Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Overview

ChocoForm is built on a simple principle: your recipes and formulations are yours. The app is designed to work entirely on your device, and we collect as little data as technically possible to operate the service.

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with third parties for advertising. We do not use it to train machine learning models.

What we collect and why

Recipes and formulations

All recipes you create in ChocoForm are stored locally on your device using Apple SwiftData. They never leave your device unless you explicitly enable iCloud sync.

If you enable iCloud sync, your recipes are stored in your personal iCloud account using CloudKit. We have no access to your iCloud data — it is governed entirely by Apple's iCloud Terms and Privacy Policy.

Subscriptions and payments

Subscription management is handled entirely by Apple via StoreKit 2. We never see, store, or process your payment information. Apple provides us only with an anonymised receipt confirming your subscription status. For questions about billing, contact Apple Support directly.

AI features

Apple Intelligence runs entirely on-device. No prompts, responses, or any related data leave your device. Apple Intelligence is available to Pro subscribers.

Claude Sonnet AI (Pro+ subscribers only) sends your prompts to Anthropic's API via a Cloudflare proxy operated by ChocoForm. We log only the count of API requests per Apple ID in order to enforce the 250-requests-per-month quota. We never log, store, or read the content of your prompts or the AI's responses. Requests are not linked to any personally identifiable information beyond an anonymised subscription token.

Ingredient database

When you search the USDA FoodData Central database from within the app, your query is sent directly to the USDA's public API as an anonymous HTTP request. We do not intercept, store, or see these queries. The USDA's own privacy policy applies to those requests.

Analytics and crash reporting

We do not embed any third-party analytics SDKs (no Firebase, Mixpanel, Amplitude, or similar). If you have opted into sharing analytics with developers in your iOS/macOS settings, Apple may share anonymised, aggregated usage data with us through App Store Connect. This data contains no personally identifiable information and we cannot link it to individual users.

Crash reports follow the same mechanism — opt-in through Apple's system, aggregated and anonymised before we see them.

Data we do not collect

Your name, email, or any contact information
Your location
The content of your recipes or AI conversations
Any behavioural or advertising identifiers
Microphone, camera, or contacts data

Data retention and deletion

Because we store no personal data on our servers, there is nothing to delete on our side. Your recipes live on your device and in your iCloud account — you can delete them at any time from within the app or from iCloud settings. Uninstalling the app removes all local SwiftData storage.

The only server-side record we hold is an anonymised request counter tied to your subscription token. This counter resets monthly and is deleted when your subscription ends.

Children

ChocoForm is a professional tool intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us at the address below and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We may also notify you through the App Store update notes. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
