Beyond the information which Apple provides to developers (provided you have opted in), Pestle collects limited analytics and usage data to understand how the app is used, diagnose problems, and improve Pestle. This data may include app interactions, feature usage, app and device information, and your Pestle User ID. Analytics data is sent to and stored on Pestle's own servers. It is not sold or used for advertising. Analytics collection is enabled by default, but is optional. You can opt out at any time in Pestle's Settings, after which Pestle will stop sending new analytics data.
Despite our best efforts, when you try and import a recipe to Pestle it may fail. This is due to the varied nature of how recipe websites structure their data. In such a case, we take note of the failing URL and upload to our database. This is so we can work to support the website in the future. We do not store any information about who uploaded it. This means your submission is completely anonymous.
