Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Jeremiah Norman Liverseidge, doing business as Zestt ("Zestt," "I," "me," or "my"), processes information in connection with the Zestt Kitchen mobile application ("App"), related web pages, and support workflows.
1. Scope and Controller
Data Controller: Jeremiah Norman Liverseidge (d/b/a Zestt)
Contact: zestt.support@protonmail.com
This Policy applies to processing performed through the App and official
Zestt support pages.
2. Categories of Information Processed
- Permission-controlled data: camera input, selected photos/media, microphone input.
- App content and settings: pantry/inventory entries, OCR queue mappings, recipe preferences, dietary rules, profile fields you provide.
- Billing state metadata: trial dates, entitlement state, product identifiers, verification timestamps, and purchase status returned by app stores.
- Technical and diagnostic data: app version, OS version, device model class, locale, country hint, timezone, crash logs, diagnostic events, and feature health signals.
- If regional capability delivery is enabled: pack/version status, feature flag state, bootstrap manifest metadata, and integrity verification outcomes.
- Network identifiers generated in transit (such as IP address) when your device communicates with supported endpoints.
3. What Stays On-Device vs. What May Leave Your Device
Zestt is local-first. Pantry records, most recipe matching state, queue edits, and core usage content are designed to remain on your device.
Certain data may leave the device when needed for service operation, including billing verification, regional bootstrap configuration, signed pack delivery, and optional platform speech services.
4. Legal Bases for Processing
- Contract: processing required to provide core app functionality you request.
- Consent: permission-based access (camera/microphone/media), and optional features where consent is requested.
- Legitimate interests: reliability, fraud prevention, abuse prevention, diagnostics, and security.
- Legal obligation: compliance with applicable law.
5. Purposes of Processing
- Provide OCR, voice logging, inventory, and recipe matching.
- Operate subscription/trial access control.
- Determine market capability mode (full/partial/manual-first).
- Deliver, validate, and manage signed regional capability packs.
- Monitor quality, troubleshoot errors, and improve stability.
- Meet legal and compliance obligations.
6. Third Parties and Recipients
Depending on your platform/configuration, data may be processed by the following categories:
- Google Play and/or Apple App Store (billing, subscriptions, purchase verification).
- Device-level speech services (if used by your device/platform fallback path).
- Zestt-operated or contracted infrastructure used for bootstrap config and signed capability-pack delivery.
7. Data Sharing and Sale
Zestt does not sell personal data and does not share personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising. Data is disclosed only where required to run the service, fulfill your requests, protect security/integrity, or comply with law.
8. Regional Capability Delivery
The App may use a minimal bootstrap/config service to determine market readiness and required capability packs (for example store mappings, OCR/voice language assets, and regional food metadata). Pack artifacts are verified using integrity controls (including checksum/signature checks). If required packs are unavailable or invalid, the App may run in reduced manual-first mode.
9. Data Retention
On-device data is retained until deleted by you, app reset, app uninstall, or operational overwrite. Remote operational records, if any, are retained only as needed for service operation, security, and legal compliance, then deleted or de-identified.
10. Security and Encryption in Transit
Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards are applied. Communications with supported endpoints are encrypted in transit (for example HTTPS/TLS). No system can guarantee absolute security.
11. Your Rights and Choices
- Access, correction, or deletion requests (where provided by applicable law) via zestt.support@protonmail.com.
- Local deletion options include in-app delete/reset tools, app storage clear, and uninstall.
- Account-related deletion requests may also be initiated through the official delete-account workflow at zestt.org.
12. Children
The App is not directed to individuals under 18 years of age (or the age of majority where higher). If you believe data from a minor was provided in error, contact zestt.support@protonmail.com.
13. International Availability
Features may vary by region and rollout phase. Some markets may receive limited/manual-first behavior pending quality and compliance readiness.
14. Changes to This Policy
Zestt may update this Policy. Material updates will be posted with a revised "Last Updated" date.
