Privacy policy
This explains what Fridge Raid does with your information. Josh Sardam, doing business as Fridge Raid runs the app. Contact us at fridgeraid2026@gmail.com.
Your photo
When you start a raid, the app sends your fridge photo to our server, and our server sends it to Anthropic's Claude, an AI service, to write your dinner ideas. We do not save your photo or the ideas on our server. Our hosting provider and Anthropic may keep technical records under their own policies. You can read Anthropic's at anthropic.com/legal/privacy.
Please do not photograph people or documents. The app is built to ignore them, but it is better not to send them at all.
What we keep
- On your phone: your three free raids a day, ad progress, and a secret wallet code. These live in your browser's storage. Clearing your browser data removes them.
- On our server, only if you buy: a scrambled copy of your wallet code (a one-way hash), how many paid raids you have, when your Pass runs out, and a record that each payment was already counted. If you are a Fridge Pass member who uses Community recipes, the same record holds your points, your nickname if you chose one, and which recipes you voted on. We do not store your name, email or card.
- Daily counts: we count raids per day so we can stop abuse and keep costs in check. These counts are not linked to your name.
Payments
Payments are handled by Stripe. Stripe collects your card details and any email you give it, under its own privacy policy. We never see your card number. Stripe tells our server that a payment went through, along with the scrambled wallet code, so we can add your raids.
Community recipes, votes and notes
If the Community recipes feature is on, Fridge Pass members can open a full recipe for a dinner idea, vote on it, and leave a short note. Recipes are written by Claude, an AI service, from the dinner name and a short summary. Your fridge photo is not used for recipes and is never shown to anyone.
- Notes and nicknames are public. Anyone using the app can read a note and its nickname next to the recipe. Do not put your real name, contact details, or anything private in a note or nickname.
- Automatic check. Before a note or nickname is posted, its text is sent to Anthropic's Claude to check that it is fit to show. It is sent without your wallet code.
- Votes are tied to your scrambled wallet code, not to your name. We use them to count likes, to give points, and to stop one person voting many times. Vote counts for a recipe are public; who cast them is not.
- Reports. Anyone can report a recipe or a note. We may remove content and may keep a record of the report.
Technical data
Your IP address is used briefly to limit how fast one person can send raids. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, may also keep ordinary request logs.
Ads
Ads are optional and only play when you choose to watch one. The app does not currently show ads.
What we do not do
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your photos to train anything.
Children
Fridge Raid is not for children under 13. If you think a child has used it, contact us and we will delete what we hold.
Your choices
- Clear this site's data in your browser to remove everything stored on your phone.
- To have the server record for a wallet code deleted, including your points and the notes you wrote, email us at the address below and include the code. Your wallet code lets us find the record, so we cannot find it without the code. If you bought something, write from the address on your Stripe receipt.
- You can ask what we hold for your wallet code, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email fridgeraid2026@gmail.com from the address on your Stripe receipt and include the code.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date above. If the change is big, we will tell you in the app.
