Data retention.

How we avoid keeping personal information longer than needed.

Last updated: 21 October 2026Review: at least annually

Current test build.

The current internal-test Android build does not maintain active Smart Meal Shelf accounts or cloud recipe data. When those services launch, the schedule below applies. We will update it if the technical design or legal obligations change.

Retention schedule for live features

Exceptions

We may retain limited data beyond these periods where necessary for a legal requirement, regulatory inquiry, security incident, fraud prevention, dispute, legal claim or another person’s rights. We will restrict access to retained data and remove it when the reason ends.
