The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services (e.g., Instacart for grocery ordering, recipe source websites). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing them with your information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on the Service with a revised “Last updated” date, and where required by law, we will provide additional notice (such as in-app notification or email).
Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
