Health Data Notice

Last updated October 3, 2026

Some of what you tell Stovebird can say something about your health, such as a food allergy, celiac disease, a diet you follow, or foods you avoid for medical or religious reasons. Some state laws (for example Washington’s My Health My Data Act and Nevada’s similar law) call this “consumer health data”. This notice explains exactly what Stovebird does with it. It adds to our Privacy Policy.

What health data we collect

• Foods you never want used (“Never use”), such as allergens.
• Foods you’d rather not have (“Rather not”).
• Anything diet-related you type into a request note, such as “gluten-free” or “low sodium”.
• Feedback on recipes that may hint at a diet.

We collect it only from you, when you enter it. We don’t buy it, infer it from other sources, or collect it with location tracking.

Why we use it

Only to plan meals for you: to keep the foods you avoid out of your recipes and out of recipe photos, and to suit recipes to what you’ve told us. We don’t use it for advertising, and we never sell it.

Who it’s shared with

• Anthropic (Claude), which writes your recipes and checks recipe photos, receives the foods to avoid and the notes a request needs, without your name, email or account.
• Cloudflare, our host, stores it in your account’s private database.

No one else, except where the law requires it.

Your consent

We ask for your consent when you create your account, and we use this data only as described here. You can withdraw consent at any time: remove the details in Settings → Your household, or delete your account (Account → Delete my account). Without them, Stovebird can’t keep those foods out of your recipes.

Your rights

• Confirm whether we hold your health data, and get a copy (Account → Download my data).
• Have it deleted (remove it in the app, or delete your account).
• Withdraw your consent.
• See the list of companies we share it with (above).

To ask, use the contact form and choose Privacy. We respond within 45 days. If we decline, you can appeal by replying; we’ll answer the appeal within 45 days and, if you’re in Washington, tell you how to contact the Washington Attorney General.

A reminder

Stovebird tries to keep the foods you avoid out of every recipe, but it can’t guarantee a recipe or a product is free of an allergen. Always read ingredient labels. Stovebird doesn’t give medical advice; see the Terms.
