4. Account Requirement

Our app functions as a service, and users must have an active subscription to access recipes and other features. We do not permit browsing recipes without an active subscription. The sign-in process (including Sign in with Apple) is used solely to authenticate users and manage access to the app’s services. We do not retain or store personal data—such as your email address or other sensitive information—beyond what is strictly necessary for subscription management and ensuring secure access. If you register using Sign in with Apple, your account is used only to enable app functionality; any information provided is not saved for additional purposes. If you wish to use a different account, you must create a new account with the alternate credentials.
