Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 15, 2026
Sift is built so your recipes belong to you. The short version: your recipes and the data you put into the app stay on your phone. We do not run a server that stores them, and there is no account to create.
What we collect
Sift does not collect personal information. You do not give us an email address, a name, or a login. The recipes you import, the photos and screenshots you choose, your tags, plans, and shopping lists are all stored locally on your device.
Photos and screenshots
When you import a recipe, Sift asks permission to access a photo you select. The image is read on your device to pull out the recipe text. We do not upload your photos or send them anywhere. Once a recipe is saved, you control whether the original image is kept.
Subscriptions
Subscriptions are processed by Apple and managed through our payments provider, RevenueCat, which tells the app whether your subscription is active. Apple handles your payment details under its own privacy policy. We never see your card information. RevenueCat may process an anonymous identifier to keep your purchase working across reinstalls. You can review their practices on the RevenueCat website.
Notifications
If you turn on reminders, notifications are scheduled on your device. We do not need a server to send them, and turning them off in Settings stops them at any time.
Analytics
We do not use third-party analytics or advertising trackers. Apple provides us with aggregate, anonymized App Store statistics such as install and crash counts, which do not identify you.
Your control
- Export all of your recipes at any time from Settings.
- Delete any recipe, or delete the app, to remove your data from the device.
- Revoke photo or notification permissions in your iPhone Settings whenever you like.
Children
Sift is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. Since the app does not collect personal information at all, this is straightforward.
Changes
If we update this policy, we will change the date above and post the new version here. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
