1. Introduction
At Tinvo—your go-to app for logging baking experiments, tracking recipes, and using handy tools like the unit converter and success rate tracker—we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how we keep it safe, so you can focus on perfecting your next batch of cookies or sourdough without worry.
By using Tinvo, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the app.
2. What Data We Collect
We only collect data that’s necessary to make Tinvo work for you—and we never collect more than we need. Here’s what we might gather:
- Personal Identification Data (Optional): If you choose to share it (e.g., your email address for account recovery or support inquiries), but creating an account isn’t required to use Tinvo. We won’t ask for your name, address, or payment info unless you voluntarily provide it.
- Baking Activity Data: Information about how you use the app—like the types of baked goods you log (bread, cakes, cookies), how often you use the unit converter, or which notes you add (e.g., "adjusted sugar amount"). This data is anonymized (no personal info attached) and used to improve the app.
- User-Generated Content: The photos, notes, and custom recipes you upload to your baking logs. This content is yours, and we only store it to organize your logs and let you access them across your devices.
- Device & Technical Data: Basic info about your device (e.g., operating system, app version) to ensure Tinvo runs smoothly. We don’t collect location data or device IDs unless required for troubleshooting (and only with your permission).

3. How We Use Your Data
We use your data for three simple, transparent reasons:
- To Provide the Tinvo Service: We need to store your baking logs (photos, notes) so you can view, edit, and organize them anytime. We use device data to fix glitches and make sure the app works on your phone or tablet.
- To Improve Tinvo: Anonymized activity data helps us make the app better—like adding new features (e.g., a gluten-free recipe filter) if many users log gluten-free bakes, or refining the unit converter for easier use.
- To Help You (If You Ask): If you reach out to our support team (via the email below) with a question or issue, we may use your provided email (or other info you share) to respond and resolve the problem.
We never use your data to send unsolicited ads, and we don’t sell your personal data to third parties (not even to baking brands—promise!).
4. How We Protect Your Data
We take steps to keep your data safe from unauthorized access or misuse:
- Your user-generated content (baking logs) is stored on secure servers with encryption (think of it as a locked cookie jar for your data).
- We limit access to your data to only Tinvo team members who need it (e.g., support staff helping with your inquiry).
- We update our security measures regularly to keep up with best practices and U.S. data protection standards.
While we work hard to keep your data safe, no app is 100% immune to risks. We recommend using a strong password (if you create an account) and keeping your device’s software updated to add extra protection.

5. Sharing Your Data
We only share your data in two rare cases:
- With Your Permission: For example, if you choose to share a baking log with a friend (via a link generated in the app), we’ll only send that specific log to the person you select.
- To Comply with U.S. Law: If we’re required by a court order, subpoena, or other legal obligation under U.S. law to share data, we’ll do so—but we’ll only share the minimum amount needed to comply.
We don’t share your data with third-party advertisers, analytics companies, or other businesses for their own use.
6. Your Data Rights
As a user, you have control over your data. Here’s what you can do:
- Access Your Data: View all your baking logs, notes, and any personal info you’ve shared (via the "My Data" section in the app’s Settings).
- Edit or Delete Your Data: Change or remove any of your baking logs or personal info (e.g., update your email address) anytime.
- Export Your Data: Download a copy of your baking logs (as a PDF or CSV file) via the app’s "Export Data" feature—perfect if you want to back up your recipes.
- Request Data Deletion: If you stop using Tinvo, you can ask us to delete all your data by contacting our support team. We’ll confirm deletion within 7 business days.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time (e.g., if we add a new feature that collects different data). When we do:
- We’ll post the updated policy in the app (via a pop-up notification) and on our website (if we have one).
- We’ll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
Your continued use of Tinvo after the update means you agree to the new terms. If you don’t agree, you can stop using the app and request data deletion.
8. Contact Us
If you have questions, concerns, or requests about this Privacy Policy or your data, reach out to our support team anytime. We’re here to help!
