Privacy policy
Last updated: 5 November 2026. It applies to the website funcook.com and to the Funcook app for Android and iOS.
Who is responsible
Funcook is a personal project by Antonio Michel Caubet (Deià, Balearic Islands, Spain). For anything about your data you can contact us.
What data we collect
- Your account: username, email, password (stored encrypted, never in plain text) and, if you sign in with Google or Apple, the identifier of that account and your profile photo.
- What you publish: recipes, photos, questions, tips, comments, replies, votes, who you follow, your shopping list and the private messages you send to other cooks.
- Technical data: if you use the app, an identifier of your phone to send you notifications (push) and the operating system; on the website, the usual server logs (IP address, date and page), which are deleted periodically.
We do not collect your location, your contacts or payment details, we do not show ads and we do not sell or give your data to anyone.
What we use it for
- So you can sign in and use Funcook: publish, comment, vote, follow other cooks and send messages.
- To let you know (by email or notification) when someone comments on your recipes, answers your questions, follows you or writes to you. You can turn these notifications off in the settings.
- To translate content automatically into your language (Google Cloud Translation): only the text of what is published, never your personal data.
- For the security of the service: preventing abuse and unauthorised access.
The legal basis is providing the service you ask for when you create your account and, for notifications, your consent.
What is public
Your username, your profile photo and what you publish (recipes, questions, tips, comments and replies) are public on funcook.com. Your email, your shopping list and your private messages are not.
Who it is shared with
Only with the services we need to work, which process the data on our behalf:
- OVHcloud (server in the European Union) and Cloudflare (delivery and protection of the website).
- Brevo, to send emails.
- Google Firebase, for the app's push notifications, and Google Cloud Translation, for automatic translations.
- Google and Apple, only if you choose to sign in with their account.
- Google Analytics, to count visits to the website, only if you accept its cookies.
Cookies
Technical cookies, needed for the website to work (they don't need permission): your session cookie (funcook_sesion, so you stay signed in), the theme one (funcook_tema, if you choose light or dark in the settings), the one with your cookie choice (funcook_cookies, one year) and the ones Cloudflare sets to protect the website from attacks.
Analytics cookies, only if you accept them: Google Analytics cookies (_ga and _ga_…, up to 2 years), to know how many people visit the website and which pages they read. Google may process this data outside the European Union, with the safeguards required by the GDPR. We do not use advertising cookies.
You can change your choice at any time from the «Cookies» link in the footer.
How long we keep it
As long as you have an account. If you delete it, your account and what you have published are deleted.
Your rights and how to delete your account
You can access your data, correct it or ask for it to be deleted. To delete your account and your data, follow the steps at funcook.com/en/delete-account or use “Delete my account” in the app settings. For any other request, contact us. If you think we have not handled your data properly, you can complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (aepd.es).
