Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 7, 2026
1. Responsible person and scope
TurboV1 is responsible for BudgEat’s processing of personal information. Contact: hello@turbov1.com. This policy covers the BudgEat app and the pages at turbov1.com/budgeat.
2. Information used to plan meals
The app stores preferences and saved content on your device, such as household size, meal counts, budget, food preferences, foods to avoid, pantry selections, favorites, grocery progress and saved menus. When you request a plan or nearby offers, necessary parameters such as your postal code or region, selected stores, household counts, food preferences and requested meals are sent to the BudgEat backend. Dietary restrictions can reveal sensitive information; provide only what is necessary. The service uses an installation identifier to associate requests and generated plans, without requiring a named account. It does not require children’s names or dates of birth, or precise GPS access.
3. Usage measurement and installation attribution
The iPhone app uses Submetry and ActivationPal to understand first opens, onboarding, completed menu generation and feature use. Events can include an installation or device identifier, a session identifier, timestamps, app and operating-system versions, device model, language, time zone, App Store country and technical status or counts. Apple Ads attribution tokens may be sent to determine whether an installation came from an Apple search ad. These analytics events do not include your postal code, budget, food restrictions, pantry contents, recipe text or shopping-list contents. Network requests also expose an IP address to the receiving service. The current Android app does not integrate Submetry, ActivationPal or Apple Ads attribution. It sends the installation identifier and the parameters needed for menus and regional offers to the BudgEat backend over HTTPS.
4. Purposes and processing grounds
We use this information to deliver menus and offers, save your progress, operate and secure the service, troubleshoot failures and understand how to improve the app. Where applicable law requires a legal basis, service delivery relies on the requested service, operational security and proportionate measurement on legitimate interests, and consent where required. Contact us about your choices or to object to processing where applicable.
5. Service providers and transfers
Cloudflare provides hosting, network delivery and backend infrastructure. Submetry and ActivationPal receive the technical and usage events described above. Apple provides App Store distribution, device backup services when enabled, and installation attribution. Google Fonts serves the website’s fonts and receives the associated network request, including your IP address. Emailing support sends the information you choose to include to our email provider. Providers may process information outside your province or country, subject to their applicable terms and safeguards. We do not sell your personal information. Apple provides App Store distribution for iPhone; Google provides Google Play distribution for Android.
6. Website storage and links
This website has no analytics script, advertising tracker or email collection form. Opening a general BudgEat URL uses the browser’s language header to choose English, French or Spanish. Language links use explicit URLs; this site does not set a language cookie or save that choice in local storage. Hosting providers may process technical access and security logs. External links, including Apple and email services, are governed by their own policies.
7. Retention and security
Local data remains on your device until you remove it through available app controls or delete the app; iOS backups must be managed separately. Backend plans, requests, diagnostics and analytics records may remain on our services as needed to operate, secure and improve the service or meet legal obligations. Deleting the app does not automatically erase server-side records. We use HTTPS and limit access, but no storage or transmission is entirely risk-free. Contact us to request deletion of associated records; if possible, provide the relevant installation identifier or technical reference rather than sensitive food details.
8. Your choices and requests
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of your information, withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, object to certain uses or complain to the competent privacy authority. Write to hello@turbov1.com with your request. We may ask for information necessary to locate records and verify your authority; we will respond within the time required by applicable law. You can stop future app transmissions by stopping use and uninstalling it. Information you share through the iOS share sheet is sent only through the app or recipient you select.
9. Children and updates
BudgEat is designed for adults organizing household meals, not for children under 13 to use independently. Household child counts do not require identifying a child. Contact us if a child has provided personal information. We may update this policy when the service changes; the revision date appears above.
