Privacy Policy

Athlete Mindset Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") operates the PlateMates mobile application ("the App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App. Please read this policy carefully. By using the App, you consent to the practices described herein.

Information Collected Automatically

• Usage data: features used, recipes viewed, meal plans created, and other interaction data
• Device information: device model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers
• Crash data: crash logs and diagnostic information to help us improve the App

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the App
• Personalize recipe recommendations based on your dietary preferences
• Flag allergens in recipes based on your allergy profiles

• Enable community features such as recipe sharing and voting

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

• Service providers: third-party services that help us operate the App (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.
• Community features: recipes, comments, and profile information you choose to share publicly through community features are visible to other users.
• Legal requirements: when required by law, regulation, or legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Athlete Mindset Inc., our users, or others.

When you use AI-powered features (PlateMates+), your prompts and household preferences are sent to our AI service provider to generate recipes. We do not use your personal data to train AI models. AI-generated content is not stored beyond what is necessary to provide the service.

Your data is stored securely using industry-standard encryption and security measures. Profile data and preferences are stored locally on your device. Community content and account data are stored on our secure cloud servers. While we take reasonable measures to protect your data, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure.

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the App's services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us. We will delete your data within 30 days of such a request, except where retention is required by law.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Object to or restrict processing of your information
• Request portability of your data
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support@platematesapp.com.

The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

The App may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy in the App or on our website. Your continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
