Privacy Policy for Pearmint

Effective date: July 6, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Webr World LLC ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Pearmint mobile application (the "App"). By using Pearmint, you agree to the practices described here.

If you have questions, contact us at support@pearmint.app.

1. Information We Collect

Account information. When you sign in with Sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your name and email address from that provider. We do not see or store your Apple/Google password. If you use Apple's "Hide My Email," we receive only the relay address Apple provides.

Content you create. We store the content you add to the App, including saved, imported, scanned, and AI-generated recipes; meal plans; grocery and shopping lists; pantry items; cooking history; and dietary or taste preferences you enter for yourself and household members.

Household information. If you create or join a household, we store household membership and invitation data so members can share recipes and plans.

Zip code. If you use the grocery price-comparison feature, you may enter a zip code so we can estimate prices at stores in your region. We use this to determine regional stores; we do not collect precise GPS location.

Photos you submit. When you scan a recipe, a receipt, or your pantry, the photo you capture or select is sent to our service and to third-party AI providers (see Section 3) to extract the recipe or item information. Recipe images may be stored to display in your cookbook; receipt and pantry photos are processed to extract items and are not stored.

Usage activity. We log in-app events (for example, recipes viewed, created, or imported) to operate and improve the App.

Purchase and subscription information. If you subscribe, your payment is processed by Apple — we never receive or store your card or bank details. We receive and store your subscription status (for example, plan tier, trial/renewal state, and expiration) via our subscription-management provider (see Section 3) so we can unlock paid features for you and your household.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information above to:

• Provide and maintain the App's features (recipe storage, meal planning, grocery lists, price estimates);
• Authenticate you and secure your account;
• Generate AI-assisted recipes, recipe images, and grocery price estimates;
• Enable household sharing;
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and improve the App;
• Enforce our Terms and prevent abuse.

3. Third-Party Service Providers

We rely on the following third parties to operate the App. Information is shared with them only as needed to provide the service:

• Google Firebase (authentication, database, file storage, and backend hosting) — hosts your account and content.
• Sign in with Apple and Google Sign-In — authenticate your login.
• Third-party AI providers (currently Google (Gemini) and OpenAI) — we send recipe text, scanned recipe and receipt photos, pantry photos, and grocery item lists to these providers to generate and parse recipes, generate recipe images, identify pantry items, and estimate grocery prices.
• RevenueCat — manages subscription status. RevenueCat receives your app user ID and purchase/subscription events from Apple; it does not receive your name, email, or payment details from us. Apple processes all payments.
• Expo (EAS) — delivers app updates.

The providers above are representative of the categories of services we use (authentication, hosting and storage, AI processing, and app delivery). The specific providers we use may change over time, and we may be delayed in updating this list. These providers process data under their own privacy terms. We do not control, and are not responsible for, their independent practices.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only:

• With the service providers listed in Section 3;
• With other members of a household you choose to join (shared recipes, plans, and lists);
• If required by law, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your information while your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from within the App (Settings → Account Details → Delete Account). Deleting your account removes your personal data from our active systems, subject to limited retention required by law or for security. If you are a household owner, deleting your household also deletes member accounts associated with it, as described in the App.

6. Security

We use industry-standard measures (including provider-side encryption in transit and access controls) to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

Pearmint is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to object to certain processing. You can exercise core rights directly in the App (account deletion) or by contacting us at support@pearmint.app. We will respond to verifiable requests within a reasonable period, and in any case within the time required by applicable law (generally 30–45 days).

9. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) gives you the right to: (a) know what personal information we collect and how we use it; (b) request access to or deletion of your personal information; (c) correct inaccurate personal information; and (d) not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. To exercise your rights, delete your account in the App or contact us at support@pearmint.app.

10. International Users and Data Transfers

We operate the App from the United States, and our service providers (Section 3) primarily process data in the United States. If you access the App from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those in your country. By using the App, you consent to this transfer and processing.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Effective date" above and, where appropriate, notify you in the App. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
