Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

The App does not require an account or email address. When you first open the App, we generate a unique, anonymous device identifier stored on your device. This identifier links your saved data to your device — it is not tied to your name, email, or any personal information.

The types of data we store include:

• Favorites and Recents: Foods and cook configurations you save for quick access.
• User Preferences: Your preferred temperature units (Fahrenheit/Celsius), default appliances, and onboarding settings.
• Adjustments and Feedback: When you tell us a cook time was too long, too short, or perfect, we store that feedback to improve our results.
• Cached Results: Cook time results are cached on our servers so the same query returns instantly next time.
• Product Data: When you scan a barcode, we look up the product in public databases and manufacturer sources. We cache product information to improve lookup speed for all users.

How We Use Information

• To provide cook time instructions and save your preferences
• To improve the accuracy of our cook time estimates using your feedback
• To cache results for faster subsequent lookups
• To analyze usage patterns to improve the App

We do not sell your personal information. Your saved foods, notes, appliance settings and feedback are never shared with advertising partners.

Third-Party Services

The App communicates with the following third-party services:

• AI Providers: We use AI language models to generate cook time estimates when no authoritative source is available. Your food and appliance selections are sent to these services to generate the estimate.
• Open Food Facts: A public database queried for product information when you scan a barcode.
• Manufacturer Websites: We fetch cooking directions from manufacturer websites when available.

These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they handle data.

Advertising and Cookies

Well & Done is free to use and supported by advertising on our website, and may show ads inside the App. We work with third-party advertising partners, including Google (AdSense on our website and, where ads appear in the App, Google AdMob), to serve, cap and measure ads.

These partners may set cookies or use device identifiers (such as Apple's Identifier for Advertisers or Android's advertising ID) and similar technologies. The information they use includes your approximate location derived from your IP address, your device type, operating system and browser or app version, and which pages or screens you view. That information is used to select the ads you see, limit how often you see the same ad, and report how ads perform.

• Personalised ads: ads may be tailored to your interests based on your activity across this and other sites and apps.
• Non-personalised ads: ads selected without interest-based targeting, using only contextual information such as the page or screen you are on and your approximate location.
• Consent: where the law requires it, including in the EEA and the UK, we ask for your consent before personalised advertising cookies or identifiers are used, and you can change your choice at any time.

You can control advertising data in these ways:

• Turn off ad personalisation in Google Ads Settings.
• Opt out of interest-based advertising from participating vendors at optout.aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative.
• On iOS, turn on Limit Ad Tracking or App Tracking Transparency for your device; on Android, reset or delete your advertising ID in system settings.
• Block or clear cookies in your browser. Blocking ads or cookies does not change your access to the App or its features.

Advertising partners act as independent controllers of the data they collect through ads and handle it under their own privacy policies. We do not receive your name or email address from them.

Data Storage and Security

Your cooking data (favorites, preferences, feedback) is stored on our servers, identified only by your anonymous device identifier. Cached cook results and product data are stored on our servers to benefit all users. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data.

Data Retention and Deletion

You can delete your saved favorites and preferences at any time within the App. To request deletion of all data associated with your device, contact us at support@wellanddone.app.

Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
