Introduction

Hey there, and a big thank you for checking out Chefit, which is proudly part of Cupio ApS (“Chefit”, “we”, “us”, “our”). We're all about turning the daily what's-for-dinner question into a highlight of your day, with a pinch of joy and a dash of delight. Your trust means the world to us, and that's why we're committed to guarding your personal information like it's our secret recipe. Got questions or need to chat about privacy stuff? Reach out at hello@chefit.app.

By using our website, mobile application, and enjoying our services, you're entrusting us with your personal details. We want you to know that we take this responsibility seriously. This privacy policy aims to be as clear and straightforward as possible, explaining what info we gather, how we use it, and your rights. Please give it a read, and if something doesn't sit right with you, feel free to step back from using our services.

This policy applies to all the bits and pieces that make up Chefit – our website, app, and any services we offer (collectively referred to as the “Service”).

Your Data and How We Handle It

Stuff You Tell Us

When you join us, chat with us, or dive into our app, you share bits of info like your name, email, what foods make you dance, and maybe the secret to your killer guacamole. If you log in with a social account, we grab some basics from there too. Just like in the kitchen, honesty makes for the best results, so please keep your info fresh and up-to-date.

Info We Pick Up Automatically

Just by hanging out with us, we pick up some technical tidbits like your IP address, the type of device you’re using, and how you interact with Chefit. It’s the behind-the-scenes stuff that helps keep our service as smooth as butter.

Information collected through our apps

When you’re using Chefit’s app, we get a bit more specific, collecting info that relates to your mobile device. We might ask to access your camera (for those mouth-watering food snaps), social media accounts, or contacts. You’re always in control, though. If you want to adjust what we can access, you can do that in your device’s settings.

Other Sources

Chefit may gather information about you from external sources like public databases, marketing collaborators, and social media platforms, including but not limited to Facebook, along with other third-party entities. The types of information we collect from these sources can encompass details such as your social media profile information (this includes your name, gender, date of birth, email address, your current city, state, and country, user ID numbers for your contacts, the URL of your profile picture, and any other details you decide to make public), as well as marketing leads, and data from search results and links, which might include sponsored link

Why We Need Your Info

Chefit utilizes the personal information gathered through our websites and apps to serve a range of business objectives, underpinned by our legitimate interests, the need to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, adherence to legal requirements, and your consent. This multifaceted approach ensures we manage your data with respect to your rights and our responsibilities. Here’s how we use your information:

Your Rights

You've got rights when it comes to your info, including saying goodbye to us and taking your data with you. If you ever want to check, change, or delete your info, just get in touch.
‍
‍

Keeping Your Data Cross-Border

We're based in the EU/EEA but the internet is a global kitchen. Your data might be stored or processed in a country that's not your own. We promise to protect your info, no matter where it's mixed or baked.
‍
‍

Cookies and Tracking

Yes, we use cookies – they help us serve you better. But if you're not a fan, you've got options to control or refuse them. Check out our Cookie Policy to learn more.
‍
‍

A Word on Safety

We do our best to protect your info, but the internet can be unpredictable. Just be aware that sending data online has its risks.
‍
‍

Kids in the Kitchen

Chefit's digital kitchen is designed to inspire chefs of all ages, but legal age requirements in your country determine who can legally enter this culinary adventure without parental consent. If you're not of legal age in your jurisdiction, imagine Chefit as that top-shelf ingredient you need an adult to fetch for you. It's the user’s responsibility to ensure they meet these age requirements, or have appropriate parental permission, to use Chefit's services. We provide the platform, but it's up to you to make sure you're following the rules of your home kitchen. If we find out we've accidentally collected data from a minor, we'll delete it pronto.
‍
‍

Updating Our Recipe (Policy)

Our Privacy Policy might get a tweak or two over time. We'll let you know if we make any big changes.
