2.1 Payment Details

Your payment details, such as credit card information, are not collected by us when you make purchases or subscribe within our apps.

Currently, this is the sole method for app payments.

3. Additional Data We Gather

3.1 Usage Insights

The PredEat App gathers analytical data to understand user interactions with our website and applications. This helps us identify popular recipes or those that might not be getting much attention. To enhance our content and features, we partner with third-party service providers skilled in analytics.

Analytics also play a role in evaluating our advertising's success. We place ads on third-party platforms to promote our apps, and through analytics, we can determine the effectiveness of these ads in driving app installations.

For details on our third-party service providers, see section 6.

Cookies or similar technologies that record visits and activity for analytical purposes. Third-party advertisers, like Google, may display our ads on various websites using cookies based on your previous visits to our site. You can opt out of Google's cookie usage in Google’s privacy settings.
