Privacy Policy for Dishora

Last Updated: July 11, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Dishora. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application (the "App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

Dishora is an AI-powered cooking application that turns the ingredients you already have into recipes. It lets you generate recipes from a list of ingredients or from a photo, scan existing recipes, save favorites, and share recipes with the community. This policy describes our practices regarding the collection and use of information through the App.

Dishora is operated by Blue Peak Software Solutions ("we", "us", or "our").

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

Account Information

  • Email address (required for account creation)
  • Full name (required)
  • Username (required)
  • Date of birth (optional; entered in account settings to confirm your age)
  • Profile picture (optional)

Content You Create

  • Recipes you generate, edit, save, or publish (title, ingredients, steps, cooking time, difficulty, servings, estimated calories, tags)
  • Photos you take or upload of dishes and ingredients for recipe generation
  • Text prompts describing the ingredients or dishes you want recipes for
  • Content moderation signals when you report or block another user's content

Preferences and Settings

  • Theme preference (light/dark/system)
  • Language selection (English/Spanish)
  • Favorites and other in-app choices

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • A unique account identifier assigned to your account
  • Basic technical data required to deliver requests in real time (this is not used for advertising or cross-app tracking)

2.3 Third-Party Services

Appwrite

  • Cloud backend used for account authentication, database storage of your recipes and profile, and file storage of your profile and recipe images.

Google Gemini (Generative AI)

  • When you generate or scan a recipe, the text you enter and the photos you submit are sent to Google's Gemini generative AI service to produce the recipe.
  • Dishora currently uses the Google AI Studio (free) tier of the Gemini API. Under that tier, Google may use the submitted content to provide and improve its services, including model training, in accordance with Google's terms and privacy policy. Do not submit content you consider confidential.
  • We apply content-safety moderation to inputs and outputs so that non-culinary, unsafe, or objectionable content is blocked.

We do not use third-party advertising networks, analytics SDKs, or crash-reporting SDKs in the App.

3. How We Use Your Information

3.1 Core App Functionality

  • Account management: Create and secure your account and sign you in.
  • Recipe generation: Send your prompts and photos to the AI service to create recipes.
  • Content storage: Store the recipes, favorites, and profile data associated with your account.
  • Community features: Publish recipes you choose to make public, showing your author name to other users, and enable favorites and shares.
  • Moderation and safety: Review reports, remove objectionable content, and block abusive users.

3.2 App Improvement and Communication

  • Understand aggregate, non-identifying usage to improve features.
  • Respond to your support inquiries and send essential account or service notices.

3.3 Legal Compliance

  • Comply with applicable laws, enforce our Terms, prevent abuse, and protect the safety of users and the service.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

4.1 We Do Not Sell Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

4.2 Publicly Shared Content

Recipes you choose to publish are visible to other users of the App, together with your author name and any images attached to those recipes. Do not include personal or sensitive information in content you publish.

4.3 Limited Sharing Scenarios

  • Service providers: Appwrite (backend, storage) and Google Gemini (AI generation), as described in Section 2.3, strictly to operate the App.
  • Legal requirements: When required by law, court order, or legal process, or to protect against imminent harm or illegal activity.
  • Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this policy.
  • With your consent: When you explicitly authorize a specific disclosure.

5. Data Security

5.1 Security Measures

  • Data in transit: All network communication uses HTTPS/TLS encryption.
  • Data at rest: Account and content data are stored on Appwrite's managed infrastructure; credentials are stored securely on your device.
  • Access controls: Authenticated, token-based access to your data.

5.2 Data Retention

  • Active accounts: Data is retained while your account is active.
  • Deleted accounts: Personal identifiers and account content are permanently deleted within 30 days of account deletion, except where limited data must be retained for legal or operational reasons.
  • Prompts and photos sent to AI: Handling of content submitted to the Gemini API is governed by Google's applicable terms for the tier in use (see Section 2.3).

6. Your Rights and Choices

6.1 Access and Control

  • View and edit: Access and update your profile and recipes in the App.
  • Correct: Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
  • Delete: Delete individual recipes, or delete your entire account (see Section 6.2).
  • Object/withdraw: Opt out of non-essential processing where applicable.

Depending on your location, you may have rights under laws such as the EU/UK GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection) and the California CCPA/CPRA (know, delete, correct, and opt out of "sale"/"sharing" — we do not sell or share your data for cross-context behavioral advertising). To exercise any right, contact us at hello@bluepeaksoftwaresolutions.com.

6.2 Account Deletion

You can delete your account from within the App or via our web page. See the Account Deletion Guide for the full process and timelines.

6.3 Data Portability

On request, we provide a copy of your account data in a common machine-readable format.

7. AI-Generated Content and Nutrition Disclaimer

  • Recipes, cooking times, difficulty, and calorie figures are generated by AI and are estimates. They may be inaccurate or incomplete.
  • Dishora does not provide medical, dietary, or nutritional advice. Always verify ingredients for allergens and food safety, and consult a qualified professional for dietary or health needs.

8. International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed and stored in countries other than your own, including where our service providers (Appwrite, Google) operate. Where required, transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

9. Children's Privacy

Dishora is intended for adults. You must be 18 years of age or older to create an account, and you confirm this by a sworn declaration during registration. The service is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will post the updated version, revise the "Last Updated" date, and, for material changes, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the App after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
