PUSHED LLC

Privacy Policy

This policy explains what Fridge collects, why we use it, when service providers process it, and the choices available to you.

1. Who operates Fridge

Fridge is operated by Pushed LLC, a California limited liability company (“Fridge,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Questions and privacy requests may be sent to the monitored mailbox support@usefridge.app.

2. Information we collect

Account and profile information

This may include your email address or phone number, authentication identifiers, display name, username, profile photo, biography, cooking interests, and account settings.

Private kitchen and household information

This may include inventory items, quantities, expiration dates, shopping lists, meal plans, household membership, meal suggestions, notification choices, food preferences, and foods or allergens you ask Fridge to avoid.

Community content

Recipes, captions, ingredients, instructions, substitutions, photos, short videos, follows, reports, and other content you choose to publish or share are processed to operate Fridge’s community features. Your private inventory is not displayed on your public profile.

Photos and AI requests

When you use Smart Add or Smart Post, Fridge processes the image and related text to suggest grocery items, dates, or recipe structure. Images are compressed before analysis where supported. Fridge is designed not to permanently store original Smart Add photos, but recipe media you intentionally publish is stored until you remove it or your account is deleted, subject to lawful retention.

Technical and usage information

We and our hosting providers may process IP address, browser or device information, timestamps, security events, error logs, feature usage, referral attribution, and similar information needed to operate, secure, and improve the service.

Payment and referral information

If paid plans are enabled, payment providers process billing information. Fridge may receive customer, subscription, invoice, plan, payment-status, promotion, refund, and dispute identifiers, but should not receive or store full payment-card numbers. Creator and referral records may include conversions, commissions, payout status, and fraud-review information.

3. How we use information

• Provide authentication, inventory, expiration, recipe, shopping, household, and community features.
• Personalize recipes and meal suggestions using your choices and private inventory.
• Process AI-assisted photo and recipe requests that you initiate.
• Send service, security, expiry, household, and subscription communications you enable.
• Operate subscriptions, promotions, referrals, creator commissions, and customer support.
• Detect abuse, investigate reports, enforce rules, and protect users and Fridge.
• Measure reliability and improve the product using aggregated or minimized information where practical.

4. Service providers

Fridge may use Supabase for authentication, databases, storage, and server functions; Netlify for website hosting; Google Workspace and Resend for support or transactional email; Twilio for phone verification; OpenAI for user-requested Smart Add and Smart Post processing and safety classification; USDA FoodData Central for nutrition-source data; Apple Push Notification service or Firebase Cloud Messaging for device notifications; Stripe, Apple, or Google for billing; and Apple or Google for mobile distribution and optional sign-in. These providers receive only the information reasonably needed for the feature you use and process it under their terms and our configuration.

We do not sell your private kitchen inventory. We do not provide another user access to your private inventory unless you intentionally join a shared Family household, in which case only the household information described as shared is visible to its members.

Browser and device storage

Fridge may store session information, preferences, unfinished drafts, tutorial state, cached kitchen data, and feature settings in cookies, local storage, session storage, or secure mobile-device storage. Signing out, deleting the app, or clearing browser data may remove some local copies. Notification device tokens are used only to route notifications you enable and should be removed when you sign out or revoke notifications.

5. Retention

We retain information while your account is active and as reasonably needed to provide the service. Deleted content may remain briefly in backups and security logs. We may retain limited transaction, fraud-prevention, dispute, tax, or legal records when required or reasonably necessary, while removing them from ordinary product use.

6. Your choices

• Edit profile, preference, household, and notification settings in Fridge.
• Remove inventory, shopping items, saved recipes, posts, and profile media where controls are available.
• Request access, correction, export, or deletion by contacting support.
• Initiate account deletion in Fridge settings or through the public account deletion page.
• Disable optional notifications through settings or device controls.

7. Account deletion

An account-deletion request covers the account and associated personal data, except information we must or are permitted to retain for legitimate legal, security, fraud-prevention, payment, or dispute purposes. We will explain any required retention. Canceling a subscription and deleting a Fridge account are separate actions.

8. Security

We use access controls, row-level database rules, private server functions, upload restrictions, rate limits, audit records, and encryption provided by our infrastructure partners. No system is completely secure, so please use a protected device and promptly report suspicious activity.

9. Children

Fridge is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. A parent or guardian who believes a child provided information may contact us to request removal.

10. International use and changes

Information may be processed in the United States and other locations used by our service providers. We may update this policy as Fridge changes. Material updates will be communicated through the service or another appropriate method, and the updated date will appear above.
