Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Smoqe ("we," "us," or "the app") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our iOS application and related services. We believe in collecting only what we need to make the app work, and being plain about it.
1. Information we collect
Account information
When you create an account, we collect your email address and an encrypted password (handled by our authentication provider, Supabase). We do not collect your name, phone number, address, or payment information.
Cook data
We store the content you create in the app: cooks, stages, meat types, weights, grill profiles, temperatures, notes, photos, and timestamps. This data is yours.
Photo library access
When you choose to attach a photo to a cook, iOS asks for your permission to access the photo library or camera. Photos you select are uploaded to your account's encrypted storage and are not accessed outside the cooks you attach them to.
Subscription & purchase information
If you subscribe to Smoqe Pro, the purchase is processed by Apple. We use RevenueCat to validate the receipt and keep your subscription status in sync across your devices. We do not see your credit card number, billing address, or full Apple ID.
Device & diagnostic information
We collect basic technical information to keep the app working: iOS version, device model, app version, locale, and anonymized crash logs. We do not collect your IDFA.
What we do not collect
- We do not collect your location.
- We do not collect contacts, calendars, or other apps' data.
- We do not run third-party advertising or analytics SDKs.
- We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers — ever.
2. How we use information
- To operate the app: store and sync your cooks, recipes, photos, and settings.
- To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
- To diagnose crashes and improve reliability.
- To respond to support requests when you email us.
3. How your data is stored
Account credentials and cook data are stored on managed cloud infrastructure operated by Supabase (which hosts on AWS). Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest.
4. Live Activities & notifications
When you start a cook, Smoqe uses Apple's Live Activities and (where supported) Dynamic Island APIs to display cook progress on your lock screen. This information stays on your device.
5. Sharing & disclosure
We share data only with the service providers required to operate the app:
- Supabase — authentication, database, and file storage.
- Apple — App Store distribution, push notifications, IAP, and optional crash reporting.
- RevenueCat — subscription receipt validation.
6. Your choices & rights
You can request deletion of your account and data at any time inside the app, or by emailing privacy@smoqe.app. We process deletion within 30 days.
