BareRecipe Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 15, 2026

The short version

BareRecipe collects nothing. Your recipes, your library, and your license key stay on your device. We have no servers, no analytics, and no accounts.

Data we collect

None. The extension:

• does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data;
• does not use analytics, tracking pixels, or third-party SDKs;
• stores your saved recipes and settings only in your browser's local storage (chrome.storage.local), which never leaves your device.

Network requests

The extension makes exactly one kind of network request, and only when you ask it to: when you enter a BareRecipe Pro license key, it is verified once against Gumroad's license API (api.gumroad.com). Your raw key is never stored — only a one-way hash of it is kept locally so the app can remember your Pro status offline.

Recipe extraction itself is 100% local. Web pages you visit are never sent anywhere.

Permissions used

• activeTab / scripting — to extract the recipe from the page you are viewing when you click the extension.
• storage — to save your recipe library and license status locally.
• host_permissions (<all_urls>) — so the "View recipe" button can appear on any recipe site you visit.

Questions about privacy: reply via your Gumroad purchase receipt or the Chrome Web Store listing's support contact.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published with the extension update and the "Last updated" date above will change.
