This Privacy Policy sets out the principles and practices implemented by Caner OBALI ("we", "us", "our") in relation to the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal data processed through the mobile application Zeytin ("the Application"). We are committed to complying with all applicable privacy legislation, including but not limited to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Australia), the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"), and relevant platform-specific requirements as imposed by Apple and Google.
We do not intentionally collect, retain, or process any personally identifiable information (PII) through the Application. Zeytin is designed to operate without requiring user registration, login, or input of sensitive data. However, the Application makes use of third-party services that may collect technical and usage data as part of their core functionality. These include:
While we do not have direct access to or control over data collected by these services, we ensure that their integration is limited to what is necessary for the functioning of the Application. If you use third-party services like Google or Apple for app analytics or ads, please refer to their privacy policies.
The Application integrates with the OpenAI API to deliver AI-generated content (e.g., recipes, prompts). When a user submits input within the Application, this input is programmatically transmitted to OpenAI servers for processing. Important Notice: OpenAI may log and temporarily retain API inputs and outputs to monitor for abuse, ensure platform integrity, and improve model performance, as permitted by their Data Usage Policy.
By using the AI functionality, you consent to this limited data handling process.
The Application uses Google AdMob for serving advertisements. AdMob may collect information such as:
Users can opt out of ad personalization through their mobile device settings.
For more information, refer to Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics are used to understand app usage and monitor technical performance. Data collected may include:
The Application uses Google Firebase as a cloud-based backend service to store and retrieve app-generated content (e.g., static recipe data). This content is preloaded by the developer and does not originate from users. The Application does not collect, store, or process any personal or user-generated data. No user data is transmitted to Firebase from the device during usage.
We do not maintain any servers or databases for the storage of personal data. However, third-party services utilized within the Application may process data on servers located in jurisdictions outside of your country of residence, including the United States and European Union. Where applicable, such transfers are safeguarded using Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other lawful mechanisms in accordance with GDPR and international data transfer rules.
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect data processed through the Application from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. These include:
However, no data transmission over the internet is entirely secure, and we make no guarantee of absolute security.
Since we do not collect or retain personal data directly, we do not establish internal retention periods. Any data retained by third-party providers is subject to their own retention policies and compliance obligations.
The Application is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we become aware of such collection, appropriate steps will be taken to delete the data.
We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. Material changes will be communicated via an update to the Application or this document. Continued use of the Application constitutes your acceptance of any modifications.
