Savormark — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Savormark ("we", "us", "the app") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Savormark mobile application. By using Savormark, you agree to this policy.

The app is operated by Samantha Au, based in Melbourne, Australia. You can contact us at support@savormark.app.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide:

• Account details — email address, username, display name, and (optionally) a profile photo and bio, created when you sign up. Sign-in may also be handled via Google or Apple, in which case we receive your basic profile info from those providers.
• Content you create — meal and drink logs, including titles, descriptions, reviews, ratings, ingredient and cuisine tags, recipe links, photos you upload, comments, and saved lists.
• Venue information — when you tag a restaurant, café, or bar, we store the venue name and location you select.

Information collected automatically:

• Usage data — basic information about how you interact with the app (e.g. posts created, likes, follows) needed to make features work.
• Device information — standard technical data your device provides to our service providers (e.g. app version, general diagnostics).
• Purchase information — if you subscribe to Savormark Pro, we receive your subscription status and transaction details (product, purchase and renewal dates) from Apple via our subscription processor. We never receive or store your card or payment details — Apple handles all payment processing.

We do not collect precise GPS location in the background. Venue locations come only from places you choose to tag.

2. How we use your information

We use your information to:

• Create and manage your account
• Display your posts, profile, and social activity (followers, likes, comments)
• Provide AI features — recipe recommendations, ingredient extraction from recipe links, and content moderation
• Show you relevant content in your feed and Discover
• Send in-app notifications you've enabled (likes, comments, new followers)
• Keep the app safe — including detecting and reviewing inappropriate content and handling reports
• Maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the app

3. How your information is shared

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help run the app:

When you use the "extract ingredients from a link" feature, the content of the recipe page you provide is sent to a third-party reader service and to Anthropic to identify ingredients.

Other sharing:

• Public content — posts you set to "public" are visible to other users and may appear in feeds and Discover. A "private account" limits visibility to approved followers.
• Legal reasons — we may disclose information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, or prevent abuse.

4. Your choices and rights

• Edit or delete content — you can edit, archive, or permanently delete your posts at any time in the app.
• Account privacy — you can switch your account to private in Settings.
• Notifications — you can turn off likes, comments, and follower notifications in Settings.
• Access or delete your account — to request a copy of your data or deletion of your account and associated content, contact us at support@savormark.app. You can also delete your account and all associated content directly in the app, under Settings.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights (e.g. under the Australian Privacy Principles, GDPR, or CCPA) to access, correct, or delete your personal information.

5. Data retention

We keep your information for as long as your account is active. When you delete content it is removed from the app; when you delete your account, we delete or anonymise your personal information within a reasonable period, except where we must retain it for legal reasons.

6. Security

We use reputable service providers and standard safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children

Savormark is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. The app may contain content related to alcohol and is intended for adult users.

8. International users

Your information may be processed and stored on servers located outside your country (including where our service providers operate). By using the app you consent to this transfer.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll update the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, notify you in the app.
