Yumclip privacy policy
This page is a translation. If it differs from the French version, the French version prevails.
Updated: 23 October 2026
This page explains what data Yumclip uses, why, with whom, for how long, and how you stay in control of it.
In short
- No advertising, no data sold, no tracking from one app to another.
- Your recipes, your planner and your shopping list are on our server, in the United Kingdom.
- To read a video, a page or a photo, our server sends it to Anthropic’s artificial intelligence service, in the United States, without your name or your e-mail.
- What you eat and your nutrition guide only leave your phone with your consent.
- Statistics and crash reports (Google) only run if you accept them.
- This site only measures its audience (Google Analytics) if you accept it.
- You delete your account from the app, or by writing to us.
1. Who is responsible
DEV PIXEL, SARL (a French limited liability company), 6 rue d’Armaille, 75017 Paris, France, RCS Paris 909 354 607 (Paris Trade and Companies Register). DEV PIXEL publishes Yumclip and decides how your data is used.
For your data and your rights: [email protected]. We have not appointed a data protection officer.
2. What we use, and why
| Data | Why | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Your account: an identifier; depending on how you sign in (Apple, Google, or e-mail and password), your e-mail and your first name; the avatar you choose | Signing you in, finding your recipes on all your phones | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) |
| Your recipes and the changes you make to them, the imported links, your favourites and collections, your planner, your shopping list, the recipes you have cooked, the number of imports this month | Providing you with the service | Contract |
| What you import: the link, the text of the page, the sound of the video (transcribed on our server), a few images from the video, your photos | Extracting the recipe from it (section 3) | Contract |
| The notification token, the phone’s language and time zone | Sending you the notifications you have kept on | Contract |
| Your Plus subscription: the store’s proof of purchase, the subscription’s status and dates, the store’s messages; if you cancel in the app, the date and what you enter on the screen (optional name, address) | Giving you Plus, recording your cancellation | Contract; legal obligation for the cancellation (Art. 6(1)(c)) |
| Your help requests (with the account’s e-mail, the version of the app and of the phone) and your error reports (with a copy of the recipe) | Answering you, correcting recipes that were misread | Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) |
| The IP address and time of requests, the proof that the request really comes from the app, the server logs | Protecting the service against abuse, fixing outages | Legitimate interest |
| What you eat (section 4) | Suggesting recipes that suit you | Your explicit consent (Art. 9(2)(a)) |
| Your nutrition guide (section 5) | Giving you a guide for your meals | Your explicit consent (Art. 9(2)(a)) |
| Usage statistics and crash reports (section 6) | Knowing what gets used, fixing bugs | Your consent (Art. 6(1)(a); Article 82 of the loi Informatique et Libertés, the French Data Protection Act) |
| On this site: the pages viewed, the videos started, the language chosen (section 6) | Measuring the site’s audience | Your consent (Art. 6(1)(a); Article 82 of the loi Informatique et Libertés, the French Data Protection Act) |
Account data is necessary to use Yumclip. Everything that requires your consent is optional: refusing changes nothing in the rest of the app.
Your answers when you first set up the app and your habits (how many people you cook for, your appliances…) stay on your phone. Each week, our server also calculates totals (successful imports, subscriptions), with nothing that identifies anyone.
3. Importing a recipe
From a link. Our server reads what the public page shows: the title, the text, the spoken sound of the video (transcribed on our server) and a few images. It does not keep the video: the recipe card links to the creator’s video. The link is sent without its sharing parameters. YouTube links go through an internet connection that we manage in France.
From your photos (up to 4). Before your first photo import, the app asks for your permission. On your phone, each photo loses its metadata (location, date, device). On our server, the photos stay in memory for the duration of the import, then are forgotten. Only a small thumbnail of the first one is kept as the recipe’s image. Avoid photos that show people or private information.
Reading by the AI. Our server sends this content to Claude, the artificial intelligence service of Anthropic, PBC (United States), without your name, your e-mail or your identifier. The same service estimates the nutrition of a recipe and writes “Another version”. Anthropic acts on our behalf and does not train its models on this content.
Shared recipes. The recipe drawn from a public video may be reused for the next person who imports the same video, without anything that concerns you. A recipe drawn from your photos is never shared.
4. What you eat
Your diets (“Vegetarian”, “Gluten-free”, “Pork-free”…) can reveal your health or your beliefs: they are sensitive data.
- Without your consent, they stay on your phone and are used only there.
- With your consent (a box that is never pre-ticked, during setup or in My habits), they accompany, without being kept, the recipe ideas on Home and “Another version”, read by Anthropic’s AI.
- To withdraw your consent, untick the box. There is nothing to erase on our side.
- The “diets” filter of the catalog search is sent with your search, without being kept.
5. Your nutrition guide (Yumclip Plus, optional)
- Data: year of birth, sex, height, weight, activity, goal, or your own figures; the date of your consent.
- Consent: asked for separately, box not ticked. Without consent, all the rest of the app works.
- Protection: encrypted on our server, never sent to the AI, never in the statistics. No guide before the age of 18, nor during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Withdrawing your consent: “Erase my guide”, in My account › My data. Everything is erased immediately.
- It is neither a medical device nor medical advice.
6. Statistics and crash reports
Yumclip uses Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics (Google), only if you accept them. Nothing is sent before you choose. You can change your mind at any time in My account › Privacy, with one switch for each. Your choice is kept for 6 months on your phone, then the app asks you again.
- What is sent: the screens opened and what you do in the app (a successful import, a recipe cooked…); Google adds an identifier of the installation (on iPhone, the app’s identifier for that phone), the phone’s model, system and language, the app version, an approximate location derived from the IP address, the length of sessions, and purchases. For a crash: what happened in the code and the state of the app.
- What is never sent: your account, your name, your e-mail, your recipes, what you eat, your guide, the phone’s advertising identifier.
- Google processes this data on our behalf and may also use it to improve its own services. Sharing with Google for advertising is switched off.
The creator’s move. In cook mode, the YouTube or TikTok player only loads if you tap “Watch the move”. It then follows the rules of YouTube (Google) or of TikTok.
On this site
yumclip.com and yumclip.app measure their audience with Google Analytics (Google), only if you accept it, in the banner shown on your first visit. Before you choose, and if you decline, the page loads nothing from Google and sets no measurement cookie. Without JavaScript, nothing is measured.
- What is sent: the pages viewed, the “How it works” videos started, the language chosen at the bottom of the page, and what Google Analytics records by itself (scrolling down the page, clicks to another site); Google adds a random identifier kept in a cookie, the device’s browser, system, language and screen size, the page you came from, and an approximate location derived from the IP address. Never your name or your e-mail.
- The cookies:
_gaand_ga_…, on the site’s domain, for 13 months at most. - How long: the data, 2 months in Google Analytics (the totals remain); your choice, 6 months in your browser, then the banner asks you again.
- Changing your mind: “Cookies”, at the bottom of every page, reopens the banner. “Decline” stops the measurement and erases the
_gacookies. - Google processes this data on our behalf and may also use it to improve its own services. Google signals and sharing for advertising are switched off. Google LLC, in the United States, is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (section 8).
7. The creators of the videos
If you publish recipes on video, your name or username, the link and the public content of your video may be read when someone imports it, sent to Anthropic’s AI, and kept in its recipe card with your credit. The recipe may be reused for other people who import the same video. Basis: our legitimate interest, and that of our users, in keeping a public recipe with its credit (Art. 6(1)(f)). For us to remove the shared recipe drawn from your video, write to [email protected] with the link.
8. The companies that receive data
We do not sell any data. These providers act on our behalf, on our instructions:
| Company | What it does for us | Where | Safeguard outside the European Union |
|---|---|---|---|
| OVH SAS (OVHcloud) | Our server: the API, the database, the catalog search, the transcription of the sound, the backups | London, United Kingdom | European Commission adequacy decision for the United Kingdom (Decision 2021/1772 of 28 June 2021, extended until 27 December 2031) |
| Google (Firebase: sign-in, notifications, app protection, Google Analytics, Crashlytics; Google Analytics on this site) | Sign-in, notifications, protection against abuse, statistics and crash reports, the site’s audience measurement | European Union and United States | Google LLC is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (adequacy decision of 10 July 2023) |
| Anthropic, PBC (Claude) | Reading imports, nutrition, “Another version”, translating the catalog | United States | Standard contractual clauses of the European Commission (Decision 2021/914), in Anthropic’s data processing agreement; copy on request |

The catalog’s photos and the ingredient icons are created with Gemini (Google), without any personal data.
Controllers of their own processing: Apple and Google for purchases in the App Store and Google Play, and for signing in with Apple or with Google; YouTube and TikTok for their players, once you tap “Watch the move”. The platforms that our server reads receive no data about you.

11. Your rights
At any time, you can:
- access your data and obtain a copy of it;
- rectify it;
- erase it;
- restrict its use;
- object to what is based on our legitimate interest;

Write to [email protected]. We reply within one month (three if the request is complex, and we will tell you so). We may ask you to prove that the account is yours.
If you believe your rights are not being respected, you can lodge a complaint with the CNIL (Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés, the French data protection authority) or with the data protection authority of your country.
Yumclip does not make any automated decision that would have legal effects for you.
12. Security
Encrypted exchanges between the app and our server, a database closed to the internet, the nutrition guide encrypted, every request checked as coming from the app, the service’s secrets kept out of the code. No one on our side will ask you for your password.
13. Minors
Yumclip is intended for people aged 15 and over. The nutrition guide is reserved for adults. Purchases follow Apple’s and Google’s rules, including parental controls.
14. Changes
If this policy changes on an important point, the app will tell you before the change applies. The date at the top of the page is that of the latest version.
