Privacy Policy

Effective date: February 22, 2026

Information We Collect

When you create an account, we collect your email address and name. When you save recipes, we store the recipe URLs, titles, and timestamps associated with your account.

The Shy Tomato browser extension scans each page you visit for Schema.org Recipe structured data. This scan is performed locally in your browser — no page content is transmitted unless you explicitly save a recipe. The extension stores authentication tokens and your clip history locally in your browser via chrome.storage.local. This data remains on your device unless transmitted during API calls to shytomato.com.

How We Use Your Information

  • Authenticating your account and managing sessions
  • Extracting and saving recipes from URLs you provide
  • Displaying your clip history in the browser extension
