Rescale (“the app”) is a recipe scaling app for Android (package com.ryxan.recipescaler). This policy explains what data the app handles.
Data stored on your device
Your recipes, scaling settings, and preferences are stored locally on your device. The developer does not receive them, and the app has no account or sign-in system.
Data we collect
We don't collect your personal information. The developer runs no servers that receive your data. The app has no analytics or crash-reporting SDKs. The only ads are the optional rewarded ads described below.
Scanning recipes
When you scan a recipe, the app uses Google ML Kit (document scanner and text recognition). Text recognition runs on your device. The scanner is provided by Google Play services, and its use is subject to Google's terms.
AI recipe import (optional)
If you use AI import, the app sends the recipe image you chose to Google's Gemini API through Firebase AI Logic. Google processes it to extract the recipe text and returns the result. The app uses this feature only when you start it. Google handles the data under the Google Privacy Policy and the Firebase privacy information.
Don't submit images that contain sensitive personal information.
Purchases
Rescale offers optional paid items (a Pro subscription, a lifetime Pro unlock, and AI scan packs) through Google Play Billing. Google Play processes all payments, and the developer does not receive or store your payment details. The app checks your purchase status with Google Play to unlock the features you bought. Your remaining AI scan balance is stored locally on your device.
Rewarded ads (optional)
The app may offer optional rewarded ads that you can watch in exchange for bonus AI scans. These ads are provided by Google AdMob, which may collect and use your device's advertising ID and other device information to serve and measure ads, and may ask for your consent where required by law. Ads are shown only when you choose to watch one.
You can reset or opt out of your advertising ID in your Android settings. See the Google Privacy Policy for details.
App integrity checks
The app uses Firebase App Check with Play Integrity to confirm that requests come from the genuine app. This process may share device and app integrity signals with Google.
Retention and deletion
Recipes stay on your device until you delete them or uninstall the app. Uninstalling removes all local data. We hold no copies of your data. For data processed by Google, see Google's policies.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect children's data.
Changes
We may update this policy. The effective date above shows the latest version.
