Off My Plate is a meal planning app run by one person, Rebecca Fiss. This policy explains what the app collects, who else sees it, and what it's never used for.
It's written to be read. If anything here is unclear, email offmyplateapp@gmail.com and ask.
The full detail is below, but the shape of it is simple:
Off My Plate is operated by Rebecca Fiss as a sole proprietor in the United States. For anything in this policy, including requests about your own information, the contact is offmyplateapp@gmail.com.
Payments are handled by Stripe. Your card details are typed into Stripe's own form and go straight to Stripe: they never reach Off My Plate's servers, and your card number is never seen or stored here.
What's kept on your account is the bookkeeping around that, not the payment details themselves:
Stripe is told your email address and your account's id, so it can recognize you and so a payment can be matched back to the right account. Your receipts, invoices and card are held by Stripe under their own privacy policy.
Your conversation with Mae isn't kept. What you type is sent to the AI provider so she can answer, and the app stores no transcript of it. What's kept is what comes out of a conversation: a meal you saved, a night on your plan, an item in your freezer, or a note she wrote down.
You can report a problem from the Profile screen, or by shaking your phone. Either way the report includes what you type and basic device information: your browser user agent, the size of the window the app was running in, and your platform.
You can attach a screenshot, and that's your choice rather than something the app takes by itself. If you got there by shaking your phone, it offers to capture the screen you were just on; from the Profile screen, you pick an image out of your photo library instead.
A screenshot of the app will usually show your own meals and household details, so it's worth a glance before you send it. If Mae's chat is open when you capture one, it will show that conversation too, and that is the single way anything from her chat reaches us, since nothing else keeps a record of it.
The hosting provider keeps standard server logs for security and reliability, which include IP addresses and request timestamps. This is ordinary infrastructure logging, not analytics, and it's not used to build a profile of you.
An allergy or a medical diet is health information, and it deserves calling out rather than being buried in a list. The app asks for this because Mae genuinely needs it to avoid suggesting something that would hurt you.
It's stored the same way as the rest of your preferences, and it's included in what gets sent to the AI provider when Mae plans a meal, because that's the only way she can work around it. It's not shared with anyone else, and it is never used for advertising, insurance, or any purpose other than planning your food.
You can see the notes Mae keeps on the Profile screen, and delete any of them yourself at any time.
Your dietary answers are held in two places: the note you can read, and a stored version the app works from when it decides what to suggest. Deleting the note clears both together, so removing it really does take that information out of the app rather than only hiding it from you.
There's one more thing on that screen worth knowing about. If you turn down a whole style of eating often enough, Mae learns to stop offering it, and that shows up as its own line reading something like "No vegetarian meals". It's kept separately from your dietary answers, so deleting a note doesn't remove it. It has its own delete, in the same place.
Off My Plate is for people aged 13 and over, and it's not directed to children under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from a child under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, email offmyplateapp@gmail.com and it will be deleted.
The app does record how many children are in your household, because that's how it sizes a meal. That's a number you give us about your own family, not information collected from a child, and the app never asks for a child's name, age, or any other detail about them.
Off My Plate can be tried without signing up, as a demo embedded on a website. It's the same app underneath, so it behaves the same way, and that's worth spelling out.
So if you would rather not hand over real details about yourself and your household just to have a look around, the demo is a perfectly good place to make something up, starting with the name. Nothing in it is connected to a real account.
Stated plainly, because most apps in this category do some of it:
Running the app means using a small number of other companies. Each one only receives what it needs to do its job, and none of them may sell your information or advertise to you with it. Some of them do hold what they receive for a short period for their own security and misuse checks, which their own terms require of them.
Under the current business terms of both AI providers, content sent through their APIs isn't used to train their models. Those are their terms rather than ours, so they could change; if they change in a way that affects you, this policy will be updated and you'll be told.
Information may also be disclosed if the law genuinely requires it, or to protect someone's safety. If that ever happens and it's legally permitted to tell you, you'll be told.
When you correct the grocery category the app guessed for an item, for example moving something out of Produce, that correction is logged without any identifier attached to it. It records the item name and the category change, and the record itself carries no account details. It's used to improve the app's guesses for everyone.
Your information is kept for as long as your account exists, because the whole point of it is that Mae doesn't ask you the same question twice.
When you ask for your account to be deleted, your account and the meals, plans, freezer items, preferences and notes attached to it are removed within 30 days. Encrypted backups may hold a copy for a short while after that before they roll over.
Three things are deliberately not swept up in that, and it's better to say so than to let you assume otherwise:
Deleting your account doesn't by itself stop a subscription, because the subscription lives with Stripe rather than in the account being deleted. Cancel it first, or say in the same email that you want it cancelled too, and it will be handled together.
You can change most things yourself, at any time, without asking anyone. Mae's notes about you can be read and deleted on the Profile screen. Saved meals and plans can be edited or removed in the app, and freezer and shopping list items deleted, all without asking anyone.
For anything beyond that, including a copy of everything held about you, a correction, or full deletion of your account, email offmyplateapp@gmail.com and it will be handled within 30 days.
Being straight with you: there's not yet a self-serve delete button in the app. Right now these requests are done by hand, by a person, on request. That's a gap being worked on, and in the meantime the request will be honored either way.
You have the right to know what's collected and why, to get a copy of it, to correct it, and to have it deleted. You also have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, though there's nothing to opt out of, because it's never sold or shared for advertising. Exercising any of these rights will never get you worse service or a worse price.
You have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your information, to object to or restrict how it is processed, and to complain to your local data protection authority. The legal basis for most processing is performing the contract you entered into by using the app; for the anonymous improvements described above it is legitimate interest.
Allergies and medical diets count as health information, which needs its own separate basis. That basis is your explicit consent, given when you choose to enter it. You don't have to; the app works without it, and you simply get suggestions that know less about you. You can withdraw it at any time by deleting the note on the Profile screen, which clears it, and you can email offmyplateapp@gmail.com if you would rather someone did it for you.
Off My Plate is operated from the United States and its providers are US-based, so using it means your information is processed in the United States.
No system is perfectly secure, and it would be dishonest to claim otherwise. If a breach ever affects your information, you'll be told promptly and told what to do about it.
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. If a change actually matters to you, for example a new company processing your information, or a new purpose it's used for, you'll be told in the app or by email before it takes effect rather than left to notice a date.
