This policy explains how Cooper Chef, provided by Tien Dao, handles information. Parents and carers can contact us at SUPPORT_EMAIL.
Our approach
Cooper Chef works without an account. We do not collect or receive personal information through the app. The app has no advertising, analytics SDKs, tracking, or developer-operated network service. We do not sell or use app content for targeted advertising.
Information stored on your device
The app stores settings and content locally to provide its features. This can include custom dish and ingredient names, ingredient and container photos, kitchen background photos, ingredient sizes, feedback phrases, recorded or imported feedback audio, and sound preferences. Image background removal runs on the device using Apple’s Vision framework. We cannot access this local content through the app.
Optional permissions
- Camera: requested when you choose to take a photo for customisation.
- Photos: the system photo picker lets you select individual images. The app does not request unrestricted access to your photo library.
- Microphone: requested when you choose to record custom feedback audio in grown-up settings.
- Files: system file pickers let you select recipe and audio files to import, or choose where to save an exported recipe.
You can decline camera and microphone access and continue using the built-in cooking game. Manage these permissions in device Settings.
Recipe exports and other services
When you export a recipe, the resulting file contains its saved dish and ingredient names, photos, and ingredient sizes. Kitchen background photos and feedback audio are not included. Exported files may contain personal information if you added it to names or images. Only export and share content you intend others to receive.
You choose where to save or send the file. Storage providers, messaging services, and recipients handle that file under their own terms and privacy practices. Cooper Chef does not automatically upload recipes or operate a public recipe community.
Backups and Apple services
Local app data may be included in device or iCloud backups depending on your settings. Photos or files you select may also be stored by a provider you use. Those services are controlled by you and their providers; we do not operate an app cloud sync service. Apple separately handles App Store transactions and any diagnostics you choose to share with Apple under its own policies.
Children’s privacy
Cooper Chef is designed for children’s pretend play with customisation managed by a grown-up. We do not request children’s contact details, create child profiles, or collect children’s photos or recordings through an app server. The app has no ads, chat, or public posting. Parents and carers should manage custom content and file sharing and avoid adding unnecessary personal information. Grown-up settings use an arithmetic prompt to reduce accidental access; it is not identity verification.
Retention and deletion
Saved content remains on the device until you remove it using the app’s controls or delete the app. Deleting the app removes its local data; offloading the app can retain data. Copies exported to Files, sent to recipients, saved in other services, or included in backups are separate and must be managed there. We cannot remotely retrieve or delete local app content.
Contacting support
If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to send. We use it to respond to your enquiry and resolve the issue. Our email provider processes those messages to deliver and store email. We retain support correspondence only as long as needed to handle the enquiry and meet applicable obligations. Contact us to request deletion of support correspondence or ask a privacy question. Parents and carers should contact us on a child’s behalf and avoid sending children’s personal content.

We will update this page and its revision date if our practices change. The App Store privacy disclosures will also be updated when required.
