Sharing

Inputs (ingredients, dietary restrictions) and AI-generated recipes are processed to provide personalized results.
If you share a recipe publicly (e.g., on social media), it becomes visible to anyone with the link. We are not responsible for how shared recipes are used by others.
