Privacy Policy

Information we collect

You can use the calculator without creating an account. If you sign in with ChatGPT, we receive the email address and, when available, the name associated with that sign-in so we can identify your private Recipe Box.

When you save a recipe, we store its name, formula, instructions, notes, optional recipe photo, Baking Coach response, rating, creation date, and the email address used to keep it associated with your account.

If you use the contact form, the name, email address, topic, and message you submit are processed by Formspree so the message can be delivered and answered.

How information is used

We use this information to provide sign-in, save and retrieve your recipes, generate requested guidance, protect the service, troubleshoot problems, and improve My Proofing Box.

Baking Coach requests

When AI-enhanced guidance is available and you request it, your recipe details and the notes you entered are sent to OpenAI to generate the response. Avoid putting unrelated personal or sensitive information in recipe notes.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising

Essential technologies may be used to maintain sign-in and operate the site. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand page views and site performance. This service is designed to operate without analytics cookies, local storage, or individual visitor tracking.

My Proofing Box does not currently use advertising cookies. If advertising or other non-essential tracking is added, this policy and the site’s consent controls will be updated before those technologies are used where consent is required.

Sharing and retention

We do not sell your saved recipes or notes. Information may be handled by service providers that host, secure, authenticate, or operate the site, and may be disclosed when required by law or necessary to protect users and the service.

Saved recipes remain in your Recipe Box until you delete them or request deletion, subject to reasonable backup, security, and legal retention needs.

Embedded videos

Some guides include demonstrations hosted by YouTube. The video player is not loaded until you choose to play it. When you do, YouTube may receive information about your device and interaction with the video under its own privacy terms. We use YouTube’s privacy-enhanced embed domain where available.

Your choices

You may use the calculator without signing in, delete individual saved recipes in your Recipe Box, or contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of account-related information.

Children and changes

My Proofing Box is not directed to children under 13. We may update this policy as the service changes; a new effective date will appear at the top of this page.
