Privacy Policy

Lievanto is a baking logbook and calculator app operated by an individual developer based in the Netherlands. This policy covers the Lievanto mobile app and the website at lievanto.com.

For privacy questions, data requests, or account deletion help, email privacy@lievanto.com.

We collect the minimum data needed to run the service. If you create an account, we store your email address, display name, password hash, account settings, recipes, cook sessions, notes, ratings, photos, flour profiles, price book entries, planned bakes, starter logs, and other content you choose to save.

The app also stores authentication metadata, such as refresh tokens and timestamps, so you can stay signed in securely. We may keep short-lived server logs for security, debugging, abuse prevention, and reliability.

If you use the website launch notify form, we store the email address you enter and, if you add one, your optional feature wish. We use this to send launch updates, understand what bakers want, and administer the early-supporter benefit described in the Terms.

We use account data to provide the service you signed up for: sign-in, password reset, recipe storage, session history, exports, equipment-aware suggestions, and account deletion.

We use launch notify data with your consent. You can ask us to remove your email at any time by emailing privacy@lievanto.com.

We use logs and rate-limit counters under our legitimate interest in keeping the service reliable, secure, and protected from abuse.

AI import and optimization features are optional. When you choose to use them, the recipe text, image, or URL you submit may be sent to Anthropic so the feature can return structured recipe data or suggestions. Nothing is sent to AI unless you start an AI feature.

We keep usage counters to enforce abuse limits and budget guardrails. We do not use your recipes or session notes to train our own AI model.

We do not sell your data, run advertising profiles, or track you across other apps or websites. We share data only with service providers that help us operate Lievanto, such as cloud hosting, database hosting, object storage, email delivery, error monitoring, AI processing when you request it, and app-store distribution.

Some providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses, a data-processing agreement, or another lawful transfer mechanism.

Account data is kept while your account is open. If you delete your account, account content is permanently deleted from active systems. Some logs or backups may remain briefly where needed for security, legal compliance, or disaster recovery.

Launch notify emails are kept until launch and a reasonable follow-up window after launch, unless you ask us to delete yours sooner.

If you are in the European Union, you can ask to access, correct, delete, export, restrict, or object to the use of your personal data. You can also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

You can delete your account in the app from Settings, or use the public account deletion instructions. You can also email privacy@lievanto.com.

If you think we handled your data incorrectly, you can complain to your local data-protection authority. In the Netherlands, this is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

Lievanto is not directed at children under 16. The app asks new users to confirm they are 16 or older when creating an account. If you believe a child under 16 created an account, email privacy@lievanto.com and we will investigate.

The website uses no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If we add privacy-friendly aggregate analytics later, we will update this policy and name the provider.

Lievanto Learn articles are original educational summaries written for Lievanto. Source links are provided for further reading. Third-party source text, images, brand names, book titles, and trademarks remain with their owners.

If you own a cited work and want a credit changed or removed, email privacy@lievanto.com.

We may update this policy as the product changes. If a change materially affects your rights or how your data is used, we will give reasonable notice before it takes effect.

Email privacy@lievanto.com with privacy questions or requests.
