Your baking data — recipes, bakes, feedings, starters and photos — is stored only on your device and never leaves it. The app does send anonymous, aggregated usage and crash diagnostics to help us improve it, and in the free version the advertising software collects what it needs to show ads; see the Usage Analytics, Crash Reporting and Advertising sections below. None of it includes anything you have typed or photographed. We keep no account and no central record of your content.
Your recipes, bake sessions, and starter logs are stored in a local SQLite database on your device. This data never leaves your phone.
The Bake Log uses Google Firebase Analytics to understand how the app is used — which runs by default. We collect anonymous, aggregated interaction events (for example: a bake or feeding saved, a recipe or starter added, a guided bake started, a Baker's Mark earned, a screen opened, or a Premium purchase) plus the app-standard measures Firebase provides. These never include your recipes, notes, photos, or any content you enter — only that an action happened. Advertising personalisation is turned off, so this data is never used to target ads.
Firebase Crashlytics collects anonymised crash and error diagnostics to help us fix bugs, under legitimate interest and separately from the analytics above. No personal data is included in these reports.
From version 1.2.81, the free version shows a single banner advertisement. It appears above the tab bar on the Starter, Recipes, Bake and History tabs, and on the recipe and bake pages you open from them, and never as a full-screen ad. Versions 1.2 to 1.2.80 show no advertisements and contain no advertising software. Versions 1.1 and earlier showed a banner served by Google AdMob, which may collect device identifiers to serve ads, after asking for consent where the law requires it (from Settings → Manage Ad Consent in those versions). Ads are served through Appodeal, an advertising mediation platform, and the ad networks it works with (including AppLovin, BidMachine, Digital Turbine, InMobi, ironSource, Liftoff, Mintegral, myTarget and Unity Ads). To choose, show and measure ads, they may collect your device's advertising identifier, your coarse location (derived from your IP address), your device type and operating system, and which ads you see and tap. None of your recipes, bakes, feedings, starters or photos is ever shared with them. Before any ad is requested, you are asked for your consent choices where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland). On iPhone and iPad, Apple's tracking prompt then asks whether ads may use your activity across other companies' apps and websites. If you decline either, ads are still shown, but they are not personalised. You can change your consent choices at any time from Settings → Manage Ad Consent, and your tracking choice in your device's Settings. Appodeal's own policy is at https://appodeal.com/privacy-policy. Premium — the one-time unlock or the monthly subscription — removes advertising entirely: the ad software is not started at all.
Purchases are processed through Google Play (Android) or Apple App Store (iOS). We do not handle payment data directly.
All your data is yours. You can export or delete it anytime by uninstalling the app. We have no central record of your data.
