We use your data to run the product
Your recipes, calendar, pantry, grocery list, profile settings, and account details are used to provide the meal planning service.
Privacy
Privacy, written for the way DinDin actually works.
DinDin is a subscription meal planning service. That means we store the information needed to run your account, save your planning work, process subscriptions, and protect the service. We keep the model simple: use data to make the product work, share it only with providers that help us run it, and give you practical controls.

Where data is stored
Account and planning data is stored in systems used to operate DinDin, including application databases, file or object storage for supported uploads, logs, and backups. Some providers may process data in the United States or other locations where they operate.
How we protect it
We use practical safeguards such as account authentication, access controls, secure service providers, limited internal access, monitoring, and encryption in transit where appropriate. No internet service can promise perfect security, but our posture is to reduce access and protect planning data by default.
Data Controls
You should not need support to manage ordinary account data.
Download your data
Settings includes an account export so you can keep a copy of your recipes, planning data, and account state.
Change or remove content
You can edit recipes, pantry items, grocery lists, profile details, calendar entries, and settings directly in the app.
Disconnect integrations
You can disable calendar sync in Settings. If you connected Google Calendar, you can also revoke access from your Google account.
Deactivate your account
Settings includes account deactivation. Deactivation removes application data from primary systems, subject to limited retention described below.
Retention
We keep account and planning data while your account is active so your recipes, meals, lists, and settings remain available. If you deactivate your account, we remove application data from primary systems, but some information may remain for a limited time in backups, security logs, billing records, tax records, dispute records, fraud prevention records, or other records we are legally or operationally required to keep.
AI Features
When you use AI features, we may send the request details and relevant planning context needed to generate results. This may include dietary preferences, household context, recipes, pantry context, selected dates, or instructions you enter. Avoid entering sensitive information you do not want processed for AI output.
Children
DinDin is intended for adults managing household meal planning. It is not directed to children, and children should not create accounts. Household member details you add should be limited to what you need for planning.
Changes To This Policy
We may update this policy as the service changes. If a change is material, we will take reasonable steps to notify account holders, such as an in-product notice or email. The updated date on this page tells you when the policy was last revised.
