The short version

We use your information to operate and improve Weektable. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use dietary, allergy, pantry, grocery, or nutrition information for targeted advertising. You can ask to access, correct, export, or delete your information.

1. Who operates Weektable

Weektable is operated by Carl Isak Knox, referred to in this policy as “Weektable,” “we,” “us,” or “our.” Questions and privacy requests may be sent to [email protected].

This policy covers the United States private beta. Weektable is a meal-planning service, not a healthcare provider, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition.

2. Information we collect

Account and profile information

Name or display name, email address, authentication identifiers, household name, role, default servings, and account settings.

Meal-planning and kitchen information

Weekly plans, selected recipes, servings, meal status, pantry items and quantities, estimated best-by dates, grocery lists, purchase status, inventory history, and planning preferences such as difficulty, price, effort, and nutrition tiers.

Dietary and nutrition information

Dietary restrictions, allergy settings, disliked or excluded ingredients, prioritized ingredients, nutrition goals, calculated macro estimates, and interactions that may reveal food or wellness preferences.

Recipe and community information

Private recipes, recipes submitted for public use, ingredients, quantities, directions, creator credit, confirmation that you have the right to publish, ratings and rating feedback, Cookbook saves, “Never recommend” selections, reports, and moderation history. A recipe is public only when you explicitly choose to publish it and it passes the applicable review process.

Usage and technical information

Recommendation requests and outcomes, meals planned or marked cooked, feature interactions, timestamps, device/browser information, IP address, authentication and security events, diagnostic logs, and error information. We do not intentionally place allergy values, disliked ingredients, pantry contents, grocery contents, or recipe search and planning text into general usage analytics.

Information from other services

If you connect or intentionally use an outside service, we may receive account or transaction status needed to complete that request. Examples may include authentication, recipe discovery, nutrition data, grocery ordering, or an Apple-platform sign-in. The connection screen will identify the service and the information involved.

Sensitive information

3. Consumer health and dietary data

Dietary restrictions, allergies, nutrition goals, macros, recipe behavior, and some pantry or grocery entries may reveal or allow inferences about health. We treat this as sensitive information even when a particular privacy law does not apply.

  • Sources: information you enter, recipes and meals you choose, pantry and grocery activity, and calculations derived from those inputs.
  • Uses: applying dietary settings, suggesting recipes, estimating macros, creating grocery lists, helping you use pantry ingredients efficiently, supporting your requests, and maintaining safety and security.
  • Disclosure: only to service providers acting for Weektable when necessary to operate a requested feature, or to another service when you intentionally direct the transfer.
  • No advertising: we do not use this information to target advertising, and we do not sell it.

You may remove optional health-related preferences, withdraw a connected service, or request deletion. Where the law requires separate consent or withdrawal controls for consumer health data, Weektable will provide them before offering the affected feature.

4. How we use information

  • Provide accounts, household settings, weekly planning, recipe discovery, pantry, groceries, nutrition estimates, and Cookbook features.
  • Apply dietary settings and exclusions, personalize recipe suggestions, and explain why a recipe was suggested.
  • Calculate pantry availability, grocery needs, and nutrition estimates, and improve ingredient matching.
  • Review public submissions, respond to reports, prevent abuse, and enforce service rules.
  • Secure, debug, maintain, measure, and improve the service.
  • Comply with law, protect users and the public, and establish or defend legal claims.

Recipe recommendations are automated suggestions based on the preferences and activity described above. They do not produce legal or similarly significant effects, and you remain free to ignore, replace, or remove any suggestion.

5. When information is disclosed

We may disclose information in these limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: vendors that provide authentication, hosting, databases, security, error monitoring, email, recipe or nutrition processing, and other infrastructure under instructions from Weektable.
  • At your direction: for example, sending selected grocery items to an ordering service or publishing a recipe and creator credit.
  • Public areas: information you explicitly publish, such as an approved recipe, creator credit, and aggregated community rating.
  • Legal and safety reasons: when reasonably necessary to comply with law, investigate abuse, protect rights or safety, or respond to valid legal process.
  • Business transition: as part of a financing, acquisition, merger, reorganization, or sale, subject to appropriate confidentiality and notice requirements.

We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and Weektable does not currently serve third-party advertisements.

6. Service providers and integrations

The private beta uses service providers for hosting, account sign-in, databases, security, and related infrastructure. Weektable may also use providers for nutrition data, analytics, error monitoring, email, Apple services, recipe discovery, and grocery ordering as those features are enabled. Weektable does not currently send recipe-planning requests to a general-purpose AI model.

We will update this policy and the in-product notice before materially changing which services receive sensitive information. Third-party services that you intentionally open or connect also operate under their own privacy policies.

7. Retention and deletion

We retain account and product information while your account is active and as needed to provide the service. We may keep limited information longer when reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, legal compliance, financial records, public-recipe rights or moderation evidence, and enforcement of agreements.

We aim to acknowledge verified privacy requests within seven calendar days and ordinarily complete access, export, correction, or deletion requests within seven calendar days. Complex requests may take longer where permitted by law, and we will explain the delay. Deleted information may remain temporarily in restricted backups until their routine expiration.

When an account is deleted, an approved public recipe may be removed or de-identified unless preservation is needed to resolve a report, rights dispute, safety issue, or legal obligation.

Signed-in users, including users whose planning access is suspended, can download a portable JSON export or start account deletion from Account & privacy. Weektable may ask you to verify your sign-in again before deletion. We may keep a limited, non-identifying record of a deletion request to prevent account recreation and safely complete the request. Deleting your Weektable data does not delete accounts you hold with other services.

8. Your privacy choices and rights

Subject to applicable law and appropriate identity verification, you may ask Weektable to:

  • confirm whether we hold information about you and provide access to it;
  • correct inaccurate information;
  • provide a portable export;
  • delete information or your account;
  • withdraw consent for optional sensitive-data processing or disconnect an integration;
  • explain the categories, sources, purposes, and recipients of personal information; and
  • appeal a denied request where applicable.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right. Because we do not sell personal information or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising, there is no sale or advertising-sharing opt-out currently required to use Weektable.

Send requests from the email associated with your account to [email protected] with the subject “Weektable privacy request.” We may request information reasonably necessary to verify identity and protect the account.

9. Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information, including access controls, encrypted connections, managed infrastructure, and review of sensitive operations. No system can guarantee absolute security.

If a security incident affects information covered by notification law, we will investigate and provide required notices without unreasonable delay.

10. Children

Weektable is a general-audience service and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us so we can investigate and delete it as appropriate.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as Weektable changes. We will post the updated date and provide additional notice before a material change when required. We will not materially expand the use of sensitive dietary or health-related information without the notice or consent required by law.
